WHAT IS ASSURE MODEL?

The ASSURE model is an instructional framework or rule that instructors can use to
create lesson plans which coordinate the utilization of innovation of technology and
media (Smaldino, Lowther and Russell, 2008). The ASSURE Model emphasizes the
student and the general result of achieving learning targets. The ASSURE model is an
enhanced advancement of the ADDIE general model. Although the ASSURE model has
six stages, which don‘t relate to ADDIE‘s five, ASSURE additionally presents
configuration stages, and offers with it the two principle includes: the underlying
spotlight on examination and the cyclic structure.
The exceptional component of this model is that it is centered around ―arranging and
directing Instruction that fuses media‖ (Heinich, Molenda and Russel, 1993). Its principal
point of view is on the best way to incorporate media (any sort of media) into guidance in
a technique equipped for delivering the ideal learning results. Created by Robert Heinich
and Michael Molenda decades prior, the ASSURE model picked up ubiquity due to its
utilization in a well-known course reading for instructors.

WHAT IS ASSURE MODEL?

It is a notable instructional structure control that utilizes the constructivist point of view,
which integrates multimedia and technology to upgrade the learning condition (Lefebvre
2006). The ASSURE model was altered to be used by educators in the study hall by
Smaldino, Lowther, and Russell, 2008. The teacher leans toward the ASSURE model
since it is intended to be utilized for a couple of long stretches of instruction and every
individual understudy. This model doesn‘t require high multifaceted nature of
conveyed media, profound ID information, or high correction of plans (Gustafson and
Branch, 2002). The ASSURE model gives the new or beginner teacher a general guide to
follow to assist them with deduction increasingly like experienced teachers.
This model was developed by Heinrich and Molenda in 1999 and is based closely on
the Instruction Events of Robert Gagne. Furthermore, Smaldino, Lowther & Russell,
2008, adapted the ASSURE model to be used by teachers in the classroom.
Understanding when to use teaching techniques and immersive technology is key to
being successful academically in the future.

SIX STEPS OF ASSURE MODEL

The ASSURE Model has six steps, each represented by a letter in the acronym title,
with each step describing a set of tasks central to the informed selection and use of
educational technology. The ASSURE acronym stands for these essential components:

Analyze Learners - The first step in the process is to make the instructor evaluate her
learners‘ attributes. Those learner characteristics that are correlated with the optimal
learning outcomes should be given a priority. The collected information will help you
with the decisions you make on the other steps in the process. When you assess the
learners‘ character, this will help you in choosing different techniques and tools to
assist the learning process. Your learner analyzes will include:
General attributes of learners (e.g., age, academic abilities, gender, interests, etc.
Prior competencies
Learning styles, such as auditory, visual, and tactile

State Objectives - The next step in planning is to state the objectives of the lesson or
presentation accurately. Targets must be specified in terms of what the learner (not the
instructor or presenter) would do as a result of the training (in behavioral conditions).
Your lesson will have two or three clear targets. Usually, goals include four (4)
essential parts:
 A statement that describes the intended Audience. For example, “The first-grade
student will . . .” or “The student will . . .”
 A description of the student‘s anticipated Behavior resulting from your teaching.
This conduct must be detected to be assessable. For example, it is beneficial to use
action verbs such as add, alphabetize, organize, construct, pick, classify, contrast,
define, describe, diagram, identify, kick, mark, locate, create, multiply, name,
produce, pronounce, choose, sketch, sort, determine, say, throw, emphasize,
verbalize and compose. Ignore such terms as learning, appreciating, grasping, or
understanding.

SIX STEPS OF ASSURE MODEL

 A description of the Condition to be observed for results. What tools does it require
the student to use (e.g., a map, a dictionary)? Which tools or equipment does it need
the student to use? Will the student be permitted to use notes or a summary when
composing an article?
 A declaration of the learner‘s Degree of accuracy or ability must be demonstrated to
pass forward. The conditions should be based on the real-world and not specified on
the multiple-choice test. Time and efficiency are also crucial to other purposes. Will
an English student in 11th grade be able to write a theme in 5 paragraphs within 50
minutes? If a third-grade student can solve at least seven of ten single-digit
multiplication problems, can the instructor believe he or she has mastered the
concept?

14
SIX STEPS OF ASSURE MODEL
Select Media and Materials - In this step, you have set the starting point (the
student‘s current information, aptitudes, and perspectives) and the consummation
point (objectives) of your instruction. Presently your activity is the fabricate an
instructional scaffold that will associate the two focuses. You may choose accessible
materials, change existing materials, or structure new materials to help achieve the
task. You may select a few distinct kinds of media to use with the unit. Any of the
media/innovations examined in the content will be fitting.
Utilize Media and Materials - Here you should choose how the students will utilize
the materials. Next, set up the room and be sure the essential hardware and offices are
accessible and prepared for your utilization before you use the exercise. It‘s vital to
follow the “five p‘s” process to achieve this:
Preview the Technology, Media, and Materials
Prepare the Technology, Media, and Materials
Prepare the Environment
Prepare the Learners
Provide the Learning Experience

SIX STEPS OF ASSURE MODEL

Require Learner Performance - This step expects you to depict how you will get
every student effectively and exclusively engaged with the exercise. Students
understand best when they are effectively engaged with the learning experience.
Whatever your teaching approaches, make sure to fuse questions and replies,
conversations, group work, hands-on exercises, and different methods of getting the
students engaged effectively with the learning of the contents. You should give close
consideration to your students and feel sure that they are really getting a handle on the
content and not merely tuning in. Taking an interest in the learning will encourage this
degree of comprehension. Permit them to build information instead of attempting to
feed them with information. Finally, for this step, feedback must be provided to the
learner before any type of evaluation is conducted.

16
SIX STEPS OF ASSURE MODEL
Evaluate and Revise - The last advance of the ASSURE technique is to Evaluate
Student Performance. Here the assessment ought to be coordinated to the target.
Eventually, this final stage is the most significant. You should assess the guidance
procedure through, and through utilizing the goals you made before all else. It is
useful to consider your complaints, the instructional process, the instructional
materials, and the appraisal. By assessing the students against the targets, it tends to be
resolved if the exercise was successful and whether any progression should be altered
or rethought.

The ASSURE lesson plan model guides in the joining of innovation into
study hall guidance. It fills in as a guide for educators and spotlights fair and square of
innovative help applied. The best possible utilization of this model will enhance day
by day exercises and understudy exercises and expand the capability of open
innovations.
