A method for planning educational program development was developed which draws all elements of the planning, design, execution, and evaluation of a program into one systematic unit. The approach uses successive models of what, how, and where people learn to provide strategies for the design of instructional sequencies. The first step is a model of the structural organization of the behavioral outcomes which is a hierarchical illustration of how the behavior outcomes fit into an organized system of knowledge and skills. The second step is a model of the specific human mechanisms for learning, motivation, and attention that are utilized in the acquisition of the desired instructional outcomes. The third step is a model of the environmental structure necessary to facilitate the desired learning. The model was used on the Kentucky January Project which taught students about health care delivery systems and the teamwork approach to health care. (Auhtor/JY)
