Abstract:

Computer-based instruction (CBI) has strong historical roots in behavioral psychology.Recent advances in CBI have changed instructional environment for CBI design. In addition, CBIdesigns have been influenced by technological improvements and human factors. The purpose ofthe study is to examine of the effects of presenting strategies on ROPES+ Model for CBI lessondesign from an integrated perspective. ROPES- Model is not a CBI model; it is a meta-model thatprovides requirements of instruction for CBI models. These requirements arc Retrieving,Orienting, Presenting, Encoding, Sequencing, and additionally Contextual (+) factors. Theeffectiveness of components is discussed with presenting phase to create effective computerscreen design for CBI lessons. The processes are classified as psychological, instructional, andtechnological dimensions for screen design based on ROPES+ model. In addition, cognitivestructure of instruction based on ROPES+ Model was developed to provide effective strategies foradaptation of instruction in CBI. As a result, directions for the next Web-based instruction (WBI)or CBI lessons by screen design research and theory findings were presented with thecontributions of ROPES+ Model in this study. Thus, cognitive structure of instruction onROPES+ Model can be used in the future classes for creating high quality interactive designs aswell as creating traditional CBI lesson designs. ]]>
