[quoting Jonasson, 3 May 94.d] There is a lot of instruction in a lot of constructs that will benefit from objectivist methods. As a designer, you need to be able to select methods, models, and strategies from a variety of paradigm to meet the needs of learners in a particular context.
I agree with this philosophy, however, I am concerned that our field is not providing research-driven guidelines for the selection of these approaches. Is this an accurate assessment? Do guidelines exist? Are the answers obvious or should our research be addressing this issue?
