Gagné’s Nine Events:
Aronson, 1984:
Instructional events are classes of events that occur in a learning situation. Each event functions to provide the external conditions of learning described previously. Therefore, one designs instruction in part by ensuring that the events used in instruction are planned to satisfy the necessary conditions of learning,”

Gagne's 9 general steps of instruction for learning are:
- Gain attention:
- An initial task in any instruction is to gain the learner’s attention so that other instructional events can function properly
- Informing the learner of the objective:
- The purpose of communication the objective to the learner is to enable the person to answer the question: “How will I know when I have learned?” (Gagné & Briggs, 1979)
- Stimulate recall of prerequisite learning:
- Essential capabilities must be available for recall before new learning can occur.
- Presenting the stimulus material:
- The range of stimulus material is varied as the range of instructional objectives. The actual form of the stimulus material will also be determined by the subject matter and such factors as the characteristics of the learners and the media used.
- Providing learning guidance:
- The function of learning guidance is to help the learner acquire the particular capabilities specified in the objectives
- Eliciting the performance:
- In order to determine if a learner is in fact acquiring a particular internal capability, it is important to have the learner perform an overt action.
- Provide feedback about performance correctness:
- To be most effective, feedback should be informative.
- Assessing the performance:
- The purpose of this event is to determine if the learner obtained the objective and can consistently perform what was intended
- Enhancing retention and transfer:
- Instructional designers cannot assume that learners will be able to transfer learning from one situation to another such retention and transfer should be included as part of the instruction
