Theoretical Instructional Design Foundations for Course Activities

	Generative Learning	PBL	Collaborative Learning
Definition	A process of building connections between existing knowledge and new information, manipulating information while thinking about how to connect it to current knowledge.	A process of constructing knowledge by working with new information identified during problem solving. Learning is not in solving the problem rather it is in investigating the information necessary to solve a problem.	An instructional method in which learners with various knowledge work together toward a common goal, learning by sharing knowledge with each other.
Theory	Cognitive Development	Cognitive Development	Social Learning
Goal of instructiona activities	Generating organizational relationships and integrated relationships	Identifying and exploring information related to context-specific ill-structured problems	Meaning making based on sharing and examining perspectives, and adjusting personal knowledge during social activities
Instructiona strategies	Write summaries, develop questions, create summary tables write examples, draw pictures, interpret phenomena, paraphrase, predict, use inferences	Define and explore problem, research problem, identify potential solution, test solution, analyze results of solution	Contextualized team activities, collaboratively setting team goals, identify member tasks based on competencies, collaborate on and discuss information
