The key takeaways are that Criterion Referenced Instruction (CRI) is a self-paced learning approach focused on creating measurable results through targeted online training. It was developed by Robert Mager based on his experience in the US Army where he found that training did not always achieve its intended goals.

The origins of CRI date back to World War 2 with the need for effective training programs. It was developed by Robert Mager and Peter Pipe to improve training delivery. The key principles are designing objectives tied to skills/knowledge and allowing learners to master skills at their own pace through practice and feedback.

The four main steps in the CRI process are: 1) Task/goal analysis to identify learning needs 2) Define measurable performance objectives 3) Criterion-referenced testing to evaluate learning 4) Develop learning modules based on the objectives.

Introduction

Criterion Referenced Instruction, or CRI, is an approach that centers on multimedia-rich, self-guided


learning experiences.

Its four-stage process offers Instructional Designers the opportunity to create targeted online training
courses that produce measurable results. This makes it highly effective in the corporate eLearning sector.

This theory is based on using objectives to drive instruction.

This theory is best suited for students who are able to work through self-paced instruction.
History
• The origins of Instructional Design dated back as early as World War II with the need for
creating training programs.
• Robert Mager had first-hand experience training in the US Army and was directly
involved in these training regimes.
• His role in the army involved instructing recruits on a large scale
• However he found that in many cases the training did not achieve what was intended.
• From this phenomenon, Mager went about seeking ways to improve training delivery.
• Robert Mager along with peter pipe developed a framework for Instructional Design- the
Criterion Referenced Instruction (CRI)
• It is important to know what changes are required
before embarking on the Instructional Design
Process and thus there comes the need of
Crafting Crafting the Learning Objectives
• They clearly states what the intended outcome of
learning the training should be and must be measurable

objectives •Characteristics of the Objectives:


• Performance: Skillset After Training
• Conditions: Perform the Tasks in Specific
Conditions
• Criterion: How well it must be done
Criterion-referenced instruction (CRI)

• The Principals of CRI:


1. Design instructional objectives that are directly tied to skills and knowledge
2. Study and practice only skills that they have not yet mastered
3. Learners have opportunities to practice each objective; they are given
feedback on their performance
4. Learners are offered repeated practice to maintain their level of proficiency
5. Learners choose the sequence and pace of their learning, while following
any constraints imposed by prerequisite knowledge or skill requirements

• The four step process:


1. Task analysis or goal analysis: Identify what needs to be learned
2. Performance objectives: Specify the outcomes and how they will be evaluated
3. Criterion-referenced testing: Determine the knowledge or skills needed to
accomplish the stated outcome goals, and decide how to evaluate that they
have been learned
4. Development: Create learning modules based on the objectives
