I: Statement of Purpose

Instructional design is performed "to bring about a particular change" (Brown & Green, 2006, p.88). Therefore, the statement of purpose designates the desired change to take place. In general terms, the statement of purpose outlines the desired result of instructional design.

Examples:

  • This instruction will enable a healthy adult to perform basic yoga positions.
  • This instruction will allow a fourth grader to create a variety of electrical circuits.
  • This instruction will enable an active youth to run a 5K.

Hints:
The statement of purpose needs to be broad enough to encompass several tasks. However, it should not be so broad that the instruction is unmanageable.
