This exploratory, multiple case study examined the teaching behaviors of three effective community college teachers from an Instructional Systems Design perspective. The purpose of the study was to: (a) Identify those effective teacher behaviors reflective of ISD principles, (b) determine how the identified ISD behaviors are employed by effective teachers, and (c) identify those ISD principles omitted by effective teachers. / Key ISD behaviors studied included: (a) developing specific goals and/or objectives, (b) developing objectives-based instruction, (c) developing objectives- based assessments, and (d) revising instruction based upon collected student data. Secondary attention was given to other ISD planning skills and the delivery of instruction in accordance with ISD principles. / The three teachers were selected from a pool of teachers who had been recognized for their outstanding teaching. The subject matter taught by the teachers included: humanities, occupational therapy, psychology, and writing. / The evidence used to answer the case study questions was gathered from teacher planning documents, teacher and student interviews, student surveys and classroom observations. / The number of ISD behaviors employed by the effective community college teachers varied greatly. Whereas one teacher employed all fourteen behaviors, the other teachers employed only a few of the planning behaviors and most of the delivery behaviors. Detailed descriptions of the instructional behaviors performed by the teachers are described. / Four factors that may influence the use of ISD principles are discussed. Implications related to the community college setting and the literature on effective teaching are also discussed. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 54-11, Section: A, page: 3980. / Major Professor: Robert Reiser. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1993.
