Structuring Learning/Instructional Strategies through a State-based Modeling

This study, through the ontological engineering approach, aims at building a conceptual basis that encourages instructional designers in better understanding of learning/instructional theories, which mean that instructional designers can select and integrate appropriate strategies from theories within an instructional context. This paper proposes a methodology of structuring the theories in terms of strategies included in them, in which strategies can be structured independent of paradigms and theories.
