I have studied many instructional models. I subscribe to instructional philosophies that are within Behviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism, Constructionism, and Social Constructivism pedagogies. Click on the link below to see a short video describing some instructional models.

Within the current online courseware options, my role as instructor is moving toward being a guide rather than solely as a presenter.
I have followed and personally favor these models and theories:

 

Benjamin Bloom - Blooms Taxonomy (Cognitivism)

R.E. Corden - Group Discussion and Qualitative Research (Social Constructivism)

John Dewey - Works in Education (Constructivism)

​Robert Gagne - Conditions of Learning, Nine Events of Instructions, and Evaluation of Instruction (Constructivism Theorist)

David A. Kolb - Experiential Learning and Learning Style Inventory (Constructivism) 

G.A. Miller - Cognitive Load Theory and Cognitive Psychology (Cognitivism)

Maria Montessori - Montessori Education (Constructivism)

M. Nystrand - Classroom Dynamics (Social Constructivism)

Ivan Pavlov (Behaviorism)

Jean Piaget - Perception, Memory, and Schema (Constructivism)

B.F. Skinner - Programmed Instruction (Behviorism)

George Siemens - Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) (Connectivism Theorist)

Edward Thorndike (Behaviorism)

Lev Vygotsky - Learnining and Human Development (Constructivism)

Weber, Maher, Powell & Lee - Group Discussions (Social Constructivism)
