Abstract

Utilization of systematic instructional design models in industrial training has been a standard since the introduction of those models. However this standard has been questioned after the interdiction of constructivist instructional design model. No doubt, the application of efficient instructional design models has a determining effect on productivity of managers training and development. In the present study selecting an appropriate approach to instructional design for managers training and development in organizational context was examined. This could solve many training problems, and improve the efficiency of instructional system in those settings. Kirkpatrick's training evaluation model was used to compare the effectiveness of each program. Findings showed that managers in constructive group had more satisfaction and more positive attitude toward training. Also, training of the constructive group was found to be more effective than that of the systematic one.
