This is a review of Robert Gagne's 'Nine Events of Instruction', brought to light once again as a result of a LinkedIn discussion. Each of the nine events is discussed briefly, and the author helpfully adds a link in each to an example or article with greater detail. Readers should also consult Gagne's eight phases of learning, which describe 9according to him) what actually happens when people learn. I'm not really a fan of this description and approach, but Gagne's ideas and terminology - like 'chunking', 'selective percption' and 'encoding' - can be found in a lot of educational literature today.
