Among these models, Collins' cognitive apprenticeship model has the most explicit prescriptions for instructional design. The paper analyzes the cognitive apprenticeship model, then uses components of the model as an organizing framework for understanding the remaining models. Differences in approach are noted between traditional ID prescriptions and the cognitive teaching models. Surprisingly, we were unable to identify common design strategies common to all of the model programs. Key differences among programs included: (1) problem solving versus skill orientation, (2) detailed versus broad cognitive task analysis, (3) learner versus system control, and (4) error-restricted versus error-driven instruction. The paper concludes by arguing for the utility of continuing dialogue between cognitive psychologists and instructional designers.
