The behaviourist model is still widely adopted forinstructional design of teaching factual or procedural knowledge of engineering. Instructorsconvert the reality into abstract or generalized representations, and transfer them to studentsthrough a well-planned, linear and gradual procedure in a “tamed” environment, be it aclassroom or laboratory.
