Effect of Instructional System Design on Transformation of Learning Approaches

The purpose of the paper is to consider the change in the learning approaches of a learner and encourage them to the deep approach of learning. In this study, SOLO taxonomy developed by Biggs and Collis was applied. To determine this, learners used Computer Aided Learning and Printed Text Material where the content made use of proper instructional design which helps to promote deep learning. All students were asked to complete the LPQ before and after the course and the learning approaches were compared after using the three different learning tools - Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), CD based system and Printed Text Material (PTM) where the contents for all the three tools followed the SOLO taxonomy.
