| Abstract: | The study guide, as an important resource for student learning, is here conceptualized in an ideal general form. The process starts with an examination of its instructional context, then explores the learning functions it is meant to support. This in turn leads to a sketch of the practical components which can be employed in the design of a study guide, with a discussion of various practical decisions to be made along the way. The ideal study guide which is developed here is only meant as a prototype, a template of sorts for particular instructional design efforts in study guide development. |
