Applying the ADDIE Instructional Design in Kindergarten in order to Produce a Video Highlighting Women’s Contributions to Science
Abstract
Integrating experiential learning into early childhood education promotes creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. This study applies the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) instructional design model to develop a project in which kindergarten students explore the contributions of women scientists and produce a collaborative video. The project was presented in a competition and aimed to enhance understanding of diversity in science while children developed basic skills of inquiry and creative expression. Results indicate that the application of the ADDIE framework facilitated a structured yet flexible approach to project design and implementation, leading to increased student participation and understanding.
