The components that are connected to the instructional design model are learners needs analysis, learning objectives, instructional materials and sequence, instructional media, instructional strategis, authentic assessment, and performance improvement. The components of the model are arranged following a mix model approach, and thus the model application and use are more flexible. The ID model was validated by two experts through expert reviews and four teachers’ perception.
