• Resumen

  • The development of learning hierarchies is a fundamental step in the design and development of instructional systems oriented toward the teaching of intellectual skills. Up until now several methods have been developed which indicate how the instructional designer should accomplish this task. Each method presents interesting ways of performing the task but suffers from a lack of precision in the way the procedure should be conducted, as in its capacity to exhaust the ‘capabilities’ which have to be taught. In developing the procedure which will be described in this paper the authors have attempted to combine the advantages of the previous methods while avoiding their defects. Basically the procedure relies on the flowcharting method used in computer sciences and on the works of Robert M Gagné on the development of learning hierarchies.
