This irreverant critique of Gagne and the responses below are worth a read before trying to use Gagne's nine stages of learning.
Presentation on Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction. Gagne is associated with behaviourism. The model itself seems common sense in places, but has been criticised for its non impirical origins and for sometimes leading to the creation of dull materials. Models always need to be taken with a pinch of salt, but can be a good place to start thinking about an area.
An online summary of this approach to teaching: Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT for short) is a teaching and learning strategy based on the interaction between web-based study assignments and an active learner classroom. Students respond electronically to carefully constructed web-based assignments which are due shortly before class, and the instructor reads the student submissions "just-in-time" to adjust the classroom lesson to suit the students' needs. Thus, the heart of JiTT is the "feedback loop" formed by the students' outside-of-class preparation that fundamentally affects what happens during the subsequent in-class time together.
