What is Criterion Referenced ETD?
What is CRI?
CRI is short for Criterion Referenced Instruction
(or Intervention) an approach to the analysis, design, development,
implementation, control and transfer of PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES.
It has impact especially where a skill deficiency is one of the aspects
restraining people from achieving or where new levels of achievement are
desirable!
CRI is at the heart of what is often referred to as
PERFORMANCE-BASED
COMPETENCE-BASED
OBJECTIVES-BASED
MODULAR
and probably the one encompassing all the others,
the
OUTCOMES-BASED (
approaches to Performance Improvement and Education,
Training and Development of people!
Introduced by Robert Mager and Peter Pipe in the 1960’s and 1970’s, then with a drive towards redesigning training for impact and learner centeredness, the emphasis has since shifted from training and education to a broader inclusive HUMAN PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT approach!
