4C/ID Model

For complex skills training with whole-task practice

How 4C/ID Model works

Complex skills are taught through scaffolded whole-task activities.

Phases of 4C/ID Model

  1. Learning Tasks: Participants work on realistic, whole tasks that mirror real-world scenarios; this provides context and motivation for learning the necessary skills.
  2. Supportive Info: Learners receive information that helps them understand the underlying concepts and principles related to the tasks, fostering deeper comprehension and problem-solving abilities.
  3. Procedural Info: Participants get precise, step-by-step instructions on how to perform specific procedures or tasks, ensuring they can execute the required actions correctly and efficiently.
  4. Part-Task Practice: Learners practice individual components or sub-skills of the whole task in isolation, allowing them to master specific elements before integrating them into the complete task.
