Abstract
Instructional design is a complex process involving the design and creation of appropriate instruction for varied contexts and audiences. Research suggests that novice instructional designers find that their formal education has left them ill-prepared to deal with the challenges of 'real-world' design. One reason is the lack of focus on preparing novices to think critically and reflectively about instructional design. Traditional classrooms can foster critical and reflective thinking in novices by using certain techniques such as modeling, scaffolding, and Socratic questioning. As the number of online ID courses increases, however, it is necessary to examine the processes and techniques that could support critical thinking in instructional design in an online environment. In this study we examined the implementation of scaffolding in an online environment and three major phases in the development of critical thinking in five novice instructional designers is described.
