In the article “8 Effective Instructional Design Models in 2025,” Gupta (2024) reviews eight well known instructional design models that guide the creation of engaging educational content. Key models include the ADDIE framework, which emphasizes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation; Bloom’s Taxonomy, which categorizes learning objectives; and Merrill’s Principles of Instruction, focusing on real-world relevance. Other models include Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, the Dick and Carey Model, the Kemp Design Model, Action Mapping by Cathy Moore, and the SAM Model. Each framework offers unique strategies to enhance training effectiveness and learner performance.  

Gupta’s article “8 Effective Instructional Design Models in 2025” (2024) serves as a valuable resource. By outlining well established models, it offers insights into diverse approaches to improve learner engagement and performance. This information would particularly interest instructional design students and corporate trainers looking for effective strategies to implement in their programs.
