What is Developmental Instruction

Chapter 17
Recent Advances in Applying Identity and Society Awareness to Virtual Learning
With developmental instruction, consideration is given toward offering instructional practices for helping a person transition to higher levels of cognitive and moral reasoning in alignment with expected developmental growth and demonstrated capabilities. Developmental growth to higher levels can be facilitated by instructional practices to introduce calculated incongruities encountered with the use of existing levels of cognitive and moral reasoning for facing challenges requiring higher levels of reasoning. Awareness of incongruities can help a person to perceive the need for growth and consequently be more likely to engage with developmental effort.

Abstract
A simulation design is introduced for using artificial intelligence (AI)-augmented developmental instruction for improving contemplative practices in the face of complexity. The focus of the design is on developmental instruction in the use of contemplative cognitive and moral reasoning practices to improve self-awareness and means to better discern and address complicated and complex challenges. Developmental instruction is supported by an AI-augmented tutoring aid provided during a simulated mission to Mars within an immersive 3D-world. A set of tasks are introduced during the Mars simulation to assist with the development of contemplative practices. The AI-augmented tutoring aid assists participants in the simulation to better understand and apply contemplative practices involving cognitive and moral reasoning meta-thinking suitable for each task. High levels of fidelity, involving visual, auditory, and interactive model-based reasoning (MBR) tools help to embed the senses, thoughts, and actions of participants in the feeling of traveling and being on Mars.

Identity Growth in the Professions
Developmental instruction, associated with professional identity growth, involves offering instructional practices making use of social learning, direct socialization, and reflected appraisals for helping a person to transition to higher levels of cognitive and moral reasoning. Instructional practices introduce calculated incongruities required to instigate movement toward the next developmental growth level.
