Francoys Gagné

Francois Gagné was a psychologist and educational theorist known for his work on how people learn skills and knowledge. He developed a model called the "Nine Events of Instruction," which outlines steps teachers can follow to help students learn effectively, from gaining attention to ensuring retention and transfer of knowledge. Gagné emphasized that different types of learning, such as skills or attitudes, require specific teaching strategies, and that understanding these can improve educational outcomes. His work is influential in designing instructional methods that are more systematic and tailored to learners’ needs.
