Gagne Nine Events of Instruction Sequence Lookup
Named Gagne nine events observed coverage/order audit, not claim missing event implies ineffective instruction. Audit exact supplied observed stages against the independently verified declared order, not pedagogical/performance efficacy. Caller independently verifies learner/context/evidence and reference edition; not causal learning efficacy, disability eligibility or educational certification.
Description
Gagné’s events of instruction provide a framework for organizing learning activities and support.
Gagné’s events of instruction provide a framework for organizing learning activities and support.1
This audit compares observed stages with your declared order and reports coverage and local order inversions.
When to use Gagne Nine Events of Instruction Sequence Lookup
Use this tool to review missing stages and local order inversions. Establish the learning task, observed evidence and applicable framework or policy edition.
How to use Gagne Nine Events of Instruction Sequence Lookup and understand its results
- Establish the learning task, observed evidence and applicable framework or policy edition.
- Enter callerObservedGagneStageIds, callerStageDeclaredOrder, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read missingDeclaredStageIds, orderInversionIndices. Inspect nested result fields where present, and review unknown records separately from known matches.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerObservedGagneStageIds | Caller observed gagne stage ids | list of string | Required |
| callerStageDeclaredOrder | Caller stage declared order | list of string | Required |
Require a nonempty unique nonblank declared stage list. An observed list can be empty; otherwise it must also be unique and nonblank. Every observed stage must belong to the declared list. Return declared stages absent from observations, in declared order, and zero-based observed positions whose declared rank is lower than the immediately previous observed rank. This is a local adjacent inversion check, not a count of all inverted pairs. Exact strings are matched without normalization.
missing=declared−observed; inversions={i≥1:declaredRank(observed_i)<declaredRank(observed_(i−1))} Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| missingDeclaredStageIds | Missing declared stage ids | list of string |
| orderInversionIndices | Order inversion indices; zero-based positions in the relevant supplied record or adjacent-pair list | list of number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The declared sequence and its source edition are supplied inputs. Coverage does not measure mastery, consent, teaching quality or learning effect. Observed stages must be unique, so record separate cycles separately when the activity revisits a stage.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Lists and matrices must be dense, without missing cells. Numeric lists allow at most 10000 entries; ordinary string lists allow at most 128 strings of 128 UTF-16 units each; numeric matrices allow at most 128 rows and 128 columns, subject to narrower requirements above.
