IntroductionMichael Crichton argued, "If you do not know history, then you do not know anything. You are a leaf that does not know it is part of a tree" (Crichton, 1999, p. 73). This is particularly true in the field of Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) because the field is broad (Wilson, 2012) and often described as a "meta" field (Hill et al., 2004) embedded in many other disciplines. Because the field is broad and meta, IDT scholars are dispersed among many other disciplines and departments as broad as psychology, learning sciences, instructional systems, curriculum development and educational technology (ibid.). Because IDT scholars are dispersed, so is our scholarship, making it difficult to understand and fully grasp the entirety of the field, and who the key scholars, ideas, questions and methods are that lead this discipline.In this paper, we build upon previous efforts to define the field by its scholarship through a summary of the key authors, papers, and topics garnered from a broader and more inclusive scholarship pool than ever used previously. Using an automated script, we report aggregated findings from 65 of the top IDT journals available in the Scopus database. This data, freely available to subscribing institutions, is a rich pool of data from which to better understand, in the words of Crichton, what our recent history is as a field and how we all, as leaves, contribute to the tree of IDT scholarship. AbstractUsing the online Scopus database, we retrieved all instructional design and technology (IDT) scholarship between 2007 and 2017 across 65 journals. In this paper, we analyzed the research and trends in this corpus of IDT scholarship and investigated the top cited papers, keywords, authors, publishing countries and publishing universities. We also analyzed the effect of collaboration on citation numbers as well as how journal citation metrics differ across databases (eg, Scopus, Google Scholar). The field of IDT is broad and diverse, and this paper plays an important role in providing a glance into the past to understand scholarship trends. Knowing our history can help us reassess where we should go moving forward as the field continues to grow in the 21st century.Research trends in instructional design and technology journals 79 research database, approval was not needed from an institutional ethics committee.

“…This is a research and development done in State Vocational High School 1 Malang (SMK Negeri 1 Malang). For the development model, it uses the model of ADDIE (West, Thomas, Bodily, Wright, & Borup, 2017) which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (Branch, 2009). The first step was analysis,or the step to analyze the development of the textbook suited to the needs of the targets.…”

This article discusses learning innovations for developing decent life-based textbooks in Vocational High Schools. The study produced a product in the form of a Pancasila and Citizenship Education textbook integrated with character values. This book was developed based on the characteristics of Vocational High School students, the character education content and applicable learning curriculum. The assessment of media experts, design and learning experts shows this learning book is valid. The results of trials on students indicate that this learning book can be used to improve the quality of learning, but a number of dimensions of special practicality need to be considered in the next testing phase.

Most universities worldwide had to temporarily interrupt face-to-face education and start Emergency Distance Education (EDE) due to the COVID-19 outbreak. It is useful to identify the difficulties and problems that universities faced in this process in order that they can carry out a similar process more efficiently in the future. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct an in vivo examination of EDE from the institutional perspective within the scope of universities during the pandemic period in Turkey. To this end, all state university websites were searched according to 27 criteria which were determined to set out the EDE readiness status of universities. The results revealed that higher education institutions had difficulty in providing sufficient pedagogical and technical guidance to academic staff due to the rapid transition. With respect to students, distance course contents, activities and announcements were not equitably accessible for students from foreign countries and those with disabilities owing to the lack of information and communications technology (ICT) tools, internet connection, translation, etc. A remarkable number of higher education institutions preferred the features of distance education tools such as cost, familiarity, stability, availability of technical support, and short preparation time rather than their pedagogical affordances.
