Gagne's work is all about condition of learning theory. It focuses on intentional or purposeful learning, which is a type of learning that occurs in school. Gagne believed that events in the environment influence the learning processprocess. once the learning outcomes are identified, an analysis of the condition that govern learning an remembering occur.

He claims that the presence of the performance does not make it posible to conclude that learning has occured; but instead, it is necessary to show that there has been change in performance. Therefore, the capability for exhibiting the performance before learning requires consideration as well as the capability that the capability that exist after learning.

Gagne also introduces the 9 events of instruction which are:

1. Gaining attention

2. informing learners of the objective

3.stimulating recall of prior knowledge

4. Presenting the stimulus

5. Providing learning guidance

6. Eliciting performance

7. Providing feedback

8. Assessing performance

9. Enhancing retention and transfer

This 9 summarises the learnin g theory of Gagne.
