Here we present selected 17 instructional design models (IDMs) from our previous study (Cajnko, M. M., Pavlin, M., Likozar, B., Vasilakis, C., Tsovou, S., Chaundry, S. R., Kapal, D., van Leeuwen, M., Miloshevski, V., Toman, Y., Deniz, B., Şensoy Mercan, N., Pavitola, L., Memmedova, S., Verdiyeva, L., Sarsar, F., & Andiç Çakır, Ö. (2024). Instructional Design Models [Data set]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10900874) that were quantitatively evaluated by 20 experts from different countries (Azerbaijan, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, and Türkiye) according to their suitability for the use in the engineering education. Evaluation was performed based on 12 statements, where each statement was quantitatively evaluated with values from 0 to 3 (0: Absolutely not suitable; 1: Partially suitable structure; 2: Moderately suitable structure; 3: Suitable structure), resulting in the total score of 36 for each model. The 12 statements were: 1. Suitability for engineering education; 2. Suitability for virtual laboratories studies; 3. Suitability for technology integration; 4. Suitability for project-based work; 5. Suitability for active learning strategies; 6. Suitability for students with any disability; 7. Suitability for interdisciplinary design; 8. Suitability for cross-cultural practices; 9. Suitability for student feedback; 10. Suitability for instructor feedback; 11. Suitability for assessment and evaluation; 12. Suitability for reusability. The preliminary score of each IDM was obtained by averaging the scores of 20 experts and the standard deviation was calculated. Next, the scores of each IDM that lied outside of the average score ± 2*standard deviation was eliminated and the new average value was calculated. This process was repeated until all the remaining scores lied withing average score ± 2*standard deviation. The final score of all IDMs is reported on the first page of this dataset, while scoring of each expert are reported on subsequent pages. The five best scored IDMs are Instructional design model for unified eLearning, Assure model, Agile instructional design, Kemp, Morrison, and Ross model – Effective instructional design model, and ADDIE. This created dataset has been added as a database to the VILLAGE project web page (https://www.thevillageproject.eu/idmodelsdatabase/)
