Abstract
This chapter seeks to investigate grounds for the application and adaptation of general instructional models in specific domains and professions, and for the generation of domain-specific instructional methods using the examples of reading, mathematics, science, law, and medicine. It does so by first investigating the specific teaching and learning difficulties of those domains by showing and analyzing domain- and profession-specific solutions of these problems. The chapter consists of a general analysis of the problems with general instructional design models that have to be solved before they can be used in specific domains, the requirements for the use of these models, and the effects of internal and external pressures for change. The chapter is completed by five contributions from these domains.
