Abstract

More than half of college students who reported experiencing intimate partner violence said it occurred in college, and the majority of college students in abusive relationships failed to realize that they were in one because they did not know how to identify abuse (Knowledge Networks, 2011). To address this issue, an instructional module was developed to teach college students how to identify healthy, unhealthy, and abusive dating relationships. Guiding the design is Horton’s (2012) Absorb, Do, and Connect model, which combines direct and indirect instruction. The instructional module included scenario-based activities for practice, as well as a group discussion board to provide an opportunity for reflection. Results from 17 college students (n = 17) indicated that the instruction was effective, with 91 percent meeting the learning objectives. The instruction’s greatest strengths were its content, level of engagement, and learning effectiveness, particularly with new knowledge about unhealthy relationships. However, more work is needed to address the visual appeal and download speed of the practice activities.
