Summary :

In instructional design, designers (or teachers) choose an optimum educational media (or educational system) adaptive to the learners' abilities. Although instructional design has been recognized as one of the important teachers' activities thus far, they left most of it to their individual subjectives. In order to perform the design in an objective way, a new mathematical method is proposed here to discriminate if the concerned educational system will be effective to learners on not. It is based on the use of linear discriminant analysis. However, when we apply it to the discrimination on education, the conventional method is not always appropriate to the field of education because many educational events are fuzzy, thus it requires refinement. From the point that the author regards the fuzziness proper to education, in order to aid teachers' instructional designing in an objective way, this paper presents a new logic which fixes linear discriminant function, the equations of error probability and Maharanobis' Generalized Distance considering the fuzziness.
