This dissertation addresses the theory–practice gap in instructional design (ID) by proposing a universal definition and its establishment as a professional field. A case study explores instructional designers’ roles in response to digital transformation, while a systematic literature review standardizes ID terminology. Based on the findings, six premises form the foundation of an ID definition. Complementing this, a professional profile and an ID project plan aim to align theory with practice and improve stakeholder collaboration.
