Morphology

instructional = instruction (transparent) = struct + ion + al

The adjective is formed regularly from 'instruction' with the suffix '-al', and its meaning is directly related to teaching or instruction.

Etymology

Instructional comes from instruct, which itself comes from an old part meaning 'to build' or 'arrange' and is the same idea behind structure and construct. So something instructional is like 'built' to teach — made to help you learn.
