PREPARING A TASK ANALYSIS
Depending on your instructional problem you have defined you may need to conduct one or more of the following:
Topic Analysis – this is suited for defining cognitive knowledge
PREPARING A TASK ANALYSIS
Procedural Analysis – this is suited for use with psychomotor tasks, job tasks or cognitive sequences involving a series of steps.
Critical Incident Method – this is used for analyzing interpersonal skills (i.e. verbal and nonverbal such as body language)
STEP 1:
Define the instructional goal.
Instructional Goals usually express observable actions that we accept as evidence that learners have indeed acquired new knowledge, understanding and appreciation.
Goals can be a single sentence or a statement.
STEP 2:
List the key steps involved in completing or acquiring the required knowledge.
