WEEK 5 (chapter 4)

You should first define the instructional problem the problem statement needs or goals will provide the initial direction and breadth of your analysis and its also important to understand learners knowledge and background related to topic, it helps the designer determine the beginning point for the analysis as well as the depth and breadth of analysis.

There are 3 spesific techniques for analysing knowledge and tasks

A. First learn how to conduct a topic analysis

B.Than learn how to conduct a procedural analysis for use physcomotor tasks, job tasks, or cognitive sequences.

C.the thırd one ıs critical incident method.(For interpersonal skills)

After doing these task analysis they will identify the content structures

Six structures are often associated with a task analysis

1.FACTS (arrange the facts in structured pattern in order to not forget)

2.CONCEPTS (used fro grouping or similar ideas events)

3.PRINCIPLES and RULES (used to describe relationship between two concepts

4.PROCEDURES (in order to complete a task you should follow in an ordered sequence ,as you do while making a cake)

5.INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

 (verbal nonverbal skills while interacting with other people)

6.ATTITUDES

A.TOPIC ANALYSIS

It is used to identify the facts concepts and principles needed fort he instruction

After doing topic analysis you shoul analyze the tasks by identifyıng the steps required to complete them.

B.PROCEDURAL ANALYSIS

İt focuses on observable tasks informaion,while processing analysis focuses on cognitive or unobservable tasks.

In this process you can use a  flowchart to identify a spesific sequence of steps and key decision steps.They are also useful while helping SME s.Identfying missing compononets and alternative procedures are the initial analysis.

C .CRITICAL INCIDENT METHOD

It is based on 3 types of information

1.Where the conditions before,during and after incident?

2.What did you do?

3.How did this incident help you reach or prevent you from reachıng your goal?

This doesnt include a list of the steps or details of the topic , it is  well suited for analysing interpersonal skills and attitudes.

In the chapter it also says that;  serving as your own SME has two advantages:

1.İt makes easier to Access and schedule the meeting

2.you are already familiar with learners and problem they have with the task

the disadvantages of serving as your own SME is; you are familiar with the content and it can cause to skip steps and fail to identify important clues.

While conducting analysis you can make literatyre research,interwiev with  SME,you can model the analysis by explaining the content in the topic analysis or demonstrating steps in procedural analysis.You can record the information for use in developing the instruction(with notepads and index cards).

Keeping accurate record is also important.
