to Task Analysis (2:20)
Learning Objectives
Learners will:
-
State the relationship between needs analysis and task
analysis.
-
Distinguish between the types of task analyses that
are used for defining content.
-
Identify sources of information for task data
-
Demonstrate knowledge of the task analysis process by
completing analysis activities and assignments.
Readings
-
Morrison, Ross,
and Kemp, Chapter 4.
Assignments
-
Team
activity: To familiarize yourselves with the task analysis
process, you will analyze the tasks associated with planning a
birthday party for about 10 people. By analyzing familiar tasks,
you will be able to focus on the task analysis process and not have to
struggle with unfamiliar content. You'll begin by identifying
the 3-4 major duties to be done to get ready for the party. Then,
break each of major duties down into 3-4 tasks and subtasks.
Finally, identify the inputs, actions, and outputs for at least one
task. Email your work to me. Sample
-
Because your
needs analysis suggests an instructional solution, and with the
characteristics of the learners and the learning context in hand, you
are ready to identify the tasks involved in the instruction.
Start with general tasks and then divide them into subtasks. Use
the Morrison, et, al., process to guide your delineation of
tasks. These tasks will be part of design document #1 you will
turn in in a couple of weeks. Task identification is also the
next step to writing instructional objectives.
