- 2. Need’s Analysis There are 4 phases to a Need’s assessment that a teacher should go through. Phase 1: Planning Defining the learner and deciding what type of data to collect about them. Phase 2: Collecting Data Collect data from your learners Phase 3: Analyzing the Data Identification of needs (normative, comparative, felt, expressed, and anticipated) Phase 4: Preparing final report
- 3. Task Analysis Is the systematic process used by Instructional Designers to determine what the learner needs to learn. Content analysis Subject matter analysis Learning task analysis
- 4. Dick, Carey and Carey (2009) They define task analysis as, “the process of identifying the skills and knowledge that should be included in the instruction. This makes me think of the academic standards we as teachers must meet. They ask two questions: What exactly would learners be doing if they were demonstrating that they already could perform the goal? What are the types of knowledge learners need to know to meet this goal? (the perquisites).
- 5. Learner Analysis The idea here is that we as instructors must understand where are learners are come from and how they learn. We must know our learners strengths and weaknesses, therefore we must evaluate them to find out where they stand on what is about to be taught.
- 6. Learning Styles We all know about the many different learning styles but did you know that research does little to support learning styles. It’s true that people do learn better but its more of a preference, and sometimes our preferred way of learning isn’t really the best way we can learn.
- 7. Conclusion This unit has been very helpful for me because as a future teacher it is highly important for me to be able to identify how each of my students learn and incorporate that into daily lessons. I must also determine whether or not they already know the material being covered. Much of this I already knew but this has helped reinforce what I know.
