Chapter 3 Conducting A Goal Analysis Flashcards
Define INSTRUCTIONAL ANALYSIS:
A set of procedures that when applied to an instructional goal, identifies the relevant steps for performing the goal and the subordinate skills required to achieve the goal
Define SUBORDINATE SKILLS:
A skill that must be achieved in order to learn some higher level skill
What are the 2 fundamental steps in goal analysis?
- Classify the goal statement according to the kind of learning that will occur
- Identify and sequence the major steps required to achieve a goal or major clusters of information learners must recall (for verbal information)
Define DOMAINS OF LEARNING:
Different categories of learning
Define VERBAL INFORMATION GOALS:
Requires the learners to provide specific responses to relatively specific questions
How do you spot a verbal information goal?
Learner must “state”, “list” or “describe”
Define INTELLECTUAL SKILL:
A problem solving task; skills that require the learner to do some unique cognitive activity
What are the four most common intellectual skills?
- Making discriminations
- Forming concepts
- Applying rules
- Solving problems
Define DISCRIMINATIONS:
Simple low-level learning by which we know whether things are the same or different.
Define LEARNING CONCEPT:
Being able to identify examples as being members of a certain classification.
Define PRODUCE RULES:
The combination of concepts.
Define PROBLEM SOLVING:
(2 types ill and well structured) highest level of learning
Define WELL STRUCTURED PROBLEM SOLVING:
Usually considered to be an application problem. The learner is asked to apply concepts and rules in order to solve it
Define ILL STRUCTURED PROBLEM SOLVING:
Not all the data required for a solution are available to the learner or the nature of the goal is not clear
Define PSYCHOMOTOR SKILLS:
Learners executing physical actions, with or without equipment to achieve specified results
Define ATTITUDINAL GOAL:
The tendency to make particular choices or decisions
How do you identify an attitudinal goal?
Determine if the learner will make a choice or if the goal indicates the direction in which the decision is to be influenced
Define COGNITIVE STRATEGIES:
Meta processes that we use to manage our thinking about things and manage our own learning
What is the best technique for analyzing a goal?
Describe in step-by-step fashion, exactly what a person would be doing when performing the goal
Define GOAL ANALYSIS:
The visual display of the specific steps the learner would do when performing the instructional goal
How is a decision represented on a goal analysis?
With a diamond and the alternate decision paths shown leading from the diamond (there must b two different skills to be learned/performed based on the outcome)
What do you do if you run out of space on the goal analysis?
Use a circle after the last box on the line to indicate the point where the process breaks and then reconnects to the boxes after an identical letter circle
What does a dotted line mean on a goal analysis?
When the goal is being performed it is possible to go back to any number of earlier steps and come forward through the sequence again
What is the best sequence for informational skills?
Chronological when it can be identified when no natural order exists sequence based on relationships among them
Goal analysis for intellectual and psychomotor skills is…
An analysis of the steps to be performed
Goal analysis for verbal information is…
A list of major topics to be learned
