Competency 3: Specify the instructional design process Flashcards
What is the best way to address a performance problem?
Analysis
What is an FEA limited to?
FEAs are limited to specific jobs, specialties, or activities.
They are geared towards individual performance.
What is the purpose of analysis?
The purpose of analysis is to determine training requirements that will be used for designing and developing
Why does the CG do analysis?
The CG does analysis because it will be informative and give comprehensive data, such as what factors affect performance. An analysis will prevent us from plunging ahead and creating unnecessary solutions and making bad decisions.
Analysis prevents the CG from believing that training will always be the answer and will help provide cost-effective solutions.
Analysis gives data and data drives the decisions.
Analysis is critical to the HPT success and reduces or eliminates requirements, risks and redundancy.
What are the analysis methods?
Force Com Job Training SOP
Front End Analysis (FEA) Cost Analysis (CA) Job Task Analysis (JTA) Training Requirement Analysis (TRA) Strategic Needs Assessment (SNA) Occupational Analysis (OA)
What does RSVP mean to you?
They are the HPT principles. Result (focused), System (thinking), Value(driven), Partnership
Focused on result or outcome
Systems approach - looks at the big picture; What system do we use? What do we need?
Analysis is only conducted based on validated needs and is all data driven.
All solutions are supported by findings
What is analysis?
Taking a whole and breaking it down to study
What is ADDIE?
Analysis Design Development Implement Evaluate
What is happening at the analysis phase?
A performance gap has been identified.
The gap will be analyzed for training intervention.
Identify the end goal of training, the performance we’re trying to effect.
What are the three sub-categories of Cost analysis?
A cost analysis is a CG requirement that must be completed before it provides resources for a project. All CA will provide a first year cost as well as a lifecycle cost. Most analysis efforts in the CG will be a CCA.
Conducted when you already have dollar figures.
Decisions are based on bottom line - MONEY
ROI - Return on Investment
CCA - Cost Comparison Analysis
CBA-cost benefit analysis
Describe the task analysis process.
Identify the optimal or desired performance requirements for a job or job specialty.
What does task (behavior) analysis define?
The definitions are as follows:
Conditions - Circumstances under which a task is performed
Behaviors - How each task is actually performed
Standards- How each task must be performed
What is job task analysis?
JTA breaks down performance at the job level. It is a detailed study to find out what the master performers are doing and how they do it.
- Determine specific requirements for a job
- Step by step performance of a competent worker
- This drives the SK requirements which in turn drives the PO, evaluation criteria and course content.
JTA may define the work to be done to produce major outputs.
What is occupational analysis?
What is Occupational Analysis?
1. OA is an opportunity for all rating members submit feedback about their job concerns, conditions and opinions about the rate.
2. OA measures EPQs of a rate
OA takes a snapshot through surveys of an rate’s world of work (every 3 years)
4. Training and qualifications reflect the true needs of the field.
What is Front End Analysis?
Focuses on the performer and performance in the field. Defines the accomplished performer (AP) which is best of the best.
FEA identifies the SK of top performers.
FEA report includes required skills that are used to design training. If FEA is completed, ABCD is used.
What is a SNA? (4)
- A formal, data-driven, systematic process
- Identifies gaps between current and desired conditions
- This helps to determine gaps at the unit or organizational level
- Examines internal and external factors that determine performance.
Why does analysis need to be complete and accurate?
Output for evaluation is the input for design.
What are the five parts of task analysis?
P1 - Develop data collection plan- establishes strategy
P2 - Develop job task inventory - will define the specific job/job specialty performance
P3- Collect task details- identify and record specific performance information for each task
P4- Determine task priorities -prioritize tasks depending on relevance, eliminate the irrelevant tasks
P5 - Create task performance map - required for the complicated tasks, such as tasks with many decisions
What is a training requirements analysis?
TRA is less complex and takes less time.
Sometimes a situation does not require a detailed and thorough examination of everything that influences the work, the worker and the workplace. So we examine work-site performance by developing a task inventory and compare those results to GOTS, COTS or an existing CG curriculum.
Asks the question, is training already in place? What is the best way to deliver training? Is it through COTS, GOTS or CG curriculum?
Explain the cost comparative analysis.
CCA calculates cost and benefits and compares the results of each training option.
A CCA will gives best bang for the buck.
Compare a new training program to the current training program.
Conduct a CCA when you need dollar amount.
Explain cost benefit analysis.
All CBA’s have a short “shelf life.” As environment and technology advances in the workplace the need to review and revise an analysis becomes imperative. Any analysis over 1 year old should be reevaluated.
How do you make sure training requirements are accurate?
- Job and task inventory-
- Task (behavior) analysis -
- Performance support decisions -
- Target audience profile -
- Instructor profile -
- Course parameters and constraints -
When moving from job task analysis to training requirements analysis, how do you ensure that the training requirements are accurate: JTPTAPIC
- Job and task inventory- reflects the work
- Task (behavior) analysis - reflects the performance
- Performance support decisions - reflects the training.
- Target audience profile - reflects characteristics (entry level/SK) The workers in which the training will influence.
- Instructor profile - reflects on subject matter, skill and knowledge requirements of an instructor.
- Course parameters and constraints - barriers, limitations, factors that may influence course.
What is a task?
A task is a behavior that is selected for training and is converted to a performance objective (PO).
A task has a beginning and end-point as described by the steps.
A series of actions that lead to a meaningful outcome.
What will a JTA require you to have?
Inputs
Extant data - manuals, instructions, policy regulations, forms, facts figures and records
Outputs: documents real world optimal performance.
Explain the JTA and DIF.
CG filters the data from the JTA using the Difficulty, Importance and Frequency (DIF) model. TRACENs are able to determine which tasks should be selected for formal training, job aided (with or without training) and which tasks would be for OJT.
A TRA has 3 elements. What are they? JCC
Job task inventory.
Comparison of existing CG courses to align the PO with the performance tasks.
A cost comparison of competing delivery sources to determine which delivery source is the best match.
What are the five phases of an SNA?
Performance Analysis Root Cause Analysis Intervention Selection Implementation Evaluation
Who are the prime customers for OA data?
CG Rating Force Master Chiefs
