2. INTRODUCTION
An instructional analysis is a set of procedures applied to an instructional
goal, result in the identification of the relevant steps for performing a goal and
the subordinate skills required for a student to achieve goal.
Gagne’s domains of learning
Verbal information
Intellectual skills
Psychomotor skills
Attitudes
Cognitive strategies
4. DESCRIPTION
Step 1 Classify the goal statement according to the kind of
learning that will occur goal analysis fundamental steps.
Step 2 Identify and sequence the major step required to
perform the goal.
5. CONCEPT
The task for the learner is to store the information in memory
during the instruction and remember it for the test.
6. Intellectual Skills
Means expertise in certain field defined as skills that require the learner to
do some unique cognitive activity Classified in 4 common types:
Discrimination
Forming concepts
Applying rules
Solving problems
7. Verbal Information
First sample goals:
Given a list of cities, name the
state of which each is the
capital
Only one answer for each
question and only one basic
way to ask question.
No symbolic manipulation
No problem solving or rule
applying
Require the learner to provide
specific responses to relatively
specific question
Can be spotted by the types of
verbs that are used e.g: state
or list provide specific
information or describe
something
8. Psychomotor Skill
Involves the coordination of mental and physical activity
Characterized by learners executing physical actions, with or without
equipment, to achieve specific results
For purposes of instructional analysis, if the learner must learn to perform
new, valuable motor skills or performance depends on the skillful execution
of a physical skill
Setting up and operating a digital video camera
Equipment must be manipulated in a very specific way to successfully
produce a quality video image
9. Attitude
Attitudes are described as the tendency to make particular choices or
decision.
Instructional goals that focus on attitude can be viewed as influencing
learners to choose.
An acquired internal state that influence the choice of personal action
toward some class of things, persons or events.
Represent intrinsically motivated choices people make.
Long-term goal.
10. Cognitive Strategy
The metaprocesses that we use to manage our thinking about things
and manage our own learning.
Some strategies are as straight forward as mentally repeating the
name of new acquaintances several times while visualizing their faces.
A more complex cognitive strategy would be figuring out :
a) How to organize
b) Cluster
c) Remember
d) Apply new information
13. SUGGESTION FOR IDENTIFYING
STEPS WITHIN A GOAL
Describe for yourself the kind of
test item or assessment you
would use the to determine.
Think about steps that learner
would have to go through to
respond to your assessment or
test.
Test yourself: Observe yourself,
both in the physical and mental
sense, performing the goal.
Note each of steps you go
through and the decision you
have to make.
14. CHANGE AGENT
I am a change agent that lives in the future, not the present. Regardless of what is going on today, I have
a vision of what could or should be and uses that as the governing sense of my actions. To a certain extent, I
am dissatisfied with what I see around me, in favor of a much better vision of the future. I am fueled by
passion, and inspires passion in others, Change is hard work. It takes a lot of energy. Don't underestimate
this. I like to think about the amount of energy it takes to boil water. From 212 degree water to 212 degree
steam takes a lot more energy than heating water from 211 degrees to 212 degrees. In my experience,
without passion, it is very difficult indeed to muster up enough energy to assault the fortress of status quo that
seems to otherwise carry the day. I have a strong ability to self-motivate. There are many days where
everyone around me does not understand and will not offer props. I find it within myself to get up every day
and go to work and risk being misunderstood and misappreciated, knowing that the real validation may be far
in the future and may be claimed by someone else. I understand people and at the end of the day, change
is about people. If I change everything but the people, I doubt I'll be effective as a change agent. Change will
really "stick" when people embrace it. Therefore, change is part sales, part counseling and part
encouragement. It's all about people. At the end of the day, It is entrusted with a very powerful lever for
change - technology. With that lever, I can bring very powerful change to my job.
15. SUMMARY
The goal analysis process is begun only after we have a clear statement of
the instructional goal.
Involve 2 steps in goal analysis process; which is to classify the goal and
identify the major steps for learners to accomplish the goal into one of
Gagne’s (1985) domains of learning.
Specific problem that should look during evaluation is the sequence of
procedures or steps involved.
