This document discusses planning for teaching nursing students at various levels. It covers topics like task analysis, types of task analysis including content analysis, job analysis and skill analysis. It also discusses purposes of task analysis, characteristics, methods of task analysis including hierarchical task analysis and cognitive task analysis. The document then covers competencies, what they are, types of competencies, how to develop competencies, benefits of competency-based systems for employers and employees, and advantages and disadvantages of competency-based education.
The general term Task Analysis can be applied to a variety of techniques for identifying and understanding the structure, the flow, and the attributes of tasks.
Task analysis identifies the actions and cognitive processes required for a user to complete a task or achieve a particular goal.
A detailed task analysis can be conducted to understand the current system and the information flows within it.
These information flows are important for the maintenance of the existing system and must be incorporated or substituted in any new system.
Task analysis makes it possible to design and allocate tasks appropriately within the new system.
The functions to be included within the system and the user interface can then be accurately specified.
This course is specially designed for healthcare professionals and will provide the knowledge, skills, and competencies required for delivering effective teaching using instructional design and educational technology. Participants will actively understand and apply the instructional design process, from analysis through evaluation, and engage in authentic instructional design activities in their subject area.

1. Why is learning task analysis important? How to do learning task analysis? What can the outcomes of the learning task analysis help us in instructional design? The importance of a learning task analysis
Task analysis for instructional design is an important process for it entails the analysis and articulation of the kind of learning that an instructor expects of his learners and thus he or she gets the professional command on how to perform his or her instructions. Precisely, learning task analysis helps the tutor or the instructional designer to: set right the instructional goals and objectives, break down the tasks so that the student can understand them better, establish and select the most appropriate instructional goals and objectives as well as setting the priority right for the tasks’ sequence. The instructional designer is also able to establish right the instructional activities and strategies to foster effective learning, select the appropriate learner and media environments.
How to carry out learning task analysis
In order for an instructor to carry out effective learning task analysis procedure, he ought to understand the rule of the game by having the requirements at his or her fingertips. Generally, a typical learning analysis can be performed as follows: the designer has to classify tasks in accordance to learning outcomes, generate an appropriate and an optimal task list, select the tasks, decompose them and organize them in an appropriate order.
The importance of the outcomes of the learning task analysis in instructional design
The outcomes of the learning task analysis, serve as the end point for self-evaluation by the designer based on the learners’ performance. This way, the design learns on the strength or weaknesses of the instruction; which in turn act as a future reference.
How do you know when you have gone deep enough in your subordinate task analysis?
From the authors Dick, Carey, and Carey (2009), the designer is able to establish whether he or she had done an in-depth subordinate task analysis by reflecting on the outcome of the learning skills as indicated by the learner’s capability. Good performance is indicative of a thorough such process. In addition to this, knowing if I have gone deep enough in my subordinate task analysis can also is assessed from how properly I carry out the procedural analysis, cluster analysis, analysis techniques for attitude goals, analysis techniques for combination domains, and entry skill. This has to be done comprehensively.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
3. Task analysis
Made up of two words task and analysis
Task may be defined as unit of performance which collectively
constitute a function
Task analysis is a process by which a task is broken down into
its component parts
Everyone use task analysis at some point, even if it is
unconsciously
A task analysis is a fundamental tool for teaching skill sit is
how specific life skill task will be introduced and taught
Good task analysis is including written list of discrete steps to
complete a task
A task analysis is not meant to be given to the child, but it's
used by the teacher
4. Definition
Task may be defined as unit of performance which
collectively constitute a function
In education, task analysis is related to analysis of
activities of course content of students and task is unit of
achievements in teaching to any content

5. Definition:
1. Task analysis is the analysis of how a task is accomplished, including a
detailed description of both manual and mental activities, task and element
durations, task frequency, task allocation, task complexity, environmental
conditions, necessary clothing and equipment, and any other unique factors
involved in or required for one or more people to perform a given task.

8. Purposes of Task Analysis
Instructional designers perform a task analysis in order
to:
Determine the instructional goals and objectives;
Define and describe in detail the tasks and sub-tasks that the
student will perform;
Specify the knowledge type (declarative, structural, and
procedural knowledge) that characterize a job or task;
Prioritize and sequence tasks;
9. Contd.
Determine instructional activities and strategies that foster learning;
Select appropriate media and learning environments;
Construct performance assessments and evaluation (Jonassen et al.,
1999).
Predict difficulties in performance
Evaluate systems against usability and/or functional requirements.
10. Characteristics of Task Analysis
Description of learning activities
Identification of desired behavior
Identification of appropriate situations and techniques of motivation
Developing criterion test for measuring the desired behavioral change
11. Types of task analysis
In general:-
• Cognitive Task Analysis (cognitive activity, such as decision-making, problem-solving,
memory, attention and judgement.)
• Hierarchical Task Analysis (high-level task is decomposed into a hierarchy of subtasks)
In Education (Teaching Learning Process):-
• Content Analysis (content readiness) •
• Job Analysis (types of work like teaching, facilitator etc)
• Skill Analysis (micro-teaching, teaching aids, presentation etc) There are several types of
task analysis but among the most common techniques used are:
9/19/2022
Faiza Hameed 11
16. Cognitive Task Analysis
Inform the design process through application of cognitive theories
Some task, actions are cognitive –
Examples
Decide which button to press
Recall previously stored knowledge from memory
Compare two objects
Model the internal representation and processing that occurs for the
purpose of designing tasks that can be undertaken more effectively by
humans
17. Modelling Procedural Knowledge
“How to do it” knowledge
Focuses on task to action mapping
GOMS (Goals, Operations, Methods, Selection Rules) is most famous
approach.
18. Content Analysis
It is topic analysis, in which the subject matter is analyzed into subtopics and
subtopics into elements, and these are arranged into a logical sequence .
Content analysis is purely educational and intellectual activity.
Example, nursing administration-elements of teaching administration
Job Analysis:
It is concerned with tasks which are related to some professional and
social activity. It involves psychomotor activities.
Example : Teachers, doctors and nurses tasks etc.
19. How to Perform a Task Analysis?
According to Jonassen, the task analysis process consists of five distinct functions:
Classifying tasks according to learning outcomes –
Inventorying tasks – identifying tasks or generating a list of tasks
Selecting tasks – prioritizing tasks and choosing those that are more feasible and
appropriate if there is an abundance of tasks to train.
Decomposing tasks – identifying and describing the components of the tasks, goals,
or objectives.
Sequencing tasks and sub-tasks – defining the sequence in which instruction should
occur that will best facilitate learning.
20. Format of Task Analysis
There are different formats to use based on the type of learning outcome.
The most prevalent tasks are:
Procedural Task Analysis (for procedural skills)
Hierarchical or Prerequisite Analysis (for intellectual skills)
Information Processing Analysis (for procedural and cognitive tasks)
Cluster Analysis (for verbal information skills)
Conceptual Graph analysis (for concepts)
21. Methods
Task Decomposition
The aim of ‘high level task decomposition’ is to decompose the high level tasks
and break them down into their constituent subtasks and operations. This will
show an overall structure of the main user tasks.
At a lower level it may be desirable to show the task flows, decision processes
and even screen layouts (see task flow analysis, below)
The process of task decomposition is best represented as a structure chart
(similar to that used in Hierarchical Task Analysis).
This shows the sequencing of activities by ordering them from left to right. In
order to break down a task, the question should be asked ‘how is this task
done?’.
If a sub-task is identified at a lower level, it is possible to build up the structure
by asking ‘why is this done?’.
22. Stages of Task Decomposition
1. Identify the task to be analyzed.
2. Break this down into between 4 and 8 subtasks. These subtasks should be
specified in terms of objectives and, between them, should cover the whole
area of interest.
3. Decide upon the level of detail into which to decompose. Making a conscious
decision at this stage will ensure that all the subtask decompositions are
treated consistently.
4. Continue the decomposition process, ensuring that the decompositions and
numbering are consistent.
5. Present the analysis to someone else who has not been involved in the
decomposition but who knows the tasks well enough to check for consistency.
23. Identification of Nursing Situations
Taba’s Method Of Task Analysis
Step 1: Concept Formation
This involves organizing unorganized information by analysis
1. Enumerate and listing
2. Identifying common properties, abstracting
3. Labelling and categorizing , determining and hierarchical order of item.
Step 2: Interpretation of data
This involves forming generalization of using inductive reasoning by:
1. Identifying points , examining similar aspects of selected topics.
2. Explaining items of identified information, comparing and contrasting identifying cause
and effect relationships.
3. Forming inferences , implications or extrapolations.
24. Contd.
Step 3: Application of principles and facts
This involves the process of deductive reasoning by:
1. Predictive consequences , hypothesizing.
2. Explaining and/or supporting the predictions or hypotheses.
3. Verifying the prediction or hypotheses.
Purposes of Taba’s Approach.
It help’s learner form concepts of nursing.
It encourages then in compare data and make inferences based on these data.
The learner is guided in predicting consequence based on results of research
or on principles previously develop in forming information.
25. Adaptations of Taba’s model to Nursing
Education
Example
Guides the student to take any of the steps for which he is at the moment best
prepared.
Increases the possibility of his learning success by focusing on activities that are
relevant,
Facilitates the acquisition of gradually high levels of learning creates an awareness
of progress among the class.
26.
27. Summary
Task analysis describes behaviors at three levels: goals, tasks, actions
Tasks are usually viewed in terms of a hierarchical decomposition of tasks into
subtasks.
HTA and related techniques focus on what happens, rather than on what should
happen.
Cognitive task analysis techniques aim to describe some aspect of the cognitive
characteristics of users’ tasks.
Some methods (such as GOMS) concentrate on users’ procedural or “how-to-do-
it” knowledge.
Other methods focus on task knowledge.
29. Competency
DEFINITION
1. Competence is the ability of an individual to do a job properly. A competency
is a set of defined behaviors that provide a structured guide enabling the
identification, evaluation and development of the behaviors in individual
employees.
Wikipedia
2. A “competency” is an expected level of performance that results from an
integration of knowledge, skills, abilities, and judgment.

36. Types of Competencies
Organizational competencies: The mission, vision, values, culture and core
competencies of the organization that sets the tone and/or context in which the
work of the organization is carried out
(Examples customer-driven, risk taking and cutting edge). How we treat the
patient is part of the patient's treatment.
Core competencies: Capabilities and/or technical expertise unique to an
organization, i.e., core competencies differentiate an organization from its
competition
Examples the technologies, methodologies, strategies or processes of the
organization that create competitive advantage in the marketplace). An
organizational core competency is an organization’s strategic strength.
Technical competencies: Depending on the position, both technical and
performance capabilities should be weighed carefully as employment decisions
are made. For example, organizations that tend to hire or promote solely on the
basis of technical skills,
Examples an increase in performance-related issues, systems software designs
versus relationship management skills.
37. Contd.
Behavioral competencies: Individual performance competencies are more
specific than organizational competencies and capabilities.
As such, it is important that they be defined in a measurable behavioral
context in order to validate applicability and the degree of expertise (e.g.
development of talent)
38. Contd.
Functional competencies: Functional competencies are job-specific
competencies that drive proven high-performance, quality results for a given
position. They are often technical or operational in nature
Example "backing up a database" is a functional competency).
Management competencies: Management competencies identify the specific
attributes and capabilities that illustrate an individual’s management
potential.
Unlike leadership characteristics, management characteristics can be learned
and developed with the proper training and resources.
Competencies in this category should demonstrate pertinent behaviors for
effective management to be effective.
39.
40.
41. Core competency
DEFINITION
A core competency is a concept in management theory introduced by, C.
K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel. It can be defined as "a harmonized
combination of multiple resources and skills that distinguish a firm in the
marketplace".
Core competencies fulfill three criteria:
Provides potential access to a wide variety of markets.
Should make a significant contribution to the perceived customer benefits
of the end product.
Difficult to imitate by competitors.
42.
43. How you Develop Competencies?
Defining which competencies are necessary for success in your
organization can help you do the following:
Ensure that your people demonstrate sufficient expertise.
Recruit and select new staff more effectively.
Evaluate performance more effectively.
Identify skill and competency gaps more efficiently.
Provide more customized training and professional development.
Plan sufficiently for succession.
Make change management processes work more efficiently.
44. Principles for developing competencies
1. Involve the people doing the work –
To understand a role fully, you have to go to the source – the person doing the
job – as well as getting a variety of other inputs into what makes someone
successful in that job.
2. Communicate –
People tend to get nervous about performance issues.
Let them know why you're developing the framework, how it will be created,
and how you'll use it.
The more you communicate in advance, the easier your implementation will
be.
3. Use relevant competencies – Ensure that the competencies you include apply
to all roles covered by the framework to cover the whole organization.
However, a framework covering management roles would almost certainly
involve the financial management competency.
45. Developing the Framework
Four main steps in the competency framework development process.
Step 1: Prepare
Define the purpose
Create a competency framework team
Step 2: Collect Information
Observe
Interview people
Create a questionnaire
Analyze the work
46. Contd.
Step 3: Build the Framework
Group the statements
Create subgroups
Refine the subgroups
Identify and name the competencies
Validate and revise the competencies as necessary
47. Contd.
Step 4: Implement
Link to business objectives
Reward the competencies
Provide coaching and training
Keep it simple
Communicate
48.

into competencies
TALK or ACTIVITY STANDARD COMPETENCY
Sterilize Equipment Without bacteria found
on culture
Sterilize equipment so that bacteria
will not be found on culture

measles and rubella
50. Benefits of a Competency-Based System for
Employers
Ensures that organization-funded training and professional development activities
are cost-effective, goal-oriented and productive
Enables employees to achieve a high level of competence in an efficient manner
Records the employee’s acquisition of the skills, knowledge, safety and other
procedures relating to each task
Reduces cost overruns caused by poor performance or miscommunication of job
expectations
Improves communication between employee and management
Increases internal employee mobility, providing the organization with greater
ability scale and flex as needed
Establishes a framework for constructive feedback by management at scheduled
training and performance appraisal intervals
Clarifies job standards for performance appraisals
Outlines employee development and promotional paths within the organization
51. Benefits of a Competency-Based System for
Employees
Sets clear performance expectations for employees, enabling them to make
better decisions and work more effectively
Gives employees insight into the overall strategy of their team, department,
and organization, leading to greater engagement and motivation
Enables employees to be more proactive beyond their individual roles, by
learning additional competencies that are valued by the organization
Provides clear direction for learning new job skills
Offers a reference resource for day-to-day requirements
Increases the potential for job satisfaction
Provides a mechanism for the recognition of employees’ abilities
Ensures that individual professional development and training milestones are
recorded and acknowledged by the organization
52. Advantages of Competency-Based
Education :
Individualized path to learning and completing a degree.
Based on mastery not credit hour.
Affordable and flexible for working adult students.
Use of multiple instructional materials/methods to match different learning
styles and preferences.
Allows one to skip a course and just take assessment if they have
knowledge/work experience on the subject (so prior learning assessment is
built in).
Students can move through quickly if they prefer and shorten graduation
time.
Faculty can provide timely and higher quality feedback as they have more
without teaching or everyone submitting assignments at same time.
53. Disadvantages:
Finding a way to standardize the definitions of competencies and develop
reliable assessments.
Uncertainty about scaling to large universities especially due to the fact that
this type of education challenges the traditional credit hour (and the revenue
associated with it).
Traditional students and unmotivated students may not benefit as much as
adult students.
55. What is a competency Model?
1. Definition
A competency model is a collection of competencies that together define
successful performance in a particular work setting.
Competency models are the foundation for important human resource
functions such as recruitment and hiring, training and development, and
performance management.
Competency models can be developed for specific jobs, job groups,
organizations, occupations, or industries.
2. Definition
A competency model is a framework for organizing a collection of observable
skills, behaviors, and attitudes that impact the quality of work that people
do.
It describes what people need to know and be able to do in order to execute
on their responsibilities effectively.
56. Elements of a competency Model
1. Competency names and detailed definitions. For example, a competency model
could include a competency called "Teamwork" defined as:
2. Establishing constructive and solid interpersonal relationships;
3. Treating others with courtesy, tact, and respect;
4. Working effectively with others, regardless of organizational level, background,
gender, race, or ethnicity;
5. Working to resolve disagreements, attempting to persuade others and reach
agreements;
6. Abiding by and supporting group decisions; and
7. Facilitating team interaction and maintaining focus on group goals.
57. Cont.
8. Descriptions of activities or behavior associated with each competency. For
example, the following behaviors could be associated with the competency
"Teamwork":
9. Handling differences in work styles effectively when working with coworkers,
10.Capitalizing on strengths of others on a team to get work done,
11.Anticipating potential conflicts and addressing them directly and effectively,
12.Motivating others to contribute opinions and suggestions, and
13.Demonstrating a personal commitment to group goals.
59. Miller’s Pyramid/Prism of Clinical Competence
Psychologist George Miller proposed a framework for assessing levels of clinical competence back in 1990.
It is only in the “does” triangle that the Nurses
Doctors and allied health professionals truly perform
60. Contd.
Knows : knows some knowledge
Knows how: knows how to apply that knowledge
Shows: shows how to apply that knowledge
Does: actually applies that knowledge in practise
In the pyramid, the lower two levels only test cognition (or knowledge) and
this is the area where inexperienced trainees (or novices) usually sit:
Example, they either ‘know’ something about a mental state examination or
they ‘know how’ to do a mental state examination.
61. Contd.
The upper two levels test behaviour: can they apply what they know into practise?
Going back to the previous example: can they ‘show’ how to do a mental state
examination or do they actually ‘do’ a mental state examination in practise?
Research shows that the cognition zone (‘knows’ or ‘knows how’) correlates poorly
with the behaviour zone (‘shows’ or ‘does’):
A trainee who knows how to do something doesn’t necessarily mean that they will do
that in daily practise. But it’s important that trainees do what they know in practise
otherwise there’s no point learning it
If you want such trainees to apply their learning into real daily life (as opposed to it
lying dormant in their brains) you need to use methods that will encourage them to
progress through the ‘shows’ and ‘does’ zones (behaviour).
62. Contd.
For the ‘shows’ zone this often involves artificial simulation exercises like
them demonstrating it to you or via OSCEs and patient simulations. The
‘does’ zone invariably involves looking at what happens in the real work place
environment
Example: Observing them or using video recordings of real consultations.
Originally, Miller represented his framework as a 2 dimensional pyramid.
We’ve adapted it to include the knowledge, skills and attitudes domains of
learning and thus called it ‘Miller’s Prism’.
Dent and Harden have added a 5th level called ‘Mastery’ that sits above
‘Does’ to make the distinction between one who can perform a skill with
competence to one who can perform it in a expert or masterful way.
63. How to Use This Model
Traditionally, the model has been used to match assessment methods to the
competency being tested.
If you wanted to see how good a trainee is at ‘examination of the knee’,
offering multiple choice questions might demonstrate they know about it but
not that they can actually do it.
To test the latter the assessment method of choice might include an OSCE
style station to examine the knee or better still, direct observation in the
work place itself.
Remember, trainees can get away with ‘brushing up’ their knowledge and
skills before an MCQ/essay type exam (which then, as we all know, fades
after that exam).
The model can help you formulate objectives for a particular
teaching/learning session: by forcing you to think carefully about what you
are trying to achieve.
64. Contd.
The Examples of objectives and the level of Miller’s prism :
No 1: Educational Session on Cardiac Risk
Understanding what is meant by cardiac risk and why it’s important (KNOWS)
Knowing what to do if the risk is too high (KNOWS HOW)
Being able to demonstrate the use of the cardiac risk calculator (SHOWS)
In a similar way you can use it to help design a course programme. For instance,
if you wanted to do a half day workshop on ‘shoulder joint injections’, you could
design an instructional session reflecting some of the levels of Miller’s prism:
No 2: Workshop “Intra Muscular Injection on Deltoid Muscles”
9-9.30am Revisiting the Anatomy of the Deltoid Muscles (KNOWS)
9.30-10am Pitfalls to remember (KNOWS)
10 – 10.30 Deltoid Muscle Injection Algorithm (KNOWS HOW)
10.30-11am Break
11-1230 Practising the technique on dummies (SHOWS)
1230-2pm Lunch
65. Contd.
If you want to test at the ‘does’ level you would have to consider practical
work-place based sessions. But there might be other methods too like a
review of video consultations with real patients (if your objective was to look
at communication skills).
For those trainees in their early stages, you might concentrate on the basic
building-block knowledge domain like: why it is important to ascertain
patient’s ideas, concerns and expectations and what the evidence says
(KNOWS).
66. Contd.
For those more experience (or the same trainee but later on) you might
consider how they might actually elicit ideas, concerns and expectations: what
phrases they might use (KNOWS HOW).
When they’re even more experienced, then you might look at in vivo
performance like reviewing videos of actual consultations with patient (DOES)
