[SOLVED] Planning and Analyzing
STEPS TO FOLLOW 1. Read Part II, Chapters 26, Mastering the Instructional Design Process by Rothwell, W.J. et al. to analyze and evaluate concepts and processes associated with planning and analyzing for instructional design (See RESOURCES below for the link). 2. View the Instructional Design: Needs Analysis support video (See RESOURCES below for the link). 3. View the Instructional Design: Working with SME support video (See RESOURCES below for the link). 4. Download the Data Planning Support Documents zipped folder on the FSO platform. Carefully examine these resources. 5. Continue to revise and refine your instructional design constraints (i.e, instructional objectives) and assure they align tightly with your learning outcomes using consistent terminology. If you have two outcomes then logically you will have two objectives or one objective per outcome. A prior completed week-2 student example is available for download. Make sure to leverage Bloom’s Taxonomy when writing outcomes and objectives. See resource attached. 7. Continue to refine the description of your target audience including their “interest” in the topic, and your instructional design constraints described in your objectives. You will then explain you instructional systems design approach, and describe the concepts and application of a theoretical frame to your planning 8. Add a new section heading entitled Data Planning following the Project Overview section of your training needs analysis document. In this new section, outline and describe your plans for gathering, analyzing, and reporting data to the project sponsor or organization based on the Instructional Design: Needs Analysis support video and your own research in the EBSCOhost databases. You must provide a minimum of two peer reviewed research findings to support your planning. 9. Develop a needs assessment instrument to administer to the target audience. Apply one quantitative method (e.g., survey) and one qualitative method (e.g. open-ended questions) to analyze the needs of your target audience, which in most cases will be the learners. Your data planning must include 5 Likert-scale type statements (quantitative) for each objective. In most cases you will have ten statements of agreement if you have two objectives. In addition, add 5 open-ended (qualitative) questions that begin with the words “what” or “how”. Avoid binary yes/no questions. These are often useless and do not offer space for the learner to fully describe their reply to your question. Use a free version of survey software such as Google Forms to develop and host your needs assessment instrument. Provide the link to your instrument in your data planning section allowing your classmates and instructor to evaluate and assess your instrument. 10. Develop your content outline in the content section of your training planning document. Your outlines should list all topics and activities you are planning for each objective. Put some thought into this and avoid rushing it. 11. Add a new section entitled SME Checklist below your content outlines and prepare interview questions for your subject matter expert, unless you are the subject matter expert. SMEs are typically asked to rate the quality of instructional planning and help guide the topics and planned activities, particularly when the topic is outside the instructional designer’s field and knowledge base. 12. Describe your Instructional Systems Design approach, which in this case is the ADDIE process. Back up this section with at least one peer reviewed reference from EBSCO. 13. Choose a learning theory that aligns with your needs and target audience. You must first name your chosen theory and describe the specific concepts of the theory; you must then explain how each of the concepts can be applied to the instructional approaches you are considering adopting for this particular target audience. Back up this section with at least one peer reviewed reference from EBSCO. 14. Post your work, save your file as Lastname_Firstname_5.2.2_Draft.doc and upload it to the discussion for your classmates and the instructor to review. Under your document post, provide a one paragraph rationale for your revision decisions based on your research findings from your two required peer- reviewed references. Make sure your references are in strict APA 6 format at the end of your document.
