Blog Assignement 1: Analysis




Since the last time we spoke, we have learned about the first step in the ADDIE Model- Analysis stage. This is the stage where the  instructional objectives and goals are developed  by the teacher with the students in mind. The teacher begins to look at what the requirements are, the needs of the students, what tasks are involved, and if the students are capable of finishing the tasks. This is why it is called the analysis step because all areas of the course have to be analyzed before the students begin the first day of class. Here are some of the questions that the teacher has to ask while analyzing:
* Who is the audience and their characteristics?
* Identify the new behavioral outcome?
* What types of learning constraints exist?
* What are the delivery options?
* What are the online pedagogical considerations?
* What is the timeline for project completion?

I think that when designing a course that the analysis stage is the most important stage because the teacher has to look at all aspects of the class and students to make sure every area is covered.

The concern that I have is how do you know about each of your children, the needs they have , and what they are capable of doing before you meet them on the first day of class. I guess you make sure the objectives and goals will meet the standards to the grade level and then after meeting the students and finding out about each one then you can make it work to meet the needs of the students in the class room.

  1. Hi!

    I believe the Analysis stage is also the most important stage of the Addie Model. This is where teachers are required to brain-storm about each individual student to make the lessons adaptable to their individuality. This seems very difficult.

    I would assume that with your concern you would make a lesson plan that would be broad enough for all the students and day by day, you would adapt that lesson to the students as you get to know them, just like you said. Thats the only idea I have. :) That has always been one of my concerns also!

  2. I had the same concern when the requirement asks for you to analysis before you even know who you are analyzing, its a flaw in the system. Unless you do just as you stated, base it on grade level since most students tend to be grouped into close age category you wouldn't have much more information to analysis. My only advise would be, when you insert a picture, graph, image, what ever, make sure it can be read by your audience. You image is blurred because of how small the writing is. When blogs are used as an educational tool its important that all the information can be clearly read. I thought the list of items that need to be analyzed was perfect because it becomes not only a teaching tool but can also be used as a check list for you audience if they are using the blog as an information source. Good job.
