Analyzing Learners and Contexts • Writing Performance Objectives

Overview

This week, we will explore the steps of “Analyze Learners and Contexts” and “Write Performance Objectives” in the Dick & Carey model.

First, we will switch our attention to the learners, the contexts in which they will acquire knowledge and skills, and the environment in which they will perform the skills and knowledge. We will explore the techniques and tools that we can use to conduct learner and context analysis such as interviews, surveys, and observations. Next, we will learn how to create performance objectives which are “detailed description[s] of what students will be able to do when they complete a unit of instruction” (Dick, Carey, & Carey, 2015, p. 118). A performance objective needs to have three parts: Condition (CN), Behavior (B), and Criteria (CR). Table 6.2 (p. 121) in the textbook is a good resource when writing performance objectives. Keep in mind, the behaviors (action verbs) in your performance objectives need to be measurable and achievable. Bloom Taxonomy is a good resource for you to identify action verbs (Behavior) that can be applied to course assignments.
