Your job is to find the gap between knowledge and performance.

Your should choose a "real" problem. Think about the organizations to which you belong, courses you have taken at GPTC, or your work place. What tasks do you see people struggling with? Refer to your text to to aid in identifying a potential topic of instruction you think could be helpful and fill a current learning gap.

Procedure:

Determine an instructional scenario where new or revised training is appropriate; where there is an obvious gap between knowledge and performance.

Determine what techniques you will use to gather data to substantiate the instructional need (surveys, questionnaires, interviews, etc).

Develop a needs assessment instrument.

Survey your target population/gather data.

Collect/analyze data.

Write a summary of the needs assessment data that includes the following:

a description of your target population based on your analysis

a description of the instructional need your team has uncovered

a description of the instructional solution your team will create

three to five instructional outcomes

With this assignment, your team has identified a potential knowledge gap, assessed the need for instruction, identified a topic to create, and described learning outcomes to use as you develop your training workshop.

Your team's written report must include the following:

Instructional scenario with a problem; describe in one or more paragraphs.

Needs assessment instrument

List of target members from whom to collect data

Description and analysis of data collected

Survey of the needs assessment results; describe in one or more paragraphs.
