this week’s assignment gives you the chance to analyze a specific task related to the learning scenario on which you have been working since Week 2.
If you are unsure whether your task is narrow enough, consult the examples in this week’s resources (e.g., Figure 4.1 in Brown & Green, 2015) and your professor. Be sure to address the following:
- Define a task analysis.
- Summarize the learning need you developed in Week 2.
- Name the task you are analyzing.
- Describe at least three pre-requisite skills or knowledge needed to complete the task. In the sandwich example, pre-requisite knowledge might include knowing what peanut butter is and a pre-requisite skill might be how to use a knife to spread something on bread.
- List the steps needed to complete the task in order, starting with Step 1.
While you may create a Word document with this information, you are also welcomed to use other formats that might engage other skills you are growing. When in doubt, first check with your professor.
Length: 1-2 pages, excluding title and reference pages; for other formats, consult your professor
References: Include a minimum of 1 scholarly resource cited and referenced in APA style.
The task analysis should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. The content should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards and should adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
