Research Process• Gather information to identify gap between current and target learning/performance goals, e.g.,

employee records, interviews, surveys.• Analyze information to determine if instruction will address the problem• .Summarize findings to describe a plan of action to achieve instructional goals or an alternate plan

if instruction is not needed.

Conduct Instructional AnalysisIdentify performance

Research Process• Gather Learner characteristics data, e.g., employee records, interviews, surveys.• Analyze data to find most common characteristics, e.g., reading levels, cultural background, past

experience.• Use results as basis for design/development decisions to meet learner needs.

Analyze Learners and Contexts

Research Process• Analysis of the leaners to determine their current skills, preferences, and attitudes• Identify the contextual characteristics of the instructional setting

Write Performance ObjectivesDescribe skills or

behaviors

Describe conditions

Describe criteria

Research Process• Development assessments that measure the learners' ability to perform objectives

Develop Instructional StrategyDevelop

strategies

Create a blueprint

Performance objectives

Research Process• Identify the strategy used in instruction to achieve the objective• Use data from activities, feedback, and testing• Analyze characteristics of the leaners and the medium will be used in developing a strategy

for instruction development.

Develop and Select Instructional Materials

Research Process• Determine the instructional materials that will be used or created based on your instructional

strategy• Identify existing material that can be used

Design and Conduct Formative Evaluation of Instruction

Collect data

Formative Evaluation

Prototypes

Research Process• Identify how to improve the instruction• Conduct one to-one, small-group, and field evaluations• Analyze Interviews from students

Revise InstructionExamine the

validity

Analyze data

Identify difficulties

Image source: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-225366952.html

Research Process• Summarize data collected during the formative evaluation• Identify difficulties experienced by learners• Identify where specific difficulties were from in the instruction• Assess the validity of the assumptions made about the learners behavior and characteristics

Design and Conduct Summative Evaluation
