Identifying Subordinate Skills & Entry Behaviors Dick & Carey Chapter 4
Review: Goals & Goal Analysis • A. Identify an Instructional Goal • What do you want the learner to do? • B. Analyze the Goal Statement: 1. What type of learning is the goal? • Attitudinal, Psychomotor, Intellectual, or Verbal Information Skills 2. Describe exactly what the student will be doing when performing the goal.
Hierarchical Approach • For each step in the goal ask this question: • “ What must the student already know so that , with a minimal amount of instruction, this task can be learned?” • Yields one or more subordinate skills
For lntellectual Skills • The subordinate skills should follow Gagne's hierarchy • higher-order rules • rules • concepts • discriminations
For Verbal Information Skills • Cluster Analysis • Identify the info. needed to achieve the goal
Question # 1 • “What must the learner do when exhibiting this attitude?” • answer is almost always psychomotor or intellectual skill (hierarchical analysis)
Question # 2 • “Why should the learner exhibit this attitude?” • the answer is usually verbal information • analyzed using a separate cluster or • integrated into the basic hierarchical analysis that was done in the first half of the analysis
Entry Behaviors • Instructional analysis serves to identify skills a learner must know before they begin instruction • Identify the hierarchy or cluster level that a majority of the population will already have
Caveats of Entry Behavior • Tentativeness of the line • Danger of drawing the line too low • Beta test if practical
