Sequencing across Instructional Programs:Component/Composite Analysis
Component to Composite • Skills, objects, and events can be broken down into smaller parts • how can we break them down?
Composite • Larger unit of instruction • Comprised of many smaller skills
Component • Smaller unit of instruction
If, Then Rule... • If it is needed for an error correction, then it is a component skill
Definitions • Component Skill • May or may not be the same learning channel as the composite skill • Any given component skill may have component skills itself
Mapping Instructional Sequences • Sequencing Skills • Diagrams • Component skills connect from the component to the composite skill • Multiple components skills • Sequence within content areas
Key Features • Analysis • Conducted Individually • Students have different skill repertoires • Analyze on an individual basis just as we empirically validate RESA individually
Key Features • Diagrams • PROPOSED instructional sequences and may change as we collect more data on the student’s learning
A composite skill is the smaller unit of a skill. Right Wrong
Wrong: The component skill in the smaller unit that compromises the composite skill.
2. A component skill is required for the error corrections of a composite skill. Right Wrong
Right: The definition of a component skill is that it is required for error corrections for the composite skill.
3. Composite skills may be compromise of a few to many component skills. Right Wrong
Right: A composite skill may have as few as one component skill and as many as a few component skills. More complex composite skills usually have a larger number of component skills.
4. All skills have component skills. Right Wrong
Right: If you said right, you probably were thinking that any skill can be broken down a bit further and that some skill is going to be necessary to complete a successful error correction.
1. Sara is learning to expressively label pictures of farm animals. During error corrections, Sara’s teacher modeled the correct answer to a picture and asked Sara to copy what she said. Sara correctly labeled the picture after the label was modeled. In learning channel and pinpoint language, what was the composite skill?
The composite skill learning channel was See/Say and the pinpoint was farm animals.
2. What was the component skill utilized during the describe correction procedure?
3. Jeremy is learning to follow directions with objects in his classroom. We call this skill Hear direction with object/Do direction with object. When Jeremy struggles to complete the direction correctly, his teachers sometimes model the actions sequence of the direction or they repeat a portion of the direction that corresponds to where he made an error. List three different component skills that may be in affect for Jeremy’s direction following performance.
Predicted component skills required for to Hear direction with objects/Do direction are: • Hear/Say sentences • Hear/Touch objects • he needs to hear the object in the direction and get the object to complete the direction • See/Do gross motor actions • modeled the procedure for Jeremy
Additionally • Hear/Say sentences • need to say the sentence back before he followed the direction • Hear/Touch prepositions • Hear place/Do movement towards place • directions included prepositional information or specific information regarding where to go to get objects or where to carry out actions.
Your turn! • Select a skill from each of the following areas: • Kinesthetic repertoire • Sequence or algorithm (either, but please identify) • Principle • Generate a scope & sequence chart for each skill
Tonight’s Homework • Generate a component/composite analysis for each of the following skills: • riding a two-wheel bicycle (kinesthetic repertoire) • reciting the first five letters of the alphabet in order (serial memory task) • folding t-shirts (algorithm) • identifying all instances of trees as trees (concept) • waiting to speak until you have someone's attention (principle) • Given actual assessment results from at least one child with autism, please generate scope and sequence charts as described on the Scope & Sequence Chart Generation web page • Turn in copies of the assessment results to Michael • Remember that no one’s going to actually TELL you the component skills
