Performance Objectives

While the rest of the class is sipping pina coladas and enjoying an extended spring break, I have decided to go ahead and press on with the systematic design process. It would seem at this juncture that it would be beneficial to do a learner and context analysis. My students, however, are in luck because rather than analyze them directly, I simply need to gather some information that is readily available in the educational context. Furthermore, the context, being that of the classroom, is fairly uniform and also does not need a great deal of analysis.

What does need to be analyzed, however, is the context in which the instruction will actually be used. What is the environment outside of the classroom? Will my students be able to actually apply their newly learned skills in this context?

I plan to follow the model of text and create a physical report of the analysis...gather my eggs for inspection, if you will. And see if, perhaps, more analysis needs to be done than I realize...
