Week’s
Summary
This week, we worked on our course outline. For the
course outline, we figured out some important aspects of our chosen course such
as type of students we would teach and general goals of our chosen course. The
main lesson this week was the analysis phase of the project which includes instructional
goals, instructional analysis, learner analysis, and learner objectives.
Item
of Interest
I enjoyed watching the ADDIE video on analysis. The
information it had was insightful. I did not know that instructional analysis
was so in-depth. I will keep it in mind when developing my course. My course is
fundamentals of public speaking. At first, I dreaded public speaking, but now I
love it. The skills I learned from public speaking proved to be useful. I have
spoken at church events and school events. I even won an award for public
speaking a couple years ago. Keeping in mind the instructional analysis phase
of my course, I initially thought public speaking did not have many steps.
However, once I did my course outline I realized it has several steps like
using basic rules of grammar, constructing speech outlines, awareness of
different writing techniques, and etc. Now, I understand that instructional
analysis contains the building blocks that lead to having a successful course. To better understand instructional analysis, I found the site http://www.slideshare.net/BarbskiessHaug/conducting-instructional-analysis. It provides easy ways to construct an instructional analysis.
Problem or Concern
I could use assistance in knowing a better way of
choosing general goals that are appropriate for my course I am developing. For
instance, one of my course goals is for students to identify principles of
audience for various speeches. However, I am not sure if I should be more
specific about the types of various speeches that will be presented in my
course. Any help would be appreciated.
