ADDIE Model: Components of the Analysis Phase

 

WHAT  ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE ANALYSIS PHASE IN THE ADDIE MODEL?

 

 

 

The analysis phase is a very pertinent component in the ADDIE Model. "It involved many hours of research and interviewing to improve your skills to determine course expectations for your audience (Shoemaker, 2010)." Although this step is frequently disregarded it is needed it is also the most important phase. The analysis phase is the who, what, where, and when of the ADDIE model. There are two major components that are combined together with their own activities to formulate the analysis phase in the ADDIE Model and these are the Performance Analysis and The Training Needs Assessment. The components of the Performance Analysis are the front-end analysis and the cause analysis. The components of the Training Needs Assessment are the audience analysis, instructional goal analysis and the task/competency analysis.

 

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

The performance analysis is needed to find out what the problems are, figure out what is the best way the problems can be solved, and are there any barriers that would potentially prevent people for the targeted performance.

• Front-end Analysis is when you want to know is there any issues and if so what the issues are. This is where you identify the problem.
• "Cause Analysis is about determining why a gap in performance or expectations exist (What is Human Performance Technology, 2012)."

 

TRAINING NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Needs assessment is needed to verify if there is a need for the training/project.

• Audience Analysis-Who requires the training? "It is critical to know who your audience is for the course or program that you are creating (Shoemaker, 2010)." This allows us to customize the instructions for the specific learners. Audience analysis focus will on the target audience trying to determine how much how much information or knowledge they are coming into the training with, evaluating their attitudes towards the training, is there a desire to learn the information, and demographic information.
• Instructional Goal Analysis is where you state what goals and/or objectives should be included in the training. It is important to make sure you address and ask plenty of questions. This helps to build with an effective and productive course.
• Task/Competency Analysis-Most importantly you will be determining the knowledge skills, and abilities that are needed for the training or project, you will also determine what the goals are and create any objectives for the training/project. It is always a good idea to determine what equipment or resources will be available for the training/project.
