Instruction as a Instruction as a systematicsystematic processprocess
Every component of instruction (teacher, student materials, and learning environment) is crucial to successful learning
Called the “Systems Approach” to instruction
Barry Williams 7
What is a system?What is a system?
A set of interrelated parts all working together toward a defined goal.
Barry Williams 8
How can a systems approach How can a systems approach improve instruction?improve instruction?
A process that allows you to looks at– the learners, – the instructor, – the instructional materials, – and learning environment
Goal is to bring about increased learning.
Barry Williams 9
Rationale for using the Rationale for using the systems approachsystems approach
See the roles of all the components Control how they interact
– Reduces overemphasis on any one component

Reasons for the effectiveness Reasons for the effectiveness of a systematic approachof a systematic approach
Focus on what the learner is to know or do The process has a linkage between each
component– especially between instructional strategy and
learning outcomes It is an empirical & replicable process with
over 25 years of research evidence
Barry Williams 18
BackgroundBackground
Most critical part of the I.D. process– identifying instructional goals
Two methods to id goals– 1. SME (Subject Matter Expert)– 2. PT (Performance Technology)
Barry Williams 19
Instructional GoalInstructional Goal
What you want the learner to be able to do after training (instruction)?
Barry Williams 20
Instructional Goals are stated Instructional Goals are stated in terms of:in terms of:
Skills Knowledge Attitudes
Barry Williams 21
Instructional Goals use action Instructional Goals use action verbsverbs
“Will be able to solve...” “Will be able to blind rivet” “Will be able to apply...”
Barry Williams 22
Instructional Goals allow you Instructional Goals allow you to:to:
Describe the problem precisely Determine how to solve it efficiently &
effectively Save $$$$$$$$ when instruction is found
not to be needed or is misplaced
Barry Williams 23
NAs are:NAs are:
Used to id the nature of the organizational problem– Gap between what is and what should be
Used to solve an problem existing
Barry Williams 24
Examples of “Fuzzy” Examples of “Fuzzy” Instructional GoalsInstructional Goals
Appreciating handmade furniture Sensing good paintings Being aware of how to make hot cakes
Barry Williams 25
How to Clarify Fuzzy GoalsHow to Clarify Fuzzy Goals
1. Write it down
2. Write down what the learner would do to achieve the goal
Barry Williams 26
Parts of a Goal:Parts of a Goal:
1. Id the learnersThe bricklayers at Bricks-Are-Us
2. What the learner will be able to do“will be able to lay a course of 16 in. concrete block”

3. Description of the context in which the skills are use30 feet long in one hour
4. Description of the tools available using a mudguard, trowel, level, and plumb line
Barry Williams 30
Goal Analysis - Two StepsGoal Analysis - Two Steps
1. Classify according to the type of learning outcome (domain of learning)– psychomotor, intellectual, verbal information,
attitudes 2. Describe exactly what a students will be
doing when performing the goal – using observable verbs like moving, painting,
etc.
Barry Williams 31
Verbal Info. Vs Intellectual Verbal Info. Vs Intellectual SkillsSkills
Gagne & Driscoll pg. 44Gagne & Driscoll pg. 44 Verbal Information (facts)
– declarative knowledge, “knowing that”– is added to information already in memory
Intellectual Skills– “knowing how” as opposed to know that
Barry Williams 32
Goal Analysis Goal Analysis continuedcontinued
Decide if sub-steps (sub-goals) are necessary– complexity of the task– target audience
Finally, formulate a test item that would show that learners can perform the skill?

Learner CharacteristicsLearner Characteristics1. Entering Behavior
2. Prior Knowledge of Topic
3. Attitude toward Content & Delivery System
4. Academic Motivation
5. Educational Ability Levels
6. General Learning Preferences
7. Attitudes toward the Organization
8. Group Characteristics
Barry Williams 46
Context of Performance Context of Performance SettingSetting
1. Managerial Support– little support, little or no skills transfer
2. Physical Aspects of the Workplace– skills practiced in conditions similar to
workplace
Barry Williams 47
Performance Setting Performance Setting (cont’d)(cont’d)
3. Social Aspectsalone or in groups?work independently or with direction?most workers familiar with content or new to
everyone?
4. Relevance of the Skills to the WorkplaceConstraints:
physical, social, or motivational

AudienceAudience
Who are you trying to train?– Skilled / Unskilled?– Educational levels– Cultural variables– Old / Young
Barry Williams 55
BehaviorBehavior
What the learner will be able to do
“Add two, three-digit, positive numbers”
Barry Williams 56
BehaviorBehavior
Derived from the sub-skills under the instructional analysis steps– The test: Ask, “Can I
observe the learner doing this?”(skill)
If precise, the sub-skills don’t need to be modified
Some Intellectual Skills Verbs are:
– discriminate
– identify
– classify
– demonstrate
– generate
Barry Williams 57
Types of BehaviorTypes of Behavior
1. Intellectual & verbal skillsdescribe the skill & the intent
2. Psychomotor skillsspecified by verbs like: jogging, painting,
brushing, etc.
3.Attitudinal skills– choosing between options
Barry Williams 58
ConditionCondition
Tools the learner will use
“Using a calculator”
Barry Williams 59
ConditionCondition
Used to evaluate the learner“in four out of five number
problems”
Barry Williams 60
ConditionsConditions((cont’dcont’d))
3. Control the complexity of the task to match the audience level
Two examples:– Given three sockets, pick the hex socket
(audience: beginning mechanics)– Given a 1500-piece toolbox, select the metric
3/8 drive thin-wall, 8 mm. impact socket (audience: master mechanics)
Barry Williams 61
CriteriaCriteria includesincludes
What behavior is acceptable or The limits of acceptable behavior
– limits include: single answer a range check list (psychomotor) tally or anecdotal record (attitudinal)
Barry Williams 62
Steps in Writing ObjectivesSteps in Writing ObjectivesSummarySummary
1.Edit goal to reflect performance
2.Write terminal objective to reflect context of learning environmentthe instructional area, the
workplace, and the audience
3. Write objectives for each step in the goal analysis that have no sub-steps
4. Write objectives that reflect the sub-steps or write objectives for the sub-steps
5.Write objectives for all subordinate skills
6. Write objectives for entry behaviors if needed
