How to Classify Instructional Goals in the following
domains:
Intellectual Skills, Verbal Information, Psychomotor
Skills and Attitude?
Intellectual
Skills have four of the most common types which are making discriminations,
forming concepts, applying rules and solving problems. Any goal that requires a
learner to manipulate symbolic information in some way in which will become an
intellectual skill. It is very important to be able to identify the various
levels. Making discriminations are mostly simple, low-level learning by which
we know whether things are the same or different, however it is important
building blocks that put together as we learn concepts. Learning concepts means
being able to identify examples as being members of a certain concepts which
are combined to produce rules and problem solving is the highest skill. There
are two types which are well structured and ill structured.
Verbal Information- There is many ways to teach such
a skill and several ways the learner can learn it. There is no symbolic
manipulation. No problems or rule applying, it usual requires the learners to
provide specific responses to relatively specific questions. You usually can
spot a verb. The task is for the learner to store information in memory during
the instruction and remember it for test or when needed for some related task.
Attitude is usually described as the tendency to
make particular choices or decisions. When identifying an attitudinal goal
first determine whether the learners will have a choice to make and whether the
goal indicates the direction in which the decision is to be influenced. Another
characteristic is that they probably will not be achieved at the end of the
instruction. They are often long term goals that are extremely important but
very difficult to evaluate in a short term manner. The only way to determine if
the learner has achieved the goal is to have them do something.
Psychomotor Skill involves the coordination of
mental and physical activity. It is characterized by learners executing
physical actions with or without material.
Chapter 3.2
How to perform a goal analysis to identify the major
steps required accomplishing an instructional goal?
The first step is identifying the domain of the
goal, it is very important to be more specific in indicating what the learner
will be doing when performing the goal. The best way is to go in step by step
fashion and it is not that easy. Goal analysis is the visual display of the
specific steps in which a learner would when performing instructional goals.
Regardless of how large the steps are there should be a verb that describes an
observable behavior. Another behavior that we cannot observe is decision
making; it is based on a mental process which is based on a set of criteria.
Decision making steps are often critical to the performance of a goal.
