Backwards Planning Model
for Performance Analysis Needs
A. What will motivate them
to learn and perform?
· Once a
module is opened, the module will remain open then close as indicated. This is
done to help the entire class stay on track.
· To
stimulate your cultural enrichment, some of the modules will include material
to examine some aspect of cultural enrichment.
·
The course is very rigorous. In higher education, the
responsibility to learn falls squarely on the student, as an adult. I want you
to be successful. I want each of you to fully master this material.
B. What activities or
experiences will help them learn?
1. Participation in Discussions
· Discussion
questions and student interaction are the means for staying engaged in the
course and for building the online community. Proper grammar, punctuation, and
full words and sentences are expected. To earn points for the discussion the
posts must be thoughtful, fully answer the question(s), respectful of the
class, and posted within the current module. Late posts are not accepted. For
full points, students are expected to respond with substance and to respond to
at least three learners. Those responses should be with substance (‘I agree’
will not work) and adhere to the other rules for discussions noted above.
2. Reflection
· Reflection
can be a valuable tool in teaching and study. An article will be available in
Doc Sharing for your consideration. The article details the value of becoming a
critically reflective learner and teacher. The reflection part is private and
individual to the student and will not be read by the teacher unless the
student chooses to share the reflection.
· There
will be some quizzes and time-management articles to help the learner. The
additional skills and concepts will aid in planning, developing, and completing
a ePortfolio.
C. What do performers need to do to reach objective?
· The best
way to learn about research is to fully engage in the process. Well planned
research shows in the final product just as poorly planned research is
reflected. Students will actively participate in their own research and
contribute with quality, thoughtful feedback to their peers. A wide variety of
instructional methods will be utilized to provide meaningful learning
experiences, including group problem-solving activities, self-assessments,
independent research, and projects. The final result will be artifacts placed
in your ePortfolio.
D. What is my objective in this performance analysis?
- The problem I want to address is the lack of training in researching skills that will carry over into technology integration.
- Knowing the names of this technology and where to find it on the web is not enough.
- One of our biggest needs in Higher Ed is effective researching skills.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Learning outcomes are what you are able to do as a result of the
activities, readings, instruction, etc. that have taken place in this course -
these are my expectations of you!
1. The learner will be an active and engaged team member within
his/her learning community by analyzing, constructing/creating, and evaluating
information presented within the textbook, external readings/resources, student
research, and class activities in order to contribute to and develop a research
proposal.
2. The learner will compare and contrast different research
designs and distinguish quantitative and qualitative methods.
3. The learner will prepare and execute steps in the process of
research in the form of 2 projects.
_The
learner will identify and select research articles.
· _The
learner will collect and analyze relevant empirically based research and write
a Journal Article / Abstract Critique and an Emerging Technologies
Project.
· _The
learner will develop the purpose and research questions to address the
projects.
· _The
learner will properly format and cite research via the APA 6th edition
publication style.
4. The learner will participate in discussions with group members
providing constructive and thoughtful feedback to the construction and
development of their projects.

the organization being targeted in this analysis:
Analysis of Performance Context
· _The designer must be concerned about the
characteristics of the setting in which the skills and knowledge will be used.
· _ Know the environment in which our
learners will be using their new skills.
Aspects of the Context Analysis are:
Aspects of the Context Analysis are:
1)
Support of Manager or Supervisor
·
The Department of Educational Leadership
at Texas A & M University-Commerce graduates more than 400 students each
year and produces more than 15,000 semester credit hours (SCH). Faculty utilizes
a variety of innovative teaching processes to reach a diversified student
population across the state
.
2) Organizations
Physical Aspects
·
Texas
A&M University-Commerce provides a personal educational experience for a
diverse community of life-long learners. Our purpose is to discover and
disseminate knowledge for leadership and service in an interconnected and
dynamic world. Our challenge is to nurture partnerships for the intellectual,
cultural, social and economic vitality of the Northeast Texas region and beyond.
3) Social Aspects of the Organization
·
Upon
completion of this Master's program, students will have developed important
skills sought in a variety of settings and an electronic portfolio to market
their knowledge, skills, and abilities to potential employers. Specifically, graduates
of the Educational Technology-Leadership program will:
Ø Develop a philosophy of educational
technology that shapes their visions reflected in a variety of areas from the
role of technology in current and future personal and professional settings.
Ø Utilize best research practices in
order to make informed decisions regarding the effectiveness/impact of technology
integration.
Ø Demonstrate effective communication,
media, information, and technological literacy skills applicable within current
and future personal and professional settings.
Ø Effectively design, develop and
integrate a variety of technological applications that are appropriate within current
and future personal and professional settings.
4) Skills to Workplace Relevance
I. Use technology-related terms, concepts,
data, input strategies, and ethical practices to make informed decisions of
current technologies and their applications.
II.
Identify task requirements, apply search strategies, and use current technology
to efficiently acquire, analyze, and evaluate a variety of electronic
information.
III. Use task-appropriate tools to
synthesize knowledge, create and modify solutions, and evaluate. results in a
way that supports the work of individuals and groups in problem solving
situations
IV. Communicate information in different
formats for diverse audiences.
V. Plan, organize, deliver, and evaluate
instruction for all students that incorporate the effective use of current
technology for teaching. Students will be able to integrate the technology
applications of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) into the
curriculum.
