Overview
For this assignment, you will conduct a needs assessment and an instructional analysis to get a better understanding of who your learners are, in what contexts they will be learning the new skills and knowledge, and in what context they will use those skills in the work environment (transfer and performance).
Please note that for this assignment, all writing should be in APA 7 format, such as a title page with a running head, headers, table, and references. You may NOT use any version of artificial intelligence for this project. You must experience all of these steps to retain these processes in your long-term memory.
This assignment will include the following components/headings:
- Needs Assessment
- Introduction and Purpose
- Participants
- Data Collection Method
- Data Collection Instruments
- Results and Findings
- Instructional Goals and Recommendations
- Instructional Analysis
- Learner Analysis
- Performance/Learning Analysis

1. Needs Assessment
a. Introduction and Purpose - Describes the purpose of the needs assessment. Provides an overview of the target audience, location, and outcome of the needs assessment.
b. Participants - Describes from whom data was collected including at least one subject matter expert (SME) and at least 5 representatives from the target population. Provides rationale for the selection of participants as representatives of the target population.
c. Data Collection Method - Describes the process and methods by which data was collected.
d. Data Collection Instruments - Describes the data collection instrument(s), including:
- a needs assessment survey,
- existing data/database, interviews, or other sources of data.
Includes a copy of the required needs assessment survey and any additional instruments that were used. Be sure to include a description that describes how the selected instrument aligns with the specific goals. (e.g., The goals were to improve both (a) extrinsic and (b) intrinsic motivation. Questions 1-7 measure extrinsic, while questions 8-15 measure intrinsic.)
e. Results and Findings - Presents results and findings of the needs assessment in both a narrative format and table and/or graph format.
f. Instructional Goals and Recommendations - Identifies instructional goals in relationship to the identified need. Provides evidence that the instruction is most effective way to address the need. Identifies prospective learners and the context in which learned skills will be used. Identifies tools and resources available to learners within the performance contexts. Identifies resources available to develop instructional materials.
2. Instructional Analysis
a. Learner Analysis - Identifies the entry skills and prior knowledge of the learners. Describes attitudes of the learners toward the content and potential delivery system. Describes academic motivation of the learners in the context of attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction (ARCS). Describes educational and ability levels of the learners. Describes general learning preferences of the learners. Describes learners’ attitudes toward their organization/performance context.
b. Performance/Learning Analysis - Identifies managerial or superior support available to learners. Describes physical aspects of the site. Describes social/cultural aspects of the site. Describes the compatibility of the site with instructional requirements. Describes the adaptability of the site for instructional approaches. Identifies limitations of the site affecting design and delivery (e.g., availability of resources).
MAKE THIS FROM THE PAPER THAT IS ATTACHED you will have to actually conduct/administer the exact needs .assessment that is describe in the paper attached. If you need to distribute an electronic survey for your needs assessment, you have access to umSurvey - QualtricsLinks to an external site.. umSurvey is a survey service provided by Qualtrics at the University of Memphis. This service can be used to create, distribute, and analyze surveys. The software has advanced reporting capabilities, social media integration, and extensive collaboration opportunities
