Talk:*Needs Assessment

Focus, learner -- Jianwei Zhang 17:13, 4 March 2009 (EST)

So your mini-course will teach reading strategies. The target learners should be teachers, right?

Your Goals:

To gather information on a controlled group of students and discover what they are missing in regards to making meaning out of written text.
To discover specific deficits in the process of meaning making.
To incorporate active reading strategies into the students’ common reading practices.
To show students how to make meaning from written word.
Incorporating written text from every academic discipline to aid students in meaning making and problem solving.

Please bear in mind that this project is to design a course on a well-researched topic, not to design a research. Your goal 1 looks so much like designing a research. Please re-write these goals after your reading of Gagne's chapter on performance objectives, then you may be able to better focus your work.
