Instructor comment on your instructional analysis

Hi Brandon,

Your focus on reflective teaching practice and improvement is an important one; your needs assessment gave you a more informed and clear sense of the gap and need, so your mini-course will be more focused and purposeful. Nice work. I like how you refine your focus based on the information collected.

In your next step, you need further clarify the nature of the various learning outcomes/goals on your list based on the related classifications of learning outcomes (e.g. Gagne). Different types of outcomes involve different internal and external conditions of learning. So clarifying these nature of the learning outcomes will help inform the learning processes that you will be designing.

Excellent work on the objectives and task analysis!

A minor refinement: Your course has a attitude related outcome(goal) of learning, which is only reflected in the following performance objective. So you may think about use a different verb than "state" to make it more attitude-oriented, such as to justify, to advocate...

"Upon reading and viewing course materials regarding the theoretical concepts behind reflective teaching, the learner will be able to state why reflective teaching is an important practice for evaluating instruction in a reflective journal. (Verbal Information)"
