Task analysis
Summary
First the most
important of Task Analysis is identifying sequential steps of performance job
to reach a goal. The conduct a Task Analysis we break down a task small
sub-task produces a result that help to reach a goal or General Objective so it
is important to recognize the cognitive difficulties that every subtask or
activity requires to be perform, thus we can put those activities into a
hierarchy from
General to specific.
What a user is required to do in
terms of actions and/or cognitive processes to achieve a task. A detailed task
analysis can be conducted to understand the current system and the information
flows within it, Provides knowledge of the tasks that the user wishes to
perform. Thus it is a reference against which the value of the system functions
and features can be tested.
Second the
Bloom mention three levels factual, procedural, Metacognitive. Factual is basic
elements students must know, Procedural is how to do something methods of
inquiry and criteria for using skills, algorithms, techniques, and methods,
Metacognitive is knowledge of cognition general as well as awareness and
knowledge of one own cognition, comprehension, application, Analysis, Synthesis
And evaluation. Third
the task decomposition can be carried out using the following stages: 1.
Identify the task to be analysed.2. Break this down into between 4 and 8
subtasks. These subtasks should be specified in terms of objectives and, between
them, should cover the whole area of interest.3. Draw the subtasks as a layered
diagram ensuring that it is complete.4. Decide upon the level of detail into
which to
Decompose. Making a conscious decision at this
stage will ensure that all the subtask decompositions are treated consistently.
It may be decided that the decomposition should continue until flows are more
easily represented as a task flow diagram.5. Continue the decomposition
process, ensuring that the decompositions and numbering are consistent. It is
usually helpful to produce
Written
account as well as the decomposition diagram.6. Present the analysis to someone
else who has not been involved in the decomposition but who knows the tasks
well enough to check for consistency.as a conclusion Task Analysis
is very important methods and technique
in the learning to students.
