Conduct task and population analyses to gather information for the design of a professional development plan for the stakeholders who will implement a recommendation related to the adult learning program, specifically the instructional approaches and engagement strategies. Using the information from the population analysis, design an authentic assessment for the professional development participants.

Part 1: Task Analysis

Taskanalysis identifies the processes, procedures, and skills required to complete a task.

Step 1.
From the feasibility study (Module 3), select one recommendation, and consider the tasks required in implementing it. Break the recommendation down into its individual tasks. Use the steps in the Module 4 presentation, Part 1, to conduct an analysis of one task.

Consider:

• What useful information did you obtain from conducting the task analysis?
• How can this information contribute to a quality professional development plan for closing the gaps in the adult learning program?

Step 2.
In a graphic, convey the steps of the task analysis and the outcomes. Compose an introduction for your graphic.

Part 2: Population Analysis

A population analysis clarifies the professional development needs of adult learners.

Step 1.
Conduct a population analysis of the stakeholders who will attend the professional development focused on tasks required to implement a recommendation for improvements in the adult education program. Use the Module 4 presentation, Part 3, to help you decide the demographic information to collect.

• Collect and analyze relevant demographic information.
• Include the analysis in the paper you began in Part 1.

Part 3: What Assessment Will Meet Participant Needs?

Research has shown that adult learners are more interested in skill development than cognitive development and that authentic assessment is better able to meet their needs.

Step 1.
Based on the population analysis you conducted in Part 2, design an authentic assessment for the task that will allow professional development participants to apply their knowledge to create a relevant, real-world product.

• Include the assessment in the paper you began in Part 1.

Step 2.
Compose a conclusion that summarizes and synthesizes the information in Parts 1, 2, and 3.
