Conducting Task Analysis

In instructional design, task analysis is one of the most critical components in which learning goals, objectives, types of tasks and requirements to perform the specific tasks are identified. In this chapter, we provide an overview of task analysis and discuss the most relevant task analysis methods with concrete examples. As we focus on high-stakes learning environments and argue for the centrality of problem solving, we specifically discuss case-based reasoning and critical incident/critical decision methods that are highly relevant to problem solving.
