CPI Course Planning & Lesson Structuring 5

Question 1

A trainer is designing a lesson where learners will SYNTHESIZE information from multiple sources to create a new training plan. According to revised Bloom's Taxonomy, which level does this represent?

Accepted Answer

Create

Answer

The 'Create' level (highest in revised Bloom's Taxonomy) involves combining elements to produce something new, such as designing an original training plan.

Question 2

Which of the following is the MOST appropriate action when a lesson plan's allocated time is consistently shorter than what learners need to master the content?

Accepted Answer

Reduce the number of learning objectives covered per lesson

Answer

When time is insufficient for mastery, reducing the number of objectives per lesson ensures each objective receives adequate instructional time.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of including a 'closure' activity at the end of a lesson?

Accepted Answer

To help learners consolidate and summarize what they have learned

Answer

Closure activities help learners mentally organize and consolidate the key concepts from the lesson, reinforcing retention.

Question 4

When writing lesson objectives, an instructor uses the verb 'understand.' Why is this verb considered problematic for instructional design?

Accepted Answer

It is not observable or measurable

Answer

'Understand' is vague and cannot be directly observed or measured; performance verbs like 'explain,' 'identify,' or 'demonstrate' should be used instead.

Question 5

A training program must be delivered in both a face-to-face classroom and an online self-paced format. What step is MOST critical during the planning phase to ensure consistency?

Accepted Answer

Aligning learning objectives, content, and assessments across both formats

Answer

Aligning objectives, content, and assessments across delivery formats ensures that learners achieve the same outcomes regardless of how the course is delivered.
