Read the first 7 Curriculum Design & Development flashcards as text

  1. A trainer is using Bloom's Taxonomy to write learning objectives. Which verb is MOST appropriate for the 'Analysis' level?

    Answer: Differentiate

    Differentiate is an analysis-level verb requiring learners to break down information and distinguish between components.

  2. Which instructional design model emphasizes rapid prototyping and iterative development over linear sequential phases?

    Answer: SAM (Successive Approximation Model)

    SAM uses iterative cycles of design, prototyping, and review, making it faster and more flexible than linear models like ADDIE.

  3. A learning objective states: 'Learners will understand customer service principles.' What is the PRIMARY flaw with this objective?

    Answer: It uses an unmeasurable verb

    'Understand' is not measurable or observable, making it impossible to assess whether the objective has been achieved.

  4. During needs analysis, a trainer discovers a performance gap caused by lack of motivation rather than lack of skill. What is the BEST next step?

    Answer: Recommend a non-training intervention

    Training addresses skill gaps; motivation gaps require non-training interventions such as incentives, feedback systems, or environmental changes.

  5. Which type of evaluation focuses on collecting data during the design and development phase to improve the training before final delivery?

    Answer: Formative evaluation

    Formative evaluation is conducted during development to identify and correct problems before the training is finalized.

  6. A curriculum designer wants to ensure transfer of training to the job. Which strategy is MOST effective for promoting near transfer?

    Answer: Practicing skills in conditions identical to the job environment

    Near transfer is maximized when practice conditions closely mirror the actual job environment, making skills directly applicable.

  7. In the context of curriculum sequencing, which approach organizes content from the most fundamental concepts to more complex applications?

    Answer: Simple-to-complex sequencing

    Simple-to-complex sequencing begins with basic foundational content and progressively builds toward more advanced material.
