This document discusses the analysis phase of the instructional design process. It explains that the analysis phase involves conducting a training needs analysis through various types of analysis like context analysis, user analysis, work analysis, and content analysis. The purpose of needs analysis is to identify performance gaps, set training priorities, and inform training decisions. Needs assessment techniques may include observation, questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. The output of the analysis phase is a job analysis report containing training recommendations and course content.

12. TRAINING NEEDS
A needs assessment is a
systematic & scientific set of
procedures undertaken for the
purpose of setting priorities and
making decisions about program
for organizational improvement
and allocation of resources.

13. TRAINING NEEDS
Needs assessments enable you to
identify and measure gaps
between what is and what ought to
be, from which program goals and
objectives can be identified. Needs
assessments ultimately address
questions about the future (What
should be done?).

15. TRAINING NEEDS
In the broadest sense, needs assessment is
concerned with policy and programs, not
individual diagnosis. If a needs assessment
is done well, however, it should lead to
actions that will directly benefit those with
the needs.
Needs assessment should progress through
a defined series of phases that involve
preparing for the assessment, implementing
the assessment, and then applying the
results to improve theDesign ProcessInstructional program.

Analysis Phase
16. WHY CONDUCT NEEDS ASSESSMENT?
Reduces uncertainty about a specific issue or
problem. While we might think we already know
what the needs are, usually our knowledge may be
based on impressions, or experiences of limited
situations or of observations of only a few persons
who may not be representative of the population we
are concerned with.
Identifies both program strengths and weaknesses.
Can be used as a baseline against which to
compare future changes in the program status.
Facilitates your ability to plan, make better informed
decisions, set priorities about your program

development and improvement needs.

17. WHY CONDUCT NEEDS ASSESSMENT?
• Whether can be conducted with limited
resources and time.
• Facilitates your ability to more effectively
and efficiently allocate and use program
resources.
• Adds credibility to your program.
• Educates others about your program.
• Garners additional resources and funding.
• Address the perceived changes in the
existing system, processes or products.

Additions and alterations in type of personnel
Additions and change in resource provision
Measures to address constraints

20. TYPES OF TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS
Context Analysis. An analysis of the business needs or
other reasons the training is desired. The important
questions being answered by this analysis are who decided
that training should be conducted, why a training program is
seen as the recommended solution to a business
problem, what the history of the organization has been with
regard to employee training and other management
interventions.
User Analysis. Analysis dealing with potential participants
and instructors involved in the process. The important
questions being answered by this analysis are who will
receive the training and their level of existing knowledge
on the subject, what is their learning style, and who will
conduct the training.

21. TYPES OF TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS
Work analysis. Analysis of the tasks being performed. This
is an analysis of the job and the requirements for performing
the work. Also known as a task analysis or job analysis, this
analysis seeks to specify the main duties and skill level
required. This helps ensure that the training which is
developed will include relevant links to the content of the
job.
Content Analysis. Analysis of documents, policies, plans
& procedures used on the job. This analysis answers
questions about what knowledge or information is used on
this job. This information comes from
manuals, documents, or regulations. It is important that the
content of the training does not conflict or contradict job
requirements. An experienced worker can assist (as a
Instructional Design Process21
subject matter expert) in determining the appropriate
Analysis Phase
22. TYPES OF TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS
Training Suitability Analysis. Analysis of whether
training is the desired solution. Training is one of
several solutions to employment problems.
However, it may not always be the best solution. It
is important to determine if training will be effective
in its usage.
Cost-Benefit Analysis. Analysis of the return on
investment (ROI) of training. Effective training
results in a return of value to the organization that
is greater than the initial investment to produce or
administer the training.

23. WHO CONDUCTS NEEDS ASSESSMENT?
Depending on your experience and the
complexity of the assessment, could
plan and conduct the assessment on
your own.
Consider utilizing an internal, in-house
evaluator.
Consider hiring a consultant to
conduct part or all of the needs
assessment activities.
Obtain technical assistance from

24. HOW TO CONDUCT NEED ASSESSMENT?
Several basic Needs Assessment techniques include:
Direct observation
Questionnaires

positions, and/or with specific knowledge
Review of relevant literature
Interviews
Focus groups
Tests
Records & report studies
