INTRODUCTIONS
Introduce yourself:
1. Who are you?
2. What are your goals for this workshop?
WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE TODAY?
GIMME SOME LEARNING OBJECTIVES
What is something you are
working on?
IDENTIFYING GAPS
TYPES OF GAPS
GAP ANALYSIS MODEL
▪ Acquisition of Information (or access and retrieval of information)
▪ Procedure
▪ Skill development
▪ Habit formation
▪ Motivation/Affect
▪ Environment
INFORMATION GAPS
Not having the right information is like not having the right equipment.
PROCEDURAL GAPS
Step-by-step, well-defined problems
SKILL GAPS
Is it reasonable to think that
someone can be proficient without
practice?
Ask one question:
SKILL / NOT A SKILL
MOTIVATION/ATTITUDE GAPS
I know, but…
HABIT GAPS
ENVIRONMENT GAPS
SOLVE THE RIGHT PROBLEM
Knowledge
Procedures
Skills
Habit
Motivation
Environment
We usually design
for these…
…but we need to
think about these
too.
ANALYSIS ACTIVITY▪ Knowledge
▪ Procedure
▪ Skill
▪ Habit
▪ Motivation/Affect
▪ Environment
Determine which gaps apply
to your three learning
objectives
STRATEGIES FOR INFORMATION Memory and retention
COGNITIVE LOAD THEORY (SWELLER)

annoying!

WHAT INFORMATION STICKS?
UNUSUAL OR SURPRISING / EMOTIONAL REACTION

MEANINGFUL OR RELEVANT / PRIOR EXPERIENCE

Analogies
Stimulate recall of
prior learning
Help relate to needs or
challenges

DESIGN FOR INFORMATION
In your group, discuss strategies for knowledge/information items:
Consider:
• Encoding with:• Unusual or surprising
• Emotional reaction
• Meaningful or relevant
• Previous experience
• Interacted with
• Repetition
Spacing
Refreshing the forgetting curve
STRATEGIES FOR PROCEDURES Practice, practice, practice

SCAFFOLDING
Well structured,

Also, what’s the
frequency of
use?

DESIGN FOR PROCEDURES
Identify activities for your procedural objectives:
Consider:
How can they get enough practice?
How can they move from structure to autonomy?
How can they get support?
How frequently do they need to use the new procedure?
STRATEGIES FOR SKILLS Practice and feedback
THE MOST OBVIOUS IMPLICATION FOR LEARNING?

Persona
CRITIQUING AN EXAMPLE
Use the checklist to evaluate the value statement for Jeanette’s resume:
I need a fulfilling position that
allows me to grow, and
provides good work/life
balance.

GENERALIZING PRINCIPLES
You identified these areas as problems in Carl’s
cover letter. In the forum below, suggest principles
for writing a better cover letter:
GENERALIZE PRINCIPLES
After critiquing examples, have participants generalize guidelines (adjust and add to as needed)
Based on that example, what are the elements of a good persona?
GENERATE EXAMPLES
Have participants create their own examples.
In pairs, you’ll create quick list of persona types for this class.

DESIGN FOR SKILLSWhat kinds of activities can support skills-based learning?
Consider:
-How is the learner going to get enough practice?
-If it’s a very slow skill, what is the reinforcement over time?
-How variable are the outcomes?
DESIGNING FOR HABITS How is this different?

behavior that is repeated

unconsciously.- Source: Wikipedia

DESIGN FOR HABITS
What activities would support acquiring new habits?
Consider:
-How is the learner participating in their own habit formation?
-How is the learner being reinforced?
-What support do managers and supervisors need to promote beneficial habits?
DESIGN FOR MOTIVATION
IN OUR IDEAL WORLD, BEHAVIOR CHANGE WOULD WORK LIKE THIS:
Oh my goodness! You are
right.
I will never do it again.
Um, you really shouldn’t text
while driving.
It’s dangerous.
I KNOW, BUT…“I know it’s a bad idea, and I never do it (except when I do, and then I feel guilty).”
“I know it’s a bad idea, but I only do it once in a while, and I’m very careful.”
“I know it’s a bad idea for other people, but I can do it because I’m really good at it.”
“Huh? What’s the big deal?”
SO, WHY?
ANSWER: LOGICAL DECISION-MAKING ISN’T LOGICAL
From Jonathan Haidt’s The Happiness Hypothesis
THE RIDER
THE ELEPHANT
SO, WHEN THERE’S A CONFLICT…Who do you think wins?
TELL ME OF YOUR PAIN
What are some of the behaviors you are
hoping to help change?
DEFINING THE BEHAVIORS
What behaviors will support the goal?
MAKE SURE YOU’VE GOT A BEHAVIOR
Which of these are a behavior?
1. Walking for 20 minutes
2. Taking blood pressure medicine daily
3. Losing weight
4. Improving Customer Service
5. Greeting the customer with a smile
THE PHOTO TEST
If your behavior seems vague, ask yourself this question:
If I took a photo or video of it, what would the person be doing?
With 2-3 people near you, pick a challenging behavior that you will work on as a group.
CHOOSE A BEHAVIOR
1. Doesn’t know at all about the behavior
2. Knows about the behavior, but doesn’t understand why it’s important
3. Understands the explanation for why it’s important, but doesn’t believe that explanation
4. Thinks the behavior is worth it, but not a priority at the moment
5. Thinks the behavior is a priority, but doesn’t know how to do it
6. Thinks the behavior is a priority, but thinks it’s too hard in the environment (physical or social) or isn’t confident about their ability to do it
7. Is ready to try, but is having a hard time getting started
8. Has started, but is having trouble staying motivated
9. Is continuing, but isn’t consistent or successful
10. Has been consistent or successful, but is falling off the behavior
