For this assignment, you will think through answers to the following questions, which prompt you to contemplate various elements of the performance environment that are salient to your performance problem and will be important to consider when determining possible instructional interventions. (Note: It is up to you to determine which aspects are most salient to your performance problem and then to collect information to describe the performance environment in as much detail as possible. If you are unsure, reach out to your instructor to discuss.)
What is the setting in which the performance problem occurs? Include physical characteristics as well as social or political characteristics that are relevant to the performance.
Does the performance require teamwork, or is it an individual effort?
What aspects of the organizational culture and health—including leadership, support, or job satisfaction—might enable or hinder peak performance?
What policies and practices affect how work is done and who does the work?
What incentives serve to motivate learners to do their job? Are workers given autonomy? Recognized for good performance?
Are adequate tools and supplies available to accomplish the work successfully?
What larger societal or organizational norms, economic conditions or regulations, national policies, or political climates might impact the performance in this environment?
Once you have collected all the information, your final assignment should include:
A full description of the performance environment (approximately one page). The project stakeholders should be able to use your description to envision all relevant aspects of the environment in which the performance problem is occurring.
A discussion of the salient aspects of the performance environment that have implications for determining the instructional intervention options (approximately one page). Include what the implication is and how or why it either serves to support a particular type of intervention or serves to eliminate consideration of a particular type of intervention.
Length: 2-3 pages
References: Include a minimum of 2 scholarly resources.
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
