Task Analysis (TA)
By using task analysis (TA) to teach a learner individual steps, the learner can become more independent using the more complex target skill or behavior.
What Will I Learn?
The AFIRM model guides the learner through four lessons to facilitate:
- Learning basic knowledge about task analysis (TA).
- Applying TA in activity based scenarios that promote real-world application.
The TA module will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. However, the module is broken into individual lessons to help guide your learning:
