    Task Analysis Methods for Instructional Design is a handbook of task analysis and knowledge elicitation methods that can be used for designing direct instruction, performance support, and learner-centered learning environments.

    To design any kind of instruction, it is necessary to articulate a model of how learners should think and perform. This book provides descriptions and examples of five different kinds of task analysis methods:
    *job/behavioral analysis;
    *learning analysis;
    *cognitive task analysis;
    *activity-based analysis methods; and
    *subject matter analysis.

    Chapters follow a standard format making them useful for reference, instruction, or performance support.

    "I found the section on activity-based methods particularly useful: the task is elaborated within the context in which it must be performed."
