- Chapter 5 Analysis (pages 93-118). Chapter 5 serves as a comprehensive exploration of analysis as the initial phase in instructional design (ISD). It delves into the essential components of problem identification through in-depth analysis, addressing the who, what, where, when, and why of this critical stage. The chapter introduces NOP analysis as an initial step in the analysis process, followed by an examination of five distinct types of analysis commonly employed in ISD: root-cause analysis, population analysis, task analysis, worst-case scenario analysis, and unintended results analysis. Furthermore, it discusses instructional strategies for effectively teaching learners, along with the concept of half-life in ISD. The chapter also sheds light on the phenomenon of analysis paralysis, providing insights into overcoming this challenge in the instructional design process.
