3.2 Workshop Facilitation Team
The workshop facilitation team essentially comprises the same people as the program development team. Its role is to ensure continuity and coherence in the program development process. In recent years, a workshop secretary has also been added to the team.
Close collaboration must exist among the different members of the team. The members’ clear, accurate comprehension of their respective roles and those of the other members, as well as the absence of competition, will help the job analysis workshop run smoothly. Team members must be sufficiently available to meet the requirements of the task (the work demands a great deal of time and effort within a short time frame).
It is of the utmost importance that team members realize that the job analysis influences the activities that will take place subsequently in the program development process.
A job analysis workshop comprises three main activities: facilitation, assessment of the relevance of the information gathered, and the processing of this information.
Workshop facilitation is entrusted to the team member who has:
extensive experience in workshop facilitation
excellent interpersonal skills
great ease in reformulating and synthesizing ideas
rigorous critical thinking
in-depth knowledge of the job analysis method and the ultimate processing of the information gathered, according to the specific structure of each document related to the programs at the secondary and college levels
