4.4 Step 4: Additional Information on Tasks
Objective
Gather information on the suboperations that correspond to each operation, if applicable, on the conditions for performing the various tasks, on the performance criteria used to evaluate if these tasks are performed effectively and safely, and on the relative importance and level of complexity of each task, including the percentage of time spent on each task.
Situation
The program development team will later design a proposed training plan and write first-level operational objectives. The information gathered at this stage will be a valuable reference.
The importance of this step should not be underestimated. The exercise is even more difficult because the participants have invested a great deal of energy in the preceding step and because they may sometimes provide incomplete or irrelevant information.
It is essential to cover the requirements for practicing the occupation (safety, autonomy, level of responsibility, etc.) as well as the relative importance of the various tasks and their level of complexity or difficulty.
Procedure
Phase I
Describe the sub operations that correspond to each operation.
Form small groups of three or four (three is best).
Each team describes the suboperations corresponding to a given number of validated operations in the tasks and operations table.
If time permits, the whole group discusses the suboperations described by each team
