Needs Assessment
Auto Mechanics Example
You teach basic auto mechanics. You have begun to notice
an interesting phenomenon. A lot of your students coming into the
beginning class already know something about repairing cars. However,
they are haphazard about it. You know that following systematic
procedures will help their performance in their jobs, so you teach them
not only diagnostic and repair techniques but also systematic procedures
for tool-handling and so on. They seem to learn it successfully, since
they can perform them when tested or observed. However, when they work
on cars in other settings, they usually revert to their old ways of
doing things.
