2. Needs analysis: purposes 3. Needs analysis framework


What  do  we  need  to  consider  when  conducting  needs  analysis?    
Graves  (200o,  p.  101)  .    
1.  What  information  does  it  gather?    
2.  Who  is  involved  and  why?    
3.  What  skills  are  necessary  to  carry  it  out?  Is  preparation  
needed?  In  other  words,  are  the  students  familiar  with  this  
type  of  activity  or  do  they  have  to  be  taught  how  to  do  it?  
4.  Is  the  activity  feasible  given  the  level  and  number  of  your  
students?  How  could  you  adapt  it?    
5.  Is  the  activity  focused  only  on  gathering  information  which  
you  will  analyze  or  does  it  also  ask  students  to  
•  identify  problems  and  solutions?    
•  identify  priorities?    
6.  How  will  the  teachers  and  learners  use  this  information?    
Excerpted  from  Graves  (2001)

•  TSA = TARGET SITUATION ANALYSIS
•  a needs analysis which focuses on students’needs at

of TSA and PSA.

weaknesses“
 
•  Sources of information for PSA
