Environmental Analysis

Accommodate organizational climate, physical factors, and socio-cultural climate to determine how these factors affect the problem.

Learner Analysis

Identify learner/trainee/employee characteristics and individual differences that may impact on learning / performance, such as prior knowledge, personality variables, aptitude variables, and cognitive styles.
