  • Alternative assessment. Describes evaluation instruments and procedures other than objective-style tests; includes the evaluation of live performances, products, and attitudes; format includes directions for the learner and a scoring rubric.
  • ARCS model. Keller's theory of motivation: attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction.
  • Assessment-centered criteria. Test or item criteria used to judge item writing qualities such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity, parsimony, and the use of recommended item formatting rules.
  • Assessment instruments. Materials developed and used to assess learners' status and progress in both achievement and attitudes. For achievement, objective tests, product development activities, and live performances are included. For attitudes, both observation and self-report techniques are included.
  • Attitude. An internal state that influences an individual's choices or decisions to act under certain circumstances. Attitudes represent a tendency to respond in a particular way.
  • Authentic assessment. Assessment in meaningful real-life contexts (or simulations thereof) in which newly acquired skills will ultimately be applied.
  • Behavior. An action that is an overt, observable, measurable performance.
  • Behavioral objective. See Objective.
  • Blended learning. At its most basic, it is a combination of any two or more learning environments. In common practice, it is typically a combination of web-based and classroom instruction in the same course or training program.
  • Candidate media. Those media that can present the desired information, without regard to which may be the most effective. The distinction is from noncandidate media. A book, for example, cannot present sound and thus would be an inappropriate choice for delivering instruction for certain objectives.
  • Chunk of instruction. All the instruction required to teach one objective or a combination of two or more objectives.
  • Cluster analysis. A technique used with goals in the verbal information domain to identify the specific information needed to achieve the goal and the ways that information can best be organized or grouped.
  • Cognitive flexibility. The ability to adapt and change one's mental organization of knowledge and mental management of solution strategies for solving new, unexpected problems.
  • Cognitive load. The amount of information that a person can manage in working (short-term) memory while participating in a learning activity. The theory predicts detrimental effects on learning and retention from instructional content that is either too much or too complex.
  • Cognitive maps. The graphical representation of how conceptual knowledge is structured (e.g., flowcharts, hierarchies, circles, spider webs).
  • Cognitive strategy. Metaprocesses used by an individual to manage how he or she thinks about things in order to ensure personal learning.
  • Cognitive task analysis. Method of identifying the information and skills required to perform complex tasks. Uses rigorous observation and interview protocols to access the required information from an expert.

  • Complex goal. A goal that involves more than one domain of learning.
  • Concept. A set of objects, events, symbols, situations, and so on, that can be grouped together on the basis of one or more shared characteristics and given a common identifying label or symbol. Concept learning refers to the capacity to identify members of the concept category.
  • Conditions. A main component of a performance objective that specifies the circumstances and materials required in the assessment of the learners' mastery of the objective.
  • Congruence analysis. Analyzing the congruence among (1) an organization's stated needs and goals and those addressed in candidate instruction; (2) an organization's target learners' entry skills and characteristics and those for which candidate materials are intended; and (3) an organization's resources and those required for obtaining and implementing candidate instruction. It is conducted during the expert judgment phase of summative evaluation.
  • Constructivism. A learning theory in which learning is viewed as an internal process of constructing meaning by combining existing knowledge with new knowledge gained through experiences in the social, cultural, and physical world. Constructivism emphasizes the processes and social interactions in which a student engages for learning.

  • Hierarchical analysis. A technique used with goals in the intellectual skills domain to identify the critical subordinate skills needed to achieve the goal and their interrelationships. For each subordinate skill in the analysis, this involves asking, "What must the student know how to do in order to learn the specific subskills being considered?"
  • Human performance technology. Setting instructional goals in response to problems or opportunities within an organization.
