3-face assesment model

Regarding this model, I think it is a helpful process that allows us to re-evaluate existing learning instructions. However, there one problem appeared when we try to apply this model in the taxi drivers’ case. It is easy to determine the problems but we do need some discussion before we can decide whether this problem is caused by the learning process. It could be the drivers’ attitude that causes this situation, but reading the newspaper alone it is hard to determine that since we have no personal contact with the drivers and we could only analyze the article. Hence, we assume that it is caused by learning problems since the companies insist to use road safety courses to solve this problem. However, it is easier to proceed to the following steps when we decided that it should follow the discrepancy model. The problem exist may be simple because we do not have sufficient information in our hands regarding the situation. In my opinion, this model could be very useful, but we need to do appropriate research in order to gain the most benefit from it.

i agree, most of the time, it is pretty difficult to identify the problems just by reading the case studies. unless one has close contact or is involve in the case study, then can one know the change in the need assessment better.
