03.23.15 IDentifying Goals

Today is the day. I tried so hard to prepare but in the end I still wasn't ready. This is the day we had to make an instructional design!

I expected it to be hard, and I was right. But what matters is that I finished it and was able to make the design as concise and clear as possible. In the process of making the instructional design, the main thing going on in my mind was “what should I do first for my client?” I kept repeating this question over and over until I came up with actually making tangible objectives that I know I can evaluate with my patient. It was a little hard for me to make the objectives since I want to make it right not only for me but also for my patient. And it even further makes me realize that making the modules or power points or the day’s lecture would be difficult for a professor or instructor and they have to do it (almost) every day.

I think that this instructional design would help us not only in the academe but also in managing activities that we would teach our clients. This helps us in setting a desired goal as well as being able to objectively see the progress and just subjectively. This activity also helps us organize our thoughts in determining which activity comes first or works hand-in-hand with other activities.


For my future self and practice, I would suggest to practice! Also, I would suggest to organize my thoughts as it gets clouded with anxiety and stress whenever I couldn't think of what to do or write. I also would recommend to keep the patient’s attitude and interest first. Lastly, I would suggest to be better than prepared, be very prepared!
