Definition of a “Task”

"Task" is defined as a psychomotor or cognitive entry-level learning activity consisting of one or

more measurable steps accomplished through an instructor presentation, demonstration, visualization or a student application.

DETERMINE NECESSARY ACTION

Indicates that the diagnostic routine(s) is the primary

emphasis of a task. The student is required to perform the

diagnostic steps and communicate the diagnostic outcomes

and corrective actions required addressing the concern or

problem. The training program determines the communication

method (worksheet, test, verbal communication, or other

means deemed appropriate) and whether the corrective

procedures for these tasks are actually performed.

PERFORM NECESSARY ACTION

Indicates that the student is to perform the diagnostic

routine(s) and perform the corrective action item. Where

various scenarios (conditions or situations) are

presented in a single task, at least one of the scenarios

must be accomplished.
