The P in P.A.D.D.I.E. corresponds to which phase?

• A. Planning
• B. Analyzing
• C. Designing
• D. Implementing

Answer: (A)

The P stands for Planning, which is the initial phase where you set up the project by defining the goals, scope, constraints, resources, and timeline, and lay out how success will be measured. This planning step establishes the foundation for everything that follows, so you know what you’re aiming to achieve and how you’ll approach it before you dive into analyzing needs or designing solutions. In practice, planning answers questions like what problem the training should solve, who the learners are, what constraints exist (time, budget, technology), and how you’ll determine whether the training worked. Once planning is in place, you move on to analyzing learner needs and performance gaps, then to designing the instructional approach, developing the materials, implementing the solution, and finally evaluating its impact.
