LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT (LDNA) REPORT

I. Background and Rationale

The Learning and Development Needs Assessment (LDNA) is a crucial process


being conducted among teachers to identify and address their learning needs.
This assessment is being carried out in a public elementary school during the
school year 2023-2024, as part of the school's commitment to providing quality,
equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education. The purpose of LDNA
is to systematically examine performance gaps, identify, understand, and
prioritize the learning needs of teachers, and develop meaningful school
improvement plans. There are several reasons in holding an LDNA among
teachers. Firstly, this kind of assessment helps the teacher identify their specific
learning needs, which wil allow them to develop individual and group learning
strategies to improve their teaching skills and enhance student outcomes. In
addition, it promotes a culture of learning that encourages continuous
professional development among teachers, fostering a learning environment that
is essential for personal and professional growth.
In conclusion, conducting LDNA among teachers is vital for promoting a
learning culture, addressing individual and group learning needs, improving
teaching practices, and supporting diverse learners. By implementing LDNA in
public elementary schools, the school can work towards creating a more
inclusive and equitable learning environment for all students.

II. Objectives of the LDNA

Answers the question: What does this LDNA hope to accomplish?


Specify the objectives of the LDNA as stated in the LDNA Plan.

III. Methodology

Answers the question: How was data collected? Who were the data sources?
Page 2 of 3

Discuss the process and tools employed in gathering data on learning needs.
This may include documents, review, surveys, interviews and/or focus group
discussions, among others. Describe the key features of the assessment tools
used (number of items, rating scale, etc.). Explain your efforts at ensuring the
validity and reliability of the tools.
Provide information about the respondents in data collection activity/ies. A
general profile highlighting experience related to the competency/ies being
assessed would be helpful in contextualizing the discussion of findings in the
subsequent section.
Include as well as the methodologies used in validating data.
Remember to attach the assessment tool/s used as annex/es to the report.

IV. Limitations of the LDNA

Answers the question: What factors related to the LDNA design or


methodology may have affected the results of the study or influenced the
interpretation of the findings?
Identify constraints in data collection that may render data to be less accurate,
generalizable, or representative of actual conditions or practice. If possible,
indicate the impact of these constraints on the validity of data and its analysis.
Some examples of limitations include inability to gather data representative of
all perspectives, problems in the design of tools used, skewed sampling of
population, inability to generate a quantitative data, among others.

V. Assessment Results

Answers the question: What were the results of the learning needs analysis?
What do the findings indicate in terms of competency gaps among prospective
learners?
Present the data collected during the needs assessment. Start with the overall
level of competency then proceed with a more detailed analysis of
competencies. Establish trends or patterns that can be drawn from the data.
Validate data from other sources to confirm results and ensure accuracy.
Highlight competency gaps emerging from the data.
If non-competency related factors (e.g. lack of adequate staff, lack of resources,
etc.) were identified, present this data as well. However, emphasize that
performance problems resulting from these issues are not indicative of lack of

competencies among job holders.


Organize data in charts and graphs to make the data easier to understand and
analyze. The detailed tabulation of findings can be included as an annex to the
report for ready reference.

VI. Conclusions

Answers the question: What are the key findings of the learning needs
assessment? What are the implications on subsequent L&D subsystems?
Summarize significant findings on development needs. Identify factors that
need to be considered in planning and designing responsive L&d programs.
Highlight, for example: peculiar characteristics of target job holders, focus
areas, proposed approaches, timing, and factors that may affect workplace
application, among others.

VII. Appendices

Attach relevant information or documents to support the LDNA report, such as:
the approved LDNA Plan; LDNA Performance and Competency Gap Summary
Worksheet; templates, forms and correspondence; attendance sheets; videos and
pictures, if applicable.
