General overview of how to implement it

A SWOT analysis is a technique for identifying a subject’s internal strengths (S) and weaknesses (W), as well as external opportunities (O) and threats (T). You can utilize this information to assist you in achieving your objectives.

Conduct a SWOT analysis using the eight steps below:

1. Establish a SWOT analysis aim: To get the most out of your SWOT analysis, you should begin with a question or objective in mind.
2. Conduct research on the topic you will teach: Before conducting a SWOT analysis, you should conduct some research to gain a better understanding of your object’s surroundings. By knowing other ways that a specific course or subject is tached, you can obtain a variety of perspectives.
3. Identify and list your strengths: The first stage is to identify and list your perceived strengths.  The list does not have to be exhaustive at this level of the SWOT analysis.  Any and all ideas and thoughts are welcomed.  Step 7 is the stage at which the list is prioritized.
4. Identify your weaknesses: Make a list of the items you perceive to be your weaknesses.  Ensure that you remedy any weaknesses identified during your SWOT analysis.  The list of flaws might provide insight into how the teaching approach has evolved over time. After a year, you may discover that your flaws have been addressed.  While you may discover new vulnerabilities, the absence of previous ones indicates improvement.
5. Consider external opportunities for your subject:  These are distinct from your own strengths and are not always certain – a chance for one facet of your subject may be a threat to another.  Bear this in mind, however the same thing should not be included as an opportunity and a danger in the SWOT analysis.
6. Identify potential threats: Make a list of external elements that could pose a hazard to your object or cause it to malfunction eg showing a chemistry experiment via electronic forms will not have the same impct on students as if they do it “live”.
7. Prioritize the SWOT analysis: Once you’ve done the preceding steps, you’ll have four distinct lists. These lists should ideally be displayed side by side so that you can get a sense of the overall state of what you are examining and the issues that need to be addressed.  You can then determine which issues are most critical and which can be addressed later (i.e. develop 4 prioritised lists).
8. Create a strategy for resolving the SWOT analysis’s issues:  Conduct a review of your four prioritized lists by asking:
   • How can we leverage our strengths to seize the recognized opportunities?
   • How can we leverage these assets to overcome the identified threats?
   • What actions are necessary to address the identified vulnerabilities in order to capitalize on the opportunities?
   • How will we mitigate our vulnerabilities in order to defeat the identified threats?

After responding to these questions and finalizing your lists, you may utilize the SWOT analysis to design strategies for accomplishing your goals.
