Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development :
Executive Summary and Model (Continued...)
by Robert K. Branson, Gail T. Rayner and J. Lamarr Cox

Procedures

The first step in the internal evaluation function is concerned with the development of the internal evaluation plan which was required in Block IV.2. ISD procedures cannot be totally sequential. That is, having an evaluation plan prior to the conducting of instruction is necessary if appropriate student and instructor data is to be collected.

A part of the internal evaluation plan is the progress evaluation plan. The progress of the development of instruction is monitored to be sure it is consistent with the required procedures and whether or not the effort is on schedule.

A process evaluation plan is prepared in which the evaluators will check the actual procedures and outputs of each of the blocks to be sure the processes are consistent.

An extensive documentation checklist is provided so that the internal evaluator can compare the required outputs with the actual outputs of each of the blocks.

Each of the areas of student evaluation is spelled out in detail. Course requirements are compared with student entry behaviors and a number of evaluation designs are considered in order to answer specific questions about the instruction. The evaluator must determine whether the students are being given instruction on topics they have already mastered, or whether they are being given instruction for which they did not have the entry skills.

Extensive student questionnaire and instructor questionnaire data are collected to pinpoint the good and bad aspects of the instruction.
