BLOCK V.2: CONDUCT EXTERNAL EVALUATION

Introduction

External evaluation is conducted in order to determine whether the output of the instruction in the form of trainees who have been sent to the field is serving the needs of the using command. The external evaluator provides the fundamental data for quality control. Those students who have met all of the instructional requirements are followed into the field either physically or by questionnaire. Performance is then determined by job performance measures, and supervisors' evaluations are taken into account.

Ideally, the external evaluator would base his conclusions principally upon actual job performance as measured by the JPMs produced in Block I.3 of the ISD model. Often, because of scheduling problems, DOS testing, and other similar difficulties, some data will have to be collected in another way.

Finally, the external evaluation report is prepared. It contains the conclusions and the data upon which the conclusions were based. Recommendations for any necessary revision are included in this report.

Rationale

External evaluation is required to be sure the graduates or completers of the instruction meet the expectations of the using command. These expectations should have been initially determined in Block I.1, ANALYZE JOB, and Block I.3, CONSTRUCT JOB PERFORMANCE MEASURES. If the job has been carefully defined, the appropriate tasks selected for instruction, and the job performance measures are consistent
