Description
Summary:Improving military and industrial classroom training is extremely important because of the critical nature and high costs of this activity. This article describes the Course Evaluation System (CES) which is a diagnostic and prescriptive methodology for evaluating the quality of classroom training and suggesting remedial measures. The CES provides course managers, instructional developers and classroom instructors with the capability to pinpoint training problems and to make corrective revisions. The use of this system is intended to result in more efficient and effective training. The CES is based on the principles of systematic instructional development and on empirical work demonstrating effective instructional strategies. This methodology has been validated in several hundred applications. It consists of two major sections, the objective-test item evaluation and the instructional presentation evaluation.
