Phase
4 - Implementation
Upon
completion of the analysis, design, and development phases, it is
time to implement the "whole" system with actual trainees.
The instructional system is "fielded" under "real
world" conditions. Data from training classes are used to further
evaluate the instructional system. Operational evaluations provide
validation data and feedback on modifications for improvement.
The
evaluation performed after training has been completed should be
designed to measure the effectiveness of the instructional program
and answer:
- Did
the trainees master the learning objectives? - This is
assessed by test scores during training, at the end of training,
or a combination thereof.
- How
well are trainees performing on the job? - This is assessed
by taking performance measurements on the job. Ideally, measurements
should be taken immediately after training and after six months
on the job.
- Can
the training be improved? - The ISD process stresses
continuing feedback and improvement to the training program.
