3.5.9 Prepare the Development and Implementation Schedule. Course, unit,

and lesson objectives should be organized and scheduled. A schedule should

be prepared to define the milestones for development and implementation

activities. A simple milestone bar chart (e.g., Gantt Chart) to indicate major

activities is sufficient.

The following are key considerations that should be emphasized when performing

and evaluating activities of the design process:

Training/evaluation standards contain job-related data for measuring task

performance;

Selection of training settings considers task, instructional, resource, and

logistical constraints;

Learning objectives are used to identify training content and satisfactory

trainee performance;

Learning objectives identify observable and measurable trainee action or

behavior;

Test items are appropriate for the learning objectives;

Learning objectives are compatible with expected entry-level skills and

knowledge of trainees;

Learning objectives are sequenced to assist trainees in making the transitions

from one skill or knowledge level to another;

Pretests are developed to determine trainees' entry qualifications and to

identify remedial training and exception requirements as applicable;

Progress tests are developed to evaluate trainee performance and determine

the need for additional assistance;

10.

Post-tests are developed to measure trainees' satisfactory completion of

training; and

11.

Training standards for evaluating trainee test performance are established.
