Key Considerations - hdbk10780051

DOE-HDBK-1078-94

Trainee evaluations should be reviewed to detect errors in the presentation,

materials, or media that may or may not be apparent to the program developer

or instructor. Final materials should be approved by the cognizant training and

referent organization management.

The following are key considerations that should be emphasized when performing and

evaluating activities of the development process:

Training methods are appropriate to the training setting and learning activities;

Training events define the structure and sequence of learning;

Learning activities are derived from the learning objectives;

Lesson plans provide a structured approach for conducting consistent training;

The learning objectives guide the evaluation of existing training material;

Development of new training materials is guided by the learning objectives, the

learning activities, and the expected trainee entry-level skills and knowledge;

and

Data, acquired during tryout of the training materials, are used to determine

technical accuracy and training effectiveness, and guide any needed revisions.
