The Course Evaluation System

Abstract
In the face of increasing pressures on the training system to increase its efficiency and effectiveness, the improvement of Navy classroom training is an important issue. This report describes the Course Evaluation System (CES) which is a prescriptive methodology for evaluating the quality of classroom training. It is designed to give course managers and instructors the capability to pinpoint problems in ineffective courses and make effective revisions. This will result in more efficient and effective training. It is based on the principles of systematic instructional development and on empirical work demonstrating effective instructional strategies and environments. The CES methodology has been validated in a number of applications. It consists of two major sections, the objective-test item evaluation and the instructional presentation evaluation. Each section contains check lists and detailed instructions for how to perform the evaluations.
