An analysis of the effectiveness evaluation process for VP antisubmarine warfare fleet replacement squadron aircrew training.

Abstract

During January 1979 VP-31, the West Cost P-3 Fleet Replacement Squadron, implemented an Instructional System Development based training program. Due to monetary, manpower, and time constraints, the evaluation phase of the new training program was not completely developed or implemented. This thesis examines the current status of the external evaluation portion of the new training program in an attempt to determine the feasibility of its completion and implementation. The external evaluation plan is related to the Interservice Procedures for Instructional System Development Model. From this analysis, a better understanding of the plan is gained and recommendations for an improved external evaluation program and training system are presented.
