The Instructional Quality Inventory (IQI): A Formative Evaluation Tool for Instructional Systems Development

Abstract

Reviewed is the development and evaluation of the instructional quality inventory (IQI), a systematic methodology for reviewing the three major products-of the Instructional Systems Design process-objectives, test items, and instruction-before conducting student tryouts. The empirically based instructional design support system aids de'velopers in choosing instructional alternatives based on cost/benefits and specific resource ' *

Analysis of Navy Technical School Training Objectives for Microcomputer Based Training Systems

“…NAVPERSRANDCEN developed a scheme for classifying objectives as part of the Instructional Quality Inventory (IQ) (Montague, Ellis, & Wulfeck, 1983). The IQI scheme classifies objectivei according to (1) what the student must do (i.e., the task the itudent must perform), and (2) the instructional content (i.e., the type of information the student must learn).…”

Linking Training Evaluation to Training Needs Assessment: A Conceptual Model

“…Thus, if the purpose(s) behind the development of an evaluation system for a particular training program is not clearly specified during the initial analysis or needs assessment phase, it is unlikely that the appropriate information will be collected to link subsequent evaluation data with training needs reassessment. Without a clear sense of purpose, modifications to enhance the quality of the training program must rely on the intuition of the people who develop the training program (Montague & Wulfeck, 1986).…”
