b. Of interest to the developer is that Phase II, Analyze,
lists other documents which contain details of courses of
instruction offered by different military services. These
listings can be used to find already developed curriculum
materials which can be adapted to current training requirements.
Phase III, Design, and Phase IV, Develop, describe in detail the
process of generating new curricula or revising existing
materials. Phases V and VI, Implement and Control, form the
basis of training supervisor's management techniques and are
described in NAVEDTRA 135B, NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL.

704. Instructional Systems Development (ISD) Process. The first
step in the ISD process is to determine, statistically if
possible, whether or not development or revision is actually
necessary. After the need to revise or develop a course has been
validated and specific requirements have been identified, confirm
that there are no existing training materials or portions thereof
that will satisfy the requirement. Evaluate existing
instructional materials to determine if some or all of their
content is usable. Use as much of existing materials as
possible. Next, proceed with the ISD process by using the
following steps:
a. Develop Terminal and Enabling Objectives. This is a
mandatory step for developing new materials. It is optional for
course revisions but careful scrutiny of existing objectives
should be accomplished to ensure applicability and also ensure
that all existing objectives are still necessary. Refer to
NAVEDTRA 130, Chapter 4, for guidelines on terminal and learning
objectives, along with planning, analyzing, designing, and
developing training materials.
b. Develop Test Items. Some individuals prefer to develop
the test items before the objectives because it points the
direction the objectives should take. All instruction is
designed to produce a desired behavior, so it is important that
test items measure what they are supposed to measure. Each test
item should be identified by the Terminal/Enabling Objective
number that it is designed to test. This helps to provide an
audit trail and assists in the validation process. Refer to
NAVEDTRA 130, Chapter 8, Develop Phase, for detailed directions
on developing test items.
c. Develop the Instructor Guide (IG). A well designed IG
ensures each student has the same opportunity to receive the same
instruction as every other student. The IG consists of three
parts, Front Matter, Lesson Plan, and Outline of Instruction.
Specific information concerning contents of the IG is found in
