CODAP - An Application to Training Information System Analysis,

Abstract

In October 1980 a Fleet Management Services Team began a study of the training management systems at three of the Royal Navy's apprentice training establishments. The aim was to formulate system parameters for a computer in each establishment to replace and enhance the method of gathering, processing and retrieving information on trainee performance and training management/assessment. For budgetary reasons the project had to be completed in 13 weeks. It was considered impossible to achieve this using conventional interview/analysis processes, and a system for gathering data by questionnaire for CODAP analysis was devised. The clustering program OVLGRP proved to be a very powerful tool for information system analysis and the method adopted was successful in defining the computer record and system requirements. The project demonstrated that valid results could be obtained from a complex questionnaire and indicated that the technique may be useful in management/organisational studies generally.
