A vocational education project was undertaken to (1) design and develop a training package to train teachers and curriculum personnel in the development of instructional systems based on task lists and performance, (2) organize and conduct an institute for training teachers and curriculum personnel in the development of instructional systems based on performance and using data gathered from occupational analysis, and (3) have a pool of trained professionals for instructional development at both state and local levels. The project results are as follows: (1) A working instructional system design (ISD) model and the accompanying strategies were developed that enabled vocational personnel to apply the systems approach to designing and developing instructional programs, (2) all project activities culminated in a one-week institute (workshop) where vocational teachers, directors, supervisors, and teacher educators were trained in the system concepts and applied strategies, and (3) thirty-four vocational personnel were introduced to the ISD concepts and applied strategies. Most of this book consists of the institute training package and includes the workshop goals, schedules of activities, a bibliography, the ISD model, and workshop modules. These modules concern systems and the systems approach to instructional design, task survey, occupational analysis and performance objectives. The presentation of six sample course outlines and course of studies developed by the workshop participants concludes this document. (EM)
