  2. Objectives • Identify the importance of evaluation in all training sessions. • Discuss a variety of strategies for evaluating learning.

  3. Importance of Evaluation • What is the value of taking time to get participant evaluation of any training session? • Gain an understanding of the participant’s perspective: * were they satisfied with the training? * did they meet the learning objectives? * the speaker/trainer? * how will they use the information? * program logistics?

  4. Evaluation Can Help • Provides trainers with good ideas for ways to improve the session. • A perspective of how useful/pertinent participants thought the information was to their work. • Validates teaching strategies. • Tells us what else may need to be reinforces or reviewed.

  5. Many Mechanisms for Evaluation • During a session: * Simple questions inserted into a presentation/session. * Show a picture and ask participants to analyze – is it being done the right way or the wrong way, what would they change? * Share a particular case scenario and ask participants what they would do.

  6. Evaluation Mechanisms • After a training session: * written evaluation – simple, easy, with space for “comments”. * Ask open-ended questions at the end so that participants can share “application” of their knowledge on the subject. * Use a post-test.

  7. Examples • Post-Test for the LTCWPP. • Post-Test for the Train the Trainer program!

  8. Post-Tests • Not a college entrance exam! • Keep the questions easy to read, multiple choice if possible. • Keep them short. • Can distribute, give participants a few minutes to complete, and do the answers as a group. • This is a learning tool, as well as an evaluation tool.

  9. Post-Test Scores • If you decide to use one after a session, you can decide if you want to record the scores. • The best outcome is everyone understands the correct answers!
