Some determinants of the persons out come may not be in their control at all. Great Point HtherMcCu Alan you are completely right that evaluators should keep an open mind when the evaluation process is going on.

Giving a Template of some kind to get a grasp of what you are covering and then spreading it out amongst the course to refresh is a great method.

I do truly believe that the evaluations should be considerate to the employees job. There could be circumstances at times where one's productivity could be out of their control. I believe evaluations should keep that in mind. Evaluations should be ongoing, as change is always happening.

I like the ones that involve the trainer itself. Those are actually really neat. Evaluations are really vital in determining any changes or things they can better themselves on.

After training takes place, some sort of test should be used for understanding. Then after the learner has been on the job for a little while, another evaluation should take place to see if what they learned is actually being used on the job. Without these evaluations, trainers would never know if the training actually did what it was supposed to do. I found the different types of evaluations informative. I always find myself taking one of these things, and never really knew why. Now I understand that its to check and see if what I learned is really what I am applying on the job.

It is like determining what investments to make. You would not invest your money in a -3.9 APR annuity would you? Then why would you invest your money in a training program that has the same effect?

The trainers the I had for a computer company gave end of the training test to everyone before we could start the job. Out of at least 30 people 4 passed. The trainers were very disappointed and upset because they explained how much money was put into this new way of learning. I myself noticed that we did so well with the end of lecture evaluations by being ask 10 questions and passing them. The final test was nothing of what we had learned about the job. I thought was this the new way of learning? Training employees on information that they would not need then test them for chances of employment with a test that they did not recognize? This evaluation led them to use less trainers in the room per class and a different strategy.</p> Evaluating training is very necessary.

I used to think completing one of those surveys at the end of the training class was such a waste of time. Now I totally understand why that's done. It is more of a waste of time not to evaluate your training. How else would the training department know if the class was beneficial??? Hopefully, the trainer in my class was able to use the compiled data to benefit the future of the training program. I found this chapter interesting.

How are you going to know whether or not your training is working if you don't evaluate it? I personally hate a paper test at the end of a training. I learn much better with hands on training. So, things like role playing and actual mock training modules work better for me. Without evaluation, training is kind of pointless.

I never once taught to associate the cost of evaluating against the cost of not evaluating. Evaluation is essential to the growth of any company who wishes to maintain their employees and assist employees with achieving their goals, while maintaining a watchful eye on the organizational goals. It is nice to know that there are numerous ways to conduct an evaluation.
