Evaluation Tooklit - Draft

Please find below the draft cluster Evaluation Toolkit. Feedback on the draft is welcome.

The toolkit provides a range of different tools that can be used. Evaluation is a necessary part of training. This document outlines a range of options for immediate post training evaluation. The evaluation of training needs, evaluation of the trainee’s beginning level (or comfortability) of trainees, as well as evaluation after the workshop, also need to be considered.

Post training evaluation tools like those here are the most effective way of:

  • Assessing satisfaction with the workshop.
  • Determining what the trainees learned.
  • Ensuring reflection time on their learning during the Workshop. This can also be used in conjunction with the development or completion of post-training personal action plans.
  • Gaining feedback in an organized manner, to help with future training planning.
  • Ensuring trainees have a follow-up plan for their training with appropriate actions to apply, improve, develop and reinforce the attitudes, knowledge or skills learnt.

    • The training literature suggests that the mean of two question – “satisfaction” and “recommend to others” – in comparison to the mean of all other questions, can be used to check internal validity.

    The tools are designed to be used together and their use depends on the training you are undertaking. The following evaluation tools are now available:

    1. Evaluation Questionnaire. (Knowledge / Skills Learnt)
    2. Evaluation Questionnaire. (New Knowledge)
    3. Standard Training / Trainer Evaluation
    4. Workshop with several trainers
    5. Standard Satisfaction 1 Survey
    6. Standard Satisfaction 2 Survey
    7. Brief descriptive feeling-oriented evaluation
    8. Workshop Content Evaluation
    9. Standard Facility / Misc. Questions
    10. Post-training Actions
    11. Post-training – your take-home sheet
