Formative Assessment Formative assessments or evaluations are helpful during the instructional design process by providing feedback in order “to make improvements to the instruction before it is completely developed” (Brown & Green, 2011, pg. 162).
Summative Assessment Reactions – Assessing the learner’s reaction to training. � Learning – Assessing if the learner’s knowledge, skills, and attitude were changed. � Transfer – Assessing if the learner’s new knowledge, skills, and attitude are being used in the real world. � Results – Assessing if this is training is effective for the business (i. e. sales, productivity, etc. ) �
What is Being Evaluated? Knowledge Skills Attitude
Evaluation Instruments � Questionnaire › Uses a rating scale to assess themselves: �One at the beginning of the training �One 30 days after the training � Survey › Uses open-ended questions to assess the training: �One at the end of the training �One 30 days after the training
The Future of the Training What are the results? What is the cost?
