Document Summary
Why not evaluate: risk to training department, more to lose than to gain; if objectives aren"t met, then the trainers can be blamed, top executives can take responsibility by shifting from summative to formative, formative: evaluation that judges, providing a basic summary of declarations such as program was a success in these regards and a failure in these. Nothing to evaluate : this can be applicable when training is something that people receive when its their time to get training, training is then largely a reward, this claim reflects poor training design, unnecessary and expensive, unnecessary when post training job performance is nearly always high. Types of evaluation data: outcome data: whether the training objectives were met, process data: assesses whether the intended processes of training actually occurred, did the trainees do what was required of them etc, has the most value when trainees do not learn, because it can help you diagnose why desired outcomes were not reached.
