What Questions May be Addressed by this Measure?
This instrument is used to get a rough measure of the participants’
feelings about the training at around the mid-point of the training.
How Do I Use This Measure?
This tool is most useful for multi-day training sessions. Administer
it near the end of the middle point of the training. For example,
if training is a total of two (2) days, collect information at the
end of the first day. You will want to think through issues of confidentiality.
How to score: These items are qualitative and should be
reviewed for emergent patterns in the responses from the participants.
Look for likes, dislike, and suggestions.
A note about Reliability and Validity: The instrument has
some face validity.
What Information Will the Results Give Me?
Use the information to identify things that were frustrating to
training attendees. Select those you can do something about and
do it. For example, if there are complaints about the lack of breaks,
review the remainder of your training schedule and juggle as needed
so as to incorporate more or longer breaks. Let participants know
what you intend to do. Those areas you are unable to do anything
about (e.g., temperature, amount of material that needs to be covered),
acknowledge the frustrations and offer explanations. Lastly, for
things identified as positive, share this as well; it is always
good to know what is going well.
