Week 8: Performance Evaluation & Post-Implementation Monitoring

Following the implementation of the SRH seminar, Week 8 focused on assessing the effectiveness of the instructional materials and overall seminar delivery and the usability of the manual. The evaluation of the seminar and the instructional plan was guided by Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Model, which examines the seminar's effectiveness across reaction, learning, behavior, and results. 

Level 1: Reaction

Learner feedback was collected through a Likert-scale survey assessing responses to the materials, activities, and facilitation. Results showed strong satisfaction: 19 out of 20 participants rated statements such as “The handout was easy to understand” and “The materials clearly explained sexual health topics” as “Strongly Agree.” Participants also reported that videos and group activities made the session engaging and that the facilitator created a supportive learning environment. This high level of satisfaction indicates that learners found the materials relevant, accessible, and effective in addressing sensitive SRH topics.

SK officials also rated the manual positively. Across 10 survey items, most responses were 4 (Agree) or 5 (Strongly Agree). For example, 9 of 10 officials strongly agreed they understood the steps of the instructional plan. Ratings showed that officials not only found the manual clear but also felt confident in applying it to design educational activities.

Level 2: Learning

The post-test measured comprehension of key SRH concepts. Pre-test scores ranged from 3 to 10, with a mean of 7.45. Post-test scores ranged from 6 to 10, with a mean of 9.45, reflecting a mean gain of 2 points or 26.85 percent improvement. Nineteen participants improved their scores, while one maintained a perfect score of 10. Those with lower pre-test scores (e.g., 3–4 points) showed the highest gains, indicating that the instructional materials and interactive strategies effectively addressed prior knowledge gaps. Participants with high pre-test scores maintained or slightly improved their understanding, showing reinforcement of existing knowledge.

SK officials’ survey responses confirmed a positive response in terms of the manual's usefulness. Items such as “I can adapt the instructional plan to different health or education topics” and “I can evaluate the effectiveness of programs” received high agreement, showing the instructional plan's successfully transferred knowledge and skills to the facilitators. 

Level 3: Behavior

While long-term behavioral change could not be fully measured within the one-day seminar, self-reported survey responses indicated a shift in confidence and readiness to apply learning. Statements such as “I feel more confident making informed decisions about my sexual health” and “I understand the importance of consent” received predominantly positive ratings. These responses suggest early adoption of knowledge and skills and an intention to apply them in real-life situations.

SK officials showed readiness to apply the instructional plan in collaboration with youth leaders, identify community needs, and adapt the guide to new topics. The distribution of mostly 4 and 5 ratings across all 10 items indicates that behavior change is feasible and already underway at the leadership level.

Level 4: Results (Post-Implementation Monitoring)

To assess preliminary community impact, a brief follow-up was conducted one week after the seminar. Participants were asked whether they retained key messages, shared knowledge with peers or family, and felt empowered to access reproductive health services. Several youth reported knowing where to go for services, including the barangay health center, and indicated they had discussed SRH topics with friends. These early outcomes, though anecdotal, suggest growing awareness and willingness to engage in informed decision-making at the community level.

SK officials expressed confidence in replicating the step-by-step guide for future programs. This strengthens sustainability, as trained officials can now independently use the manual to plan, implement, and evaluate similar initiatives.
