At the end of this unit, you should be able to: 

• Explain the role of the different bases for evaluating trainee performance;

• Demonstrate the procedures in drafting a performance evaluation tools;

• Discuss the importance of evaluating the program; and

• Enumerate the tools for evaluating the WB training program.

Introduction

Evaluating the performance of the trainees and the program should be done to have a complete overview of how the training went. It will also provide you with information that you can use in determining the effectiveness of the training program.

Meanwhile, assessing the program will help you identify the areas to be improved with regards the delivery of the program and your partnership with the enterprise.

Topic 1: Bases for Evaluating the Performance of Trainees

Evaluating the performance of trainees includes measuring their progress and providing performance feedback. Evaluation should be regularly done during and at the completion of the training program. This can be done by reviewing the following:

• Trainee’s Progress Sheet accomplished by the training supervisor and monitored by the trainer or by the industry coordinator of the training institution

• Trainee’s Record Book monitored by the training supervisor

• OJT Journal accomplished by the trainees

• Performance evaluation sheet

• Trainee assessment results

As a trainer, it is important that you know the basics of crafting an effective evaluation tool. This is to ensure that you will get the results you need from the assessment.

The following items should be included in your the performance evaluation tool:

• Training details (name of trainee and trainer, duration of the training and the enterprise or industry)

• Direction or rating mechanics

• Criteria (competencies to be obtained)

• General evaluation

• Observation from the on-site supervisor (strengths and weaknesses of the trainee)

Tips for Preparing a Performance Evaluation Tool

The following are important tips to be observed when creating an evaluation tool:

• Arrange items logically.

• State the mechanics clearly and briefly.

• Place items that require shorter answers at the beginning.

• Group items according to their response format (rating and short answers)

• Use section titles to help the respondents identify the area of focus.

Introduction

Program evaluation can be done during and after its implementation. This should involve every concerned personnel and key players to make sure that the results are holistic and as accurate as possible. 

This lesson will present the importance of evaluating the program and the common measures you can apply when evaluating the training program.
