A Job Aid for Modifying Ineffective or Inefficient Training Programs

Abstract

This job aid addresses the problem of how to modify a training program when the need for changes has been identified through a Training Program Evaluation. These changes are changes to the training process rather than the subject matter of training. It is one of four job aids designed to formally evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the training process. The other three job aids in the set are: Research Product 81-15, A Job Aid for the Systematic Evaluation of Lesson Plans, Research Product 81-16, A Job Aid for the Structured Observation of Training, and Research Product 81-18, Guidelines for Conducting a Training Program Evaluation. Guidance is provided on the development of training objectives, the conduct of practice events in training, providing feedback or knowledge of results, making training more efficient, and for modifying training programs to change the training environment, lecture/ demonstration/practice events, and testing.
