Guidelines for Conducting a Training Program Evaluation (TPE)
Abstract
Training Program Evaluation (TPE) is a systematic method for identifying and correcting training program deficiencies by collecting and analyzing information on the training objectives, soldier test performance, and the process used in training and testing the soldiers. TPE is documented in four job aids that include: (1) procedures for planning the training program evaluation; (2) guidance in using and evaluating the information provided in the lesson plans; (3) forms and procedures for observing training and testing as they are conducted; (4) methods for analyzing training, testing, and performance data in order to identify training program deficiencies; and (5) guidance in modifying training programs on the basis of problems discovered during training program evaluation. This job aid (Research Product 81-18) provides guidelines for conducting overall evaluation, including guidance on using the other three job aids. 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 81-17, A job Aid for Modifying Ineffective or Inefficient Training Programs.
