Synopsis

This is a completely revised and updated edition of Bramley's book on strategies for evaluating training effectiveness. The author shows how to plan evaluation, how to establish whether the objectives set for learning activities have been achieved and whether the needs of the "interested parties" (the stakeholders) in the evaluation have been addressed. Evaluation of trainees' reactions to learning activities is relatively easy. Evaluation of changes in behavior and changes in levels of effectiveness is much more difficult. This book shows how the effects of training can be assessed at all of these levels.
