Slide 17 Identify and describe elements underpinning the Toolbox project MRA – critical element underpinning whole project: Ensures standard/quality of training and those who have been trained across all AMS Ensures recognition of qualifications by all AMS Allows ease of movement of qualified professionals between AMS Encourages exchange of vocational training information between AMS Enhances conformity to Competency Based principles (Continued) Slide 18 Identify and describe elements underpinning the Toolbox project Those who hold a qualification of a recognised Foreign Tourism Professional may be eligible to work in another AMS country Eligibility will still be subject to prevailing domestic laws and regulations TPCB has recognised over 30 job titles for this purpose across all 6 Labour Divisions. Slide 19 Identify and describe elements underpinning the Toolbox project RPL: Enables those with skills to gain formal qualifications regardless of how those skills were gained Successful RPL application gives ‘advanced standing’ towards a recognised qualification under the Qualifications Framework. Slide 20 Identify and describe elements underpinning the Toolbox project Regional Secretariat: Flows from MRA Manages/monitors Tourism Professionals in the region Serves to oversee activities at regional level including ATPRS and ATPMC. Slide 21 Define CBT and CBA ‘Competency’: Refers to the ability to perform particular tasks and duties to the standard of performance expected in the workplace Includes separately or in combination: • ‘Knowledge’ • ‘Skills’ • ‘Attitudes’ (Continued) Slide 22 Define CBT and CBA Covers all aspects of work performance and includes • Performing tasks • Managing tasks • Responding to contingencies • Dealing with workplace responsibilities • Working with others. Slide 23 Define CBT and CBA CBT: Evolved from mid-1900s from America Now recognised as best vocational training method Emphasises ability to demonstrate competency as opposed to completing a training course/program. Slide 24 Define CBT and CBA CBT: Requires ability to perform Is not time-based Measures outcomes against a Competency Standard Is industry-relevant (Continued) Slide 25 Define CBT and CBA Based on CATC for required skills Includes concept of RPL Incorporates learning strategies and materials via the Toolboxes Uses RQFSRS as the system for recognition of skills and knowledge. Slide 26 Define CBT and CBA CBA: There must be CBA for there to be effective CBT CBA does not exist on its own Results are ‘Competent’ or ‘Not Yet Competent’ not ‘Pass/Fail’ or percentage. Slide 27 Define CBT and CBA CBA: Is a process of gathering evidence to make a judgement of competency based against a prescribed standard Evidence/proof may be obtained from variety of sources such as: • Observations of work/actions • Reports from supervisors/others regarding performance • Sighting examples of work done. Slide 28 Define CBT and CBA To be ‘Competent’ candidate must demonstrate they can: Perform at acceptable skill level Organise required tasks Respond/react appropriately when things go wrong Fill a workplace role as required Transfer skills/knowledge to new situations. Slide 29 Define CBT and CBA Principles of CBA: Fairness Reasonable adjustment Reliability Flexibility Validity. Slide 30 Define CBT and CBA ‘Evidence rules’ – evidence must be: Valid Sufficient Authentic Current. Slide 31 Define CBT and CBA Overview of CBT and CBA: Job analysis is basis of competency Focus of training is performance of competency Trainees have access to competency statements, standards required and assessment to be used Assessment is appropriate to competency Results related to competency achieved Detailed records are maintained.

Slide 108 Element 2 – Implement training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Performance Criteria for this Element are: Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Evaluate ASEAN training delivery. Slide 109 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Planning and preparation are essential: It must precede all training – it must never be ignored, forgotten or overlooked Success of most training is determined before the Trainer enters the training room “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” Preparation generates confidence. Slide 110 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Start with reviewing the Competency Standard – to: Find out what the Unit is about Get a ‘feel’ for the Unit Make sure all requirements are covered See how the Unit fits with other training. Slide 111 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Key review activities: Obtain soft and hard copy of Competency Standard Read and re-read – take notes Identify nominal hours Determine the basic data (unit name and number) (Continued) Slide 112 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Look at ‘Unit Variables’ detail/information Note assessment requirements Consider ‘Linkages to other units’ Reflect on ‘Resources required’ Factor in ‘Key Competencies’. Slide 113 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard After the review: Talk to the Training Provider and ask them relevant questions Talk to previous Trainers Talk to the Assessor/s Talk to industry representatives. Slide 114 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Resources which may need to be obtained, prepared or acquired will include: Generic resources Competency-specific resources. Slide 115 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Determining resources required: Read Competency Standard Visit training area and view facilities Ask previous Trainers for their materials Visit industry and request their resources Check library. Slide 116 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Important considerations regarding resources: Host country legislation must be obtained and complied with Must be industry-relevant Must be sufficient Must be safe Must reflect current use/practice. Slide 117 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Trainers are free to select whatever blend of training methods/strategies they want – important considerations are: Selected options should reflect known learner styles/preferences Appropriate to nature of the Competency Standard Must accommodate known delivery parameters (Continued) Slide 118 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Must address assessment requirements Should feature/introduce diversity Must accommodate all learners Will need to support availability of physical resources Will reflect Trainer style and preference/s. Slide 119 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Different training delivery methods/strategies have different applicability for: Skill Knowledge Attitude. Slide 120 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Demonstration: Most popular method for hospitality training activities Very successful in situations where the trainees have to learn a new skill that can be broken down into steps: 1) Give a short spoken overview of the whole skill 2) Demonstrate the whole skill silently and at normal speed 3) Demonstrate again, slowly, and describe each step 4) Check that the trainees understand any new information 5) Observe the trainees as they perform the skill 6) Check that the trainees’ performance meets the appropriate standards. Slide 121 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Brainstorming: A very effective method to generate ideas about a topic or for problem solving You need a recorder All ideas are recorded so the participants can see them There is no judgment of the ideas generated Engages all participants. Slide 122 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Role play: Acting out a situation A great learning tool for training hospitality and tourism employees, particularly for customer service situations Role plays can be structured and non-structured Observers can have checklists to provide constructive feedback A debrief should be held to highlight the learning points of the role play. Slide 123 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Case Study: Based on real life situation, or Designed scenarios or problems that are to be worked through by the trainee Questions need to be developed to guide the user through the issue Good for problem solving, decision making, developing analytical skills Case studies should include a debrief. Slide 124 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Group discussion: A discussion between trainees around a set topic or issue Learners discuss and record the group’s thoughts and answers to questions asked Group may have a recorder and a spokesperson Good for increasing understanding Involves all trainees. Slide 125 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Questioning: Trainer asks prepared questions Trainees ask trainer the question Written or oral Questions should be structured to probe learner understanding Used for clarification, understanding and assessment. Slide 126 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Techniques in effective questioning: Ask correct question/s Ask questions correctly: Put the question to the whole group Pause Nominate someone to answer Pause Respond warmly/encouragingly, or Redirect the question (Continued) Slide 127 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Use a mix of question types: • Open and closed questions • Target and probe questions • Hypothetical and settler questions Avoid: • Asking multi-questions • Asking ‘leading’ questions. Slide 128 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Finally: Check out the information on different training methods as presented in the Trainer Guide Trainer needs to be competent in skills they demonstrate or use a Guest Speaker or Subject Expert. Slide 129 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Training parameters need to be determined as imposed/required by: Training Provider Employer/s Students/learners. Slide 130 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Training Provider parameters: Number of students Hours allocated Training location Budget Documentation to be completed Need to align training with nominated requirements. Slide 131 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Parameters which may be imposed by employers: Training/content Trainees available Time/days of training Availability of resources Access to areas. Slide 132 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Student-imposed parameters may include: Their existing/previous knowledge and skills Individual differences Special needs Availability Capacity to pay. Slide 133 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Need to identify learner numbers because it: Will impact delivery techniques chosen Will affect resources required Will influence training venue used Helps mentally prepare the Trainer. Slide 134 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Training Providers: May set maximum numbers for sessions – for example: • Theory = 25 • Practical = 16 (depends on equipment & safety) May require a minimum number before the class will run. Slide 135 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Determining class numbers: Training Provider will advise Trainers may be required to recruit learners. Slide 136 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard ‘Learner profile’ can impact selection of training methods & other planning issues and embraces/refers to: Age and gender of students Language skills Experience and ability Individual preferences for learning Special needs. Slide 137 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Ways to determine learner profiles: Undertake pre-entry testing Meet and talk to students prior to starting training Talk to workplace supervisors regarding skill levels of trainees Include mandatory questions on enrolment forms Apply TNA. Slide 138 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Where TNA is used: ‘Training gap’ forms the basis of training to be delivered There may be no requirement for other parts of the Competency Standard to be delivered RPL may be sought. Slide 139 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Standard practice when planning delivery of vocational training using Competency Standards is to develop/write: A learning/training plan A learning/training program Session plans. Slide 140 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard The Learning/training plan: Draws together relevant information from different sources – Training Provider; Competency Standard; Industry/employer; Students/learners Provides a checklist to ensure all detail in relation to planning/preparation has been covered Is a summary document. Slide 141 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Learning/training program is: A series of individual training sessions A sequence of training events. Slide 142 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Sections or headings of Learning/training program: Delivery schedule Content Delivery methods to be used Assessment linkages Resources available to be used. Slide 143 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Session plans: May be known as ‘lesson plan’ Detail each session in the learning/training program One per lesson/session Are planning intended only for use by the Trainer Can contain anything the Trainer wants to include May be based on one of several templates. Slide 144 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Planning of delivery of training must integrate principles of adult learning which: Motivate learners Build on existing knowledge/skills Assist learners Refer/relate to previous experience/s Help learners develop (Continued) Slide 145 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard ‘Explain’ rather than ‘impose’ Help transfer of learning Are work-relevant Are ‘active’ rather than ‘passive’ Match/reflect known learner styles/preferences Reflect what happens in the workplace (Continued) Slide 146 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Are safe and legally compliant Feature ‘practice’ and ‘reinforcement’ Allow for and provide feedback Reduce/eliminate barriers to learning Relate directly to Competency Standards Relate directly to the assessment to be applied. Slide 147 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard How individuals learn: • • • • They start by ‘thinking’ to themselves about a topic, issue or problem They progress to ‘exploration’ which involves talking, discussing and active listening This then moves to ‘crystallisation’ which involves reading, writing and watching The next stage is ‘action’ characterised by doing and practice. Slide 148 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Scheduling of training = timetabling: Refers to dates and times … but note: • CBT is not time-based • ‘Nominal Hours’ may not be provided Gives start and finish times – and often a venue (Continued) Slide 149 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard May be conducted: • Any time • Any day Influenced by: • Availability of resources & learners/their preferences • Public holidays • Levels of trade at workplaces. Slide 150 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Basic options for readying resources for training delivery: Preparing/producing them yourself Revising/up-dating existing materials Using things again which have previously been used and found to be effective. Slide 151 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Essential requirements for trainer-produced resources: Must reflect individual student need Must address individual workplace need Must be current, comprehensive and accurate Must respond to identified special needs Must reflect requirements of the Competency Standard Must be created ‘within budget’ Should be able to be re-used. Slide 152 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Preparing chalk or white boards: Obtain and clean boards Write up content before class arrives – cover (if required) so they cannot see until required Obtain chalk or markers – make sure markers are for white boards: do not use ‘Permanent’ markers Obtain dusters and/or other cleaning materials. Slide 153 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Preparing to use OHPs: Obtain and position – get a spare globe Test run the projector – focus it Make sure required sheets have been prepared Have a Plan B in case OHP cannot be used Practice using the projector. Slide 154 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Further points on use of OHP: Colour can be used (different coloured OHP pens) ‘Fold out’ disclosures can be a feature Decide on ‘permanent’ or ‘nonpermanent’ pens Frames can be used to prevent ‘curling’ It is possible to photocopy onto acetate sheets (Continued) Slide 155 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard May be hand-drawn/written directly on to acetate sheets Can be computer-generated, printed and then photocopied onto acetate sheets Do not over-crowd each acetate sheet – use more sheets with less information on each sheet. Slide 156 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Using ‘actual things’: Very effective The ‘real thing’ should be used whenever possible Creates excitement and interests Acts as a good motivator Make sure you know all about the item/sample. Slide 157 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Preparing/using projects and exercises: Useful as reinforcement and drill Should progress from ‘simple’ to ‘complex’ Make sure you (as the Trainer) have answers to the questions/exercises Must be relevant (Continued) Slide 158 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Use relevant terms, phrases, references and abbreviations to give realism Use actual workplace documents if possible Determine in advance if they will be done as ‘individual’ or ‘group’ work Are useful as a way of giving rest of class something to do when you are doing something else with a student. Slide 159 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Preparing/using videos/DVDs: There are some very good commercially-prepared ones Learn how to use the equipment competently Position screen/monitor so all can see it Cue it up before class arrives Make sure you have previewed it Consider preparing a Question Sheet to guide the class as/after they view it. Slide 160 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard ‘Demonstrations’: Make sure all necessary items for the demo are present and ready to use Check equipment works as required/expected and is safe to use Consider preparing written instructions to distribute to class to illustrate/supplement the demo. Slide 161 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Using ‘handouts’ for the training: Useful to make certain trainees have ‘got the facts’ Many/most H/Os are computergenerated Consider using ‘skeletal’ handouts Keep language simple/appropriate & factor in literacy skills of students Up-date them regularly/as required. Slide 162 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Using ‘Guest Speakers’: Can be very effective … or a disaster Provide a ‘new face’ for trainees Trainees generally learn well from them (Continued) Slide 163 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Can be sourced from inside the Training Provider, industry generally or a specific workplace or a government agency They are a legitimate way of delivering training Lots of planning, organisation and liaison required to make Guest Speakers work effectively They should be introduced, allowed to talk/demonstrate and a ‘Q&A’ session should be included. Slide 164 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Options for acquiring training resources: Buy them Ask suppliers to donate them – especially suppliers/manufacturers who supply industry Request donation/loan from industry Share with others Seek government funding. Slide 165 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Organising the physical environment for training: Book the room/venue Make sure it is clean/ready for use Position tables, chairs and equipment Adjust AC if needed/where possible (Continued) Slide 166 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard Lights are working Video/DVDs have been cued Noise/distractions minimised/eliminated Catering organised Required resources have been checked and ready to use (as ordered for the session) Slide 167 Plan and prepare for delivery of an ASEAN Competency Standard If delivering a session in a new venue or off-site: Find out what they have available there is terms of resources and equipment Determine where the basics are – switches, lights, emergency exits, projection equipment, screens and monitors Get a ‘feel’ for the area/room Never assume what you want/need will be there – even if you asked for it to be provided. Slide 168 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard When delivering training the plans must be followed to: Give you confidence in what you are doing Allow/enable set-up of the training venue as required Give optimum benefit to students Ensure training is delivered on time and within budget (Continued) Slide 169 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Make sure all required content is covered Make proper/efficient use of all resources ordered/prepared for the training Arrangements made with other people in relation to training can be honoured. Slide 170 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard It is important to note: There will ALWAYS be times when following the plan is not possible There will always be unexpected and unplanned issues which will impact on training delivery Action will need to be taken to accommodate these situations. Slide 171 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Issues which can impact training delivery: Late arrival (or non-arrival) of learners Equipment breakdown or power failure Learners having difficulty with the content being presented Plans not working or otherwise not being able to be implemented. Slide 172 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Responding to issues arising: Action must always be taken when a situation is identified – it should never be ignored Take whatever action can be taken before the next session – never leave things to the ‘Evaluation’ stage A combination of approaches is usually needed – see next slide. Slide 173 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Action to address issues: Spend time with students out-ofclass Schedule another training session Adjust subsequent plans: • Change proposed delivery methods/strategies • Revise/amend content to be provided. Slide 174 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Use of TG in training delivery: Is very limited – it is more of a planning document Can be used to remind of CBT requirements and various training options Provides copy of the Competency Standard for reference purposes Gives instructions on using PPTs. Slide 175 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Use of TM in training delivery – Session 1: Distribute to class & advise it is theirs to keep Allow time for them to skim through it Explain basics of CBT and CBA Discuss contents and use of the TM as a training and assessment resource Present and explain Glossary Highlight ‘Recommended Reading’ section. Slide 176 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard On-going use of TM in training delivery: As sole reference To support PPTs For private study out-of-class. Encourage completion and return of ‘Trainee Evaluation Sheets’. Slide 177 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Background to use of PPTs: Provided for all Competency Standards Their use is not mandatory Can choose to use some or none Can add to or change the slides. Slide 178 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Prior to training if using PPT slides: Obtain copy of slides/presentation Pre-read/preview the slides Liaise with Assessor regarding assessment for the unit (Continued) Slide 179 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Take whatever action is needed to enable selected Classroom Activities to be used Obtain data projector, screen and pointer Practice using the data projector to gain competency. Slide 180 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Using the slide presentation in training: Arrive early and set up the presentation so it is ready to use when needed Screen selected slides: • In correct/required order • Including additional slides as required • Verbally explaining/expanding on each one. Slide 181 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Classroom Activities vary between Units but can include: Discussions and group work Guest Speakers and excursions Handouts and internet research Demonstrations and practical work Role plays. Slide 182 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Use of Classroom Activities in training delivery: Is not compulsory They are provided as suggestions to enhance learning They can be changed, ignored or replaced with alternate techniques/strategies. Slide 183 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Use of chalk &/or white boards during training: Always put detail into handouts Write BIG Do not write and talk at the same time Tell students what to do Practice. Slide 184 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard When using OHPs during training: Do not talk when students are copying information from the sheets Switch off OHP when talking to focus attention on what you are saying Use a pointer/pen as an indicator. Slide 185 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Using actual samples/examples as part of training: Get students ‘hands on’ with it – give them time to: • Take it to bits • Re-assemble it • Clean it • Use it • Complete it. Slide 186 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard When using videos/DVDs in class: Consider screening them twice ... or more Introduce it – tell class what it is all about/what to expect and what to look for Always discuss it after it has been shown Make sure they are 100% relevant. Slide 187 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard When doing ‘demonstrations’: Make sure you know what to do and how to do it Follow the standard protocol of: • ‘I do it normal • I do it slow • You do it with me • Then off you go.’ Slide 188 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard When using handouts in training delivery: Consider asking students to read out parts of the H/O but be sensitive to their ability to read out loud in front of others Beware many will want to leave when they have the H/O as they think they now ‘have all they need’ Make sure H/O s are up-dated regularly to keep them current Correct any identified spelling or other mistakes. Slide 189 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard When using Guest Speakers in training delivery: NEVER walk out and leave them on their own with the class Be prepared to ask questions to elicit required information Thank the Guest Speaker – send a ‘Thank you’ letter. Slide 190 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Use of ‘facilitation skills’ in class/training: Create a positive/comfortable environment Develop workplace-like atmosphere Involve and include the learners in decisions Explain plans for training and assessment (Continued) Slide 191 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Identify ‘boundaries’ for the class/group Express expectations for the group Motivate the class Integrate industry information and context into the training Engage and work with the students (Continued) Slide 192 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Develop rapport and a good working relationship Monitor participation and interactions Intervene and act when/if required to address issues Control the class. Slide 193 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard ‘Learner support’: Strong link between this and ‘facilitation skills’ Is targetted at an individual student rather then a group of learners. Slide 194 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Ways to provide ‘learner support’: Determine individual characteristics – get to know the students as unique individuals Prepare individual learning plans Provide extra one-on-one training Give regular feedback Liaise with external stakeholders regarding individual student progress and/or issues. Slide 195 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard In-class monitoring activities must include: Checking timing and pacing of delivery Observing/monitoring the learning environment Watching interpersonal relationships Actively/deliberately controlling the learning process (Continued) Slide 196 Conduct training of an ASEAN Competency Standard Determining the learning level/rate of individual learners Assessing suitability of the training resources and methods being used Seeking feedback from the learners about the delivery, their needs, content and issues arising. Slide 197 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery After training deliver has finished many other things will need to be undertaken to finalise the process such as filling in documentation which may need to be completed: By the Trainer In conjunction with the Assessor After each session When each program/Unit has finished. Slide 198 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Completed documents may need to be: Filed for future reference Shared with others Forwarded to designated others for processing. Slide 199 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Documentation which may need to be completed after training could include: Budget-related documents Attendance rolls Staffing documentation (Continued) Slide 200 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Workplace training reports – required by employers to provide information about their employees Trainer reports – required by Training Providers to supply nominated internal information and statistics. Slide 201 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Important aspects in relation to evaluation of training delivery: Evaluation is not assessment – important to understand the difference All trainers should evaluate their training – without exception Payment for training normally includes a component allowing for time to plan, prepare and evaluate. (Continued) Slide 202 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Can occur after every session Needs to be based on objective ‘evidence’/feedback Trainers need to be proactive in seeking out/sourcing feedback (Continued) Slide 203 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Findings of evaluations are a prime way Trainers can refine/improve their training delivery It is important to take heed of negative feedback and not just believe the positive comments There is a need to plan evaluations so there is a focus for it Analysis of evaluations should look for trends rather than ‘one-off’ events/feedback (unless it is a really serious/important issue). Slide 204 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery The evaluation process after training should also address the following: The training environment where training was conducted Resources used Personal approach and orientation of the Trainer Content delivered. Slide 205 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Evaluation: Must address ‘process’ and ‘product’ Will benefit from using a variety of evidence sources Should use techniques to secure feedback which are appropriate to the focus/topic of the evaluation May feature use of a Trainee Feedback Form. Slide 206 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Evaluation may also be undertaken using: An ‘Observation Checklist’ Self-evaluation and Reflection sheets. Slide 207 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Trainers may also consider: Using Trainee Evaluation Sheets Keeping a personal journal/diary Asking for feedback from other trainers and/or ‘trusted friends’ who will be honest but be sensitive (Continued) Slide 208 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Recording classes for later playback and analysis Asking a trusted colleague to sit in on a session Analysing results of assessments Asking trainee co-workers for their feedback/opinion of learner progress and competency. Slide 209 Evaluate ASEAN training delivery Outcomes/findings of evaluations may require: A report to be written A talk to be given ‘Information sessions; to be held Small group sessions to be conducted.
