Analytic, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills are most important. The KSAs are complex and participants need time to master them. Active participation is desired. The process of learning (questioning, interpreting, and so on) is as important as the content. Team problem solving and interaction are possible. © 2012 Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Select and prepare the role players by introducing a specific situation. To help participants prepare, ask them to describe potential characters. Realize that volunteers make better role players. Prepare the observers by giving them specific tasks (such as evaluation or feedback). Guide the role-play enactment through its bumps (because it is not scripted). Keep it short. Discuss the enactment and prepare bulleted points of what was learned. © 2012 Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Potential questions might include the following: – What were your learning goals for this program? – Did you achieve them? – Did you like this program? – Would you recommend it to others who have similar learning goals? – What suggestions do you have for improving the program? – Should the organization continue to offer it? © 2012 Learning.

Testing knowledge and skills before beginning a training program gives a baseline standard on trainees that can be measured again after training to determine improvement. However, in addition to testing trainees, test employees who did not attend the training to estimate the differential effect of the training. © 2012 Learning. All Rights Reserved.
