Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore perspectives of training evaluation among training professionals and line managers in U.S. nuclear power plants. The conceptual framework identified three perspectives of evaluation of training: judgment, improvement, and learning. The study sought to determine the distinctiveness of these perspectives and whether training professionals and line managers differed on which perspective was most important to them. For this study, a survey was developed that included items representing each of the perspective and was administered to 583 line managers and training professionals in 65 U.S. nuclear power plants. The collected data was analyzed with the methods of structural equation modeling, multivariate analysis of variance, and descriptive statistics. The results showed that a three-factor model representing the three perspectives of training evaluation reasonably fit the data from the line managers and training professionals, while there was a high correlation between improvement and learning perspectives and there were correlations among some sets of items regarding the information of financial impacts of training, job analysis, instructional quality, and interventionist evaluation. The results also showed that there were no significant differences between line manager and training professional groups on the three perspectives, while evaluations of financial impact, factors affecting transfer of training, and interventionist evaluation were neglected despite their importance. It was also found that the extent to which line managers and training professionals received the evaluation information affected the level of satisfaction with this information. The results support the existence of three perspectives of training evaluation among the respondents. If true beyond the current research setting, such a conclusion has implications for designing future training evaluations. In practice, the three perspectives provide a potential frame for training evaluation that has greater theoretical support than some current training evaluation models. That training managers and line managers did not differ in their perspective of training evaluation may be unique aspect of the nuclear industry. Future studies should seek to further confirm the existence of the three perspectives of training evaluation, recognizing the inherent difficulty in obtaining matched sets of data from training professionals and line managers across numerous organizations.

Download or read book Evaluating Corporate Training Models and Issues written by Stephen M. Brown and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are glad to have the opportunity to work together again in the planning and preparation of this edited volume on the evaluation of corporate training. Our respective professional careers have provided us with experience in this area, both as practitioners and as academicians. It is from both of these perspectives that we approached the preparation of this volume. Our purpose is to provide training professionals in business and industry, and students of human resources development with an overview of current models and issues in educational evaluation. The book is organized around three themes: context, models, and issues. The chapters in the context section are intended to provide the reader with an understanding of the social, organizational, and interpersonal factors that provide background and give meaning to evaluation practice. The models section brings together contributions from some of the most influential thinkers and practitioners in the field. The chapters in this section provide perspective on the dominant themes and emergent trends from individuals who have been, and continue to be, the drivers of those trends. Contributions to the issues section highlight some pervasive themes as well as illuminate new areas of concern and interest that will affect how we assess learning interventions in the organizations of today and tomorrow.
Download or read book Systematic Approach to Training for Nuclear Facility Personnel Processes Methodology and Practices written by IAEA and published by International Atomic Energy Agency. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training is an important tool to achieve and maintain the required competence of personnel working in nuclear facilities. Effective training and qualification of personnel are necessary for the achievement of high safety and efficiency standards in nuclear facility performance. Training and qualification combined is a key feature of the integrated management systems of nuclear facilities. It is these considerations that led to this publication which consolidates the experience gained worldwide using the systematic approach to training (SAT) for nuclear facility personnel. It provides a basis for establishing and sustaining the quality and reliability of training and qualification for all main categories of nuclear facility personnel. SAT has proved its effectiveness in nuclear and other safety critical industries over decades and is recognized as the best international practice in nuclear training. The publication details the processes and methodology, presents good practices and offers recommendations from the experts in the field on the entire set of activities within the SATbased training methodology and provides examples of SAT application. It builds on, and supersedes, guidance provided in an earlier IAEA publication (Technical Report Series 380, Nuclear Power Plant Personnel Training and its Evaluation: A Guidebook). A key feature of this publication is demonstrating how SATbased training serves as one of the important processes in a nuclear facility management system and how it integrates with other processes.

Download or read book Evaluating Training Programs Volume 1 of 2 EasyRead Large Bold Edition written by Donald L. Kirkpatrick and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 1998 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald L. Kirkpatrick presents a system for evaluating the effectiveness of a training program. The system assesses four types of information: the reactions of the participants, the learning they achieved, changes in their behavior, and the final business results (such as increased production, improved quality, decreased costs, or higher profits). This solid, organized approach to evaluation includes guidelines, sample questionnaires, charts and formulas, as well as case studies of companies using this approach. However, because it is fairly dry and technical, this book primarily will interest those who run or rely upon training programs. The summaries of the first chapters - covering the evaluation system - can provide managers and executives with a general idea of this approach and the research involved. But getabstract particularly recommends this book to those leading training programs, because they can use its specific material as a reference when undertaking evaluations.

Download or read book The Training Evaluation Process written by David J. Basarab Sr. and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details a unique training evaluation approach developed by David J. Basarab, Sr. currently the Manager of Evaluation at Motorola University. This approach was developed in part based on information from his graduate coursework with Dr. Darrell K. Root, professor of program evaluation and educational administration at the University of Dayton. It enabled Motorola to evaluate their corporate training programs to determine whether money spent on training was an investment or an expense. This evaluation approach is also significant in determining either the effectiveness of or the opportunities to improve corporate training programs. In this text, The Training Evaluation Process, David Basarab and Darrell Root provide commercial industry training with a step-by-step approach to use when evaluating training progrruns, thus allowing training to be viewed as an investment rather than an expense. This text focuses on assessing training programs, so that they may be improved. This approach provides a successful procedure to use when evaluating training programs. Included in the text is a comprehensive explanation of the evaluation model developed by D. L. Kirkpatrick (Kirkpatrick, D. L., November 1959) in which he described four levels of evaluating training progrruns: Level 1 -Reaction: Evaluate to learn participants' perception to the training program. Level 2 -Learning: Evaluate to determine whether participants have learned the course subject matter. Level 3 -Behavior: Evaluate participants' use of newly acquired job skills on the job. Level 4 -Results: Evaluate the organizational impact of training on company's workforce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argonne National Laboratory has presented nine international courses in the IAEA Nuclear Power Training Program. Five have been overview courses fifteen weeks in length and four have been specialized courses ranging from five to nine weeks. A total of 286 participants from 38 countries have been traned in these courses. The Argonne courses comprise approximately 40% of the Agency's program, which is also carried out in France, Spain, and the Federal Republic of Germany. The two types of overview courses, one covering the planning phase of a project and the other the construction and operation phase, surveyed all aspects of nuclear power programs--economic, managerial, regulatory, and technical. Experience has shown that the majority of the participants in those courses had concentrated interest in specialized areas. Specialized courses have now been offered on five specific subjects. Based on past course evaluations by our staff, 37% of those trained were judged capable of making significant contribution to their country's nuclear program, 44% were judged potentially capable of such contributions, 17% were capable of only limited contribution, and 2% were inappropriately selected. Participation in international training has been very useful because of the exposure to working experts and because of the interaction between participants from the different developing countries. It is clear that such courses of moderate length sometimes attract senior management personnel, but in general can best be directed to responsible staff at middle management levels. More junior staff would be more effectively trained at the national level. Preliminary results of a Center survey of those participants who were trained two years ago have confirmed these conclusions.
