In this episode, Traci and Dave focus on training evaluation as the final component of instructional system design. Dave explains that evaluation has two aspects: specific (assessing whether students learned what was taught in a particular course) and global (determining if training improves actual job performance).
The key insight is that evaluation methods should align directly with learning objectives. If objectives are correctly written to be objective and measurable, they define how students should be evaluated. Most companies fail at proper evaluation, relying on subjective assessments rather than objective testing.
High-fidelity simulators and process data can measure actual performance improvements in real-world transfer evaluations. However, evaluation should focus on system performance rather than individual blame.
