Difference between revisions of "Evaluation System"

A set of interacting and interdependent processes which together form a judgement on the value of an intervention. Thus, a training evaluation system involves the processes which integrate together to judge the value of a training course in satisfying stated learning objectives, and meeting learner expectations.

For a detailed guide on the generic steps involved in designing an evaluation system please see Evaluation, and look at the diagram Evaluation Design Matrix. The section 'Evaluation Approaches' (on the same page) further elaborates on different structures and models for evaluation systems, and also provides information on systems for evaluating training programs. Most importantly see Approaches to training Evaluation located in this section.

Note: Another kind of evaluation system relevant to training and learning, is that used to assess student performance. However, this is usually referred to as Assessment.
