Assessing trainee profi ciency
Abstract:
This chapter will consider four components to the
process of developing assessments of trainee profi ciency.
First, it reviews fi ve dimensions of behavioral objectives:
training audience; trainee performance; conditions for the
performance; the measure of the performance; and criteria
for successful performance, and the roles they play in the
training module. Next, it considers the kinds of assessments
that can be incorporated in a particular training module,
ranging from assessments that approximate the core concept
of a performance, through a series of increasingly distant
surrogates, to an assessment based on the trainee's knowledge
of the job, a KTA. Third, it sketches the preparation of several
kinds of forms for assessing training, ranging across the
continuum from work sampling, through SDAs, situational
judgment tests, and fi nally to KTAs. Finally, it considers
several issues that arise as we incorporate assessments into
the training module: the timing of assessments, and ensuring
the integrity of the assessment process.
Key words:
conditions of performance, criteria for
successful performance, individual training plan (ITP),
knowledge transfer assessment (KTA), measure of
performance, situational judgment test, skill demonstration
assessment (SDA), testing security, trainee performance,
training audience, training event, work sampling.
