| Main Purpose |
The purpose of this module is to record characteristics of
trainers. It is assumed that each trainer has an unique identifier that is coded on
services forms. |
| Description |
- This form is parallel to Module 49 (Staff Characteristics Form).
- The form collects major demographics characteristics of the individual who provides
training.
- The information is collected on a single legal-sized form.
|
| Target Projects for Form |
- ALL.
- This evaluation tool would be maximally useful if all projects code this information
from all staff.
|
| Major Evaluation Function |
- This information permits a comparison of levels of training provided and training
effectiveness when there is, or is not, a congruence in basic demographic characteristics,
training, and other factors between the individuals providing the training and the
individuals receiving the training.
- Congruence between trainers and trainees and the effectiveness of training is an
important meta-issue that is best addressed by pooled multi-site data because greater
heterogeneity of trainers and trainees is achieved through multiple sites.
- Trainee characteristics may also have an important, "main effect" on program
effectiveness.
