Popis: | This article describes an evaluative study focused on the transfer of trained knowledge and skills back to the practice setting. A model of transfer was developed based on factors identified in the literature. Survey methodology was used to obtain data from training participants at the completion of training and again six months later. They assessed attainment of learning outcome and its other model components. The regression model that resulted accounted for 52% of the variance in participants' perceptions of their learning. Training participants having an opportunity to perform new tasks on the job, support of peers for using new skills and familiarity with the content prior to training were the variables in the model. Recommendations for training and evaluation of training efforts are also presented. |
