Survey Evaluation of AIDS Prevention Awareness Campaign Use of Kirkpatrick Model

Background: AIDS is a pandemic and a health challenge in the world and all the people of society are at risk of this health problem. Awareness Campaign has become increasingly used in recent years and aims to convey persuasive messages to perform specific behaviors in the target group. The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of AIDS prevention and awareness campaign in students through the use of Kirkpatrick’s Evaluation Model. Methods: the cross-sectional study was conducted in border areas of the Sarvabad City in 2018. A total of 564 students in high school were randomly selected. This research was based on Kirkpatrick model. This model considers the effectiveness of training programs in four levels, reaction, learning, behavior and results. Required data were collected by a questionnaire based Kirkpatrick model. Media used in this campaign included: banner, pamphlet, videos and training by health experts. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20. Results: The most attractive media used in awareness campaign for participants were training provided by health professionals (speech and Q&A session) and educational videos, pamphlets and banners, respectively. Awareness and behavior of students significantly increased after the campaign by 51.6% and 25.6%, respectively (P≤0. 00). Conclusion: Kirkpatrick model was effective and can be used to evaluate awareness campaign, because this model shows the changes well that caused by training in reaction, learning and behavior. Therefore effectiveness evaluation in the all subjects needed to be improved through implementation of optimizing training design.

Analysis of a Training Package for Law Enforcement to Conduct Open Source Research

Law enforcement officials (LEOs) in the UK conduct open source research (OSR) as part of their routine online investigations. OSR, in this instance, refers to publicly available information that is accessed via the Internet. As part of the research, identifying and tracing the electronic suspect (RITES) course provided by the UK's College of Policing, LEOs are introduced to the open source internet research tool (OSIRT); a free software tool designed to assist LEOs with OSR investigations. This article draws on analyses from questionnaires and observations from a RITES course; mapping them to Kirkpatrick's evaluation model. Results showed the positive impact the RITES course had in transferring knowledge back on-the-job, with LEOs applying knowledge learned to real-life investigative scenarios. Additionally, results showed OSIRT integrated both in the RITES course and into the LEOs investigative routine.

Supervisory skills training for the neglected supervisors: development and preliminary evaluation of an autonomy-supportive programme

Purpose Previous studies have demonstrated that an autonomy-supportive supervision style is associated with improved well-being and positive behaviours for supervisees. However, autonomy-supportive training (AST) has yet to be tailored to suit supervisors in low-skilled occupations for whom traditional pedagogical approaches may be inappropriate. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and preliminary evaluation of AST for these supervisors, using self-determination theory (SDT) and andragogical principles of adult learning. Design/methodology/approach SDT and andragogical principles were systematically integrated to develop (a 3 h) AST programme. The training sessions were trialled with 11 first-line supervisors in New Zealand as a preliminary evaluation of AST. The evaluation used open-ended questions following Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model and incorporated the trainer’s reflections. Findings Supervisors found AST relevant, easy to understand and suited to their approach to learning. Trainer’s reflections also provided insight into the challenges in conducting such training for supervisors in low-skilled occupations and the article makes suggestions to address these challenges. Research limitations/implications AST can be successfully tailored to first-line supervisors, indicating that an autonomy-supportive style of leadership is relevant for those employed in low-skilled occupations. This initial evaluation provides a foundation for future studies to conduct higher-level assessment of AST. Practical implications AST can be utilised to provide first-line supervisors with access to improved leadership development opportunities. Challenges of conducting this kind of training programme in a context of low-skilled occupations are addressed and recommendations made for organisations and trainers. Originality/value This study is novel as it demonstrates the development of AST, a leadership skills training, tailored to suit the needs of an understudied group, supervisors in low-skilled occupations.

EVALUASI DIKLAT ASN MODEL KIRKPATRICK (STUDI KASUS PELATIHAN EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION SKILL BALAI DIKLAT KEUANGAN MAKASSAR)

This research was conducted with the aim of: (i) evaluating the trainees’s satisfaction on trainers and training performance; (ii) evaluating the implementation of training results in their work units; (iii) evaluating the impact of training on trainee’s and/or unit performance; and (iv) identifying the constraints that hinders the training results to support the improvement of alumni competency and performance. Kirkpatrick's Evaluation Model was employed, and data was collected using questionnaires and interviews as well as descriptive statistical analysis techniques. The findings reveals that; (i) the overall aspects of training implementation were considered ‘very good’ by the participants, even though did not yet meet their level of expectation. The teacher however, indicates that the overall aspects of training have been able to meet the expectations of participants; (ii) the Effective Negotiation Skills training improved alumni competency after returning to work. This can be seen from the average value of the total perceptions of alumni respondents related to changes in competence after participating in training as much as 8.34 (on a scale of 1-10). Paired sample t-test analysis also showed a significant influence indicating improvement of alumni competency, especially in negotiating with the stakeholders; (iii) the results of training significantly have positive impacts on trainee’s and/or unit performance. This can be seen from the average total of alumni perception on impacts of 4.12 (high) in scale of 1-5 where 1 is very low and 5 is very high) scale. Majority of alumni feel that its positive impacts indicated by increasing of negotiation capability to stakeholders; (iv) The biggest obstacle experienced by alumni in applying knowledge obtained from the training in the workplace is different language, culture, and character, which posed difficulty for them to negotiate and communicate work unit tasks and target performance. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan: (i) mengevaluasi kepuasan peserta diklat terhadap pengajar dan penyelenggaraan diklat; (ii) mengevaluasi implementasi hasil diklat setelah kembali ke unit kerja; (iii) mengevaluasi dampak hasil diklat dalam meningkatkan kinerja alumni diklat dan/atau unit kerja; dan (iv) mengidentifikasi kendala yang menghambat penerapan hasil pelatihan. Model Evaluasi Kirkpatrick digunakan dalam penelitian ini, dan data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara serta teknik analisis statistik deskriptif. Temuan mengungkapkan bahwa (i) keseluruhan aspek evaluasi penyelenggaraan dinilai oleh peserta dengan kategori Sangat Baik meskipun belum dapat memenuhi tingkat harapan dari peserta yang ditunjukkan dengan angka rata-rata di bawah 100%. Di sisi lain, keseluruhan aspek evaluasi pengajar telah dapat memenuhi harapan dari peserta; (ii) pelatihan mampu meningkatkan kompetensi alumni dalam mendukung pekerjaan alumni setelah kembali ke unit kerja. Hal ini terlihat dari nilai rata-rata total persepsi responden alumni terkait perubahan kompetensi setelah mengikuti diklat sebesar 8,34 (dari skala 1-10). Hasil uji-t berpasangan menunjukkan hal yang sama bahwa program pelatihanyang dilakukan berhasil dan memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dalam peningkatan kompetensi alumni; (iii) hasil pelatihan memberikan dampak terhadap kinerja alumni dan/atau unit kerja alumni dengan nilai rata-rata tingkat dampak positif bagi kinerja individu dan/atau unit kerja dengan kategori tinggi; (iv) kendala terbesar yang dialami oleh alumni dalam menerapkan pengetahuan yang diperoleh dari pelatihan di tempat kerja adalah perbedaan bahasa, budaya, dan karakter, yang menimbulkan kesulitan ketika melakukan negosiasi dan komunikasi tentang tugas dan target kinerja unit.
