Évaluation de la Pertinence des Objectifs de Programme: Une Méthodologie Appropriée
Abstract
Goal relevance assessment: An appropriate method This article discusses the method used in a study reevaluating the objectives of a training program. First, there is a brief description of the program to help the reader grasp the context of the evaluation. The model retained for goal relevance assessment involves analyzing the need for training, since goal-setting is of necessity based on such a need. This need is defined as the gap between the desired situation and what currently exists. The desired situation is defined as the importance the program should accord to reaching training objectives, while the current situation is defined as the importance the program actually accords to reaching them. Data were collected using a list of training objectives, which made it possible to collect information on the desired as opposed to the current situation. Finally, a specific procedure for needs analysis and a critical path technique were used to categorize the results obtained. This technique is useful in determining the comparative relevance of objectives and identifying training needs which remain to be met.Downloads
