Development and Implementation of a Training Program for Educational Research and Developmental Personnel. Final Report.
Cox, William F., Jr.
This report describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of a minority-group training program on comprehensive education planning. Thirty educators, mostly black and female, responsible for comprehensive planning activities attended a 3-week workshop covering the areas of needs assessment, goal development, planning, project management, implementation evaluation, progress evaluation, and product evaluation. The areas of instruction were selected from results of a training-needs assessment and were implemented in the workshop via appropriate instructional modules (in the field-test stage) as developed by various education agencies. Results indicate that the instructional materials were appropriate for the audience as determined through product evaluations and trainee ratings. Followup evaluations indicate that most of the trainees felt very positive toward comprehensive planning, and over half of the trainees were involved in comprehensive planning activities. Most developers of modules used in the workshop indicated that evaluation data would help modify or clarify the nature of their instructional products. Additional products developed in coordination with the training program include a needs assessment instrument, implementation procedures, and a catalog of instructional products relating to educational research and development.
