Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Three training programmes were conduced by the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) on rice production technologies since 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 The purpose of the study was to determine the capacity buildup by the trainees, overall impression of the participants towards training and measure the impact of the training in graining subject matter knowledge. Data was collected from the participants of the training through structured questions during pre and post evaluation. T- test was used to compare the significant gain un subject matter knowledge. Findings reveal that the participants had very favourable opinion about the usefulness of the training and there overall impression towards the training was also good. The subject matter knowledge of the participants increased significantly by result of the training programme.

Keywords: Training, Evaluation, Effectiveness

Location: BRRI, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2004

End Date: 00-00-2007

Program Area: Knowledge Management

Non-commodity: Efficiency

Objectives:

To determine the capacity building by the participants
To measure the overall impression of the participants about the training program
To evaluate the significant achievement in technological knowledge of the participants by training.

Methodology:

The evaluation study was conducted on the one month rice production training of 3 consecutive years that is 2004-2005 2005-06 and 2006-2007, respectively and the total number of participants was 101. Relevant factors and evaluation issues with their indicators were identified and record as ``metrics of effectiveness of rice production training '' ( Howes and teresa Jeans, 1992) and consists of the following questions-(a) What is the most satisfactory aspect of the course (b) What is the dissatisfactory aspect of the course, (c) What are the problem encountered during the course period and (d) What are the suggestion form overall improvement of the course. Evaluation issues like method of training, material used, active participants, duration, major contents and usefulness of the course were also considered in the metrics. Finally, a questionnaire had been developed on the basis of metrics and the pre- selected indicators were inserted in the questionnaire to fulfill participant and requested to fill up it properly. After the compiled and analyzed. Pre (benchmark) and post (final) training evaluation of the imparted course was carried out of evaluate the performance of the participants.

Achievement/Findings:

It is difficult to measure the success of a training accurately. Because there is no tools/ matrices for direct measurement. However, the training program is conducted properly as mentioned by participants. The overall findings as revealed from participants views and also obtained through pre- test and post- test showed that the training programme was very satisfactory useful in increasing subject matter knowledge on rice production and its utilization.
