Measurement of Training Effectiveness
We are at Geo~Trek Adventure & Experiential Training always strive to deliver a highly effective training for our clients. We use various specifically designed training effectiveness measurement tools e.g. Life Effectiveness Questionnaire (L.E.Q.) designed by Prof. J.T. Neill from University of New Hampshire, Adversity Response Profile (A.R.P.) designed by Paul Stolzd, PhD from PEAK Learning Inc., General Self Efficacy Scale (G.S.E.) designed by Gail M. Wagnild, etc.
All of the training effectiveness measurement tools used by GEO~TREK are specifically designed by Outdoor Education Experts, because Adventure‐based Training effectiveness cannot be measured by conventional psychological test or questionnaire. Adventure‐based Training has many differences on perimeters and dimensions compared with conventional Psychological perimeters and dimensions, nevertheless, Adventure‐based Learning has an ability to develop and improve Psychological and Psychosocial skills of the participant.
The validity of the Measurement Tools has been tested and studied for more than 15 years in many countries before released as a valid Adventure‐based Training effectiveness measurement tools.
Why measured? Because training is an investment on people, so it must bring revenue / return for the company. It is a part of HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGY. A modern company such like National or International Banking, Food & Baverage Factory or Distribution, Software or Hardware Distribution, Telecomunication Industri or Distribution & Oil Company has realized the important of training to enhance their employee’s competency.
A high effective training must have SMART conditions : Specific (Specifically designed to meet the client’s needs), Measureable (The development & enhancement as the result of the training intervention can be measured), Agreed (The training program must be agreed by all participants), Realistic (Realistic in the budget, time, and place), Time guided (It must be scheduled).
