T47 T&P: The Relationship Between Needs Assessment and Evaluation: A Case Study

• In Event: Roundtables - Friday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables II - T&P

Short Description

This session describes a project that integrated needs assessment and evaluation perspectives in one study. The project involved evaluating a course that served to drive an organizational change initiative. Success of the change initiative, however, involved situational factors outside the scope of instruction. We modified Robert Stake’s Countenance Framework to pinpoint course improvements and workplace performance gaps. The insights of integrating both perspectives will be discussed.
