2.2 Questionnaire Format

A questionnaire format may be used to solicit opinions, obtain information, and collect

feedback regarding the work or training environment. For example, questionnaires can be

used to collect post-training feedback on initial or continuing training program effectiveness,

to gather data that assists in the evaluation of the proper scope of training program content,

and to investigate the effects of industry events and/or regulatory changes on the content

of a training program.

The following guidance can be helpful when developing a questionnaire-type evaluation

instrument:

Define the purpose of the questionnaire. This can be done by determining what

information is needed, who will provide the information, and how the

information will be used.

Determine the source of the evaluation questions to be used in the

questionnaire. Questions can come from managers and training staff, previous

observations and interview material, and other questionnaires that have been

used for similar purposes.

Determine the types of questions required on the questionnaire. Three different

types of questions can be used. The interview technique uses all three types.

Performance Questions - These questions ask what has actually been

performed. They are aimed at obtaining descriptions of actual

experiences, activities, or actions where the corresponding performance

would be observable if an evaluator were present.
