Critical Analysis Research - 27-09-2011

SkillGate Critical Analysis Research is provided for peer review.
We aim to offer learning statistics associated with specific learning interventions (with a minimal level of interpretation) so that trainers may undertake their own analysis having reviewed the training offered.

This report covers two tutorials issued on the 23rd and 26th September 2011.

At the end of each tutorial delegates were offered this feedback box to complete:

 

- + ++ How relevant do you think this subject is to you? How useful was this tutorial to you? Would you like more on this subject?

Tutorial 1: A Coaching Approach to Feedback.

To date we have achieved a 71% course completion and 84% of those completed the feedback form.

With this tutorial we altered the learning approach half way through the tutorial by adding a short 'practical'. The practical told delegates that successful completion of the practical would be;

• assessed by a tutor and
• double the amount of CPD points offered to the delegate.

The results were quite marked see Result 1 and Result 2 below. (you can test the tutorial for yourself on your portal).

 

Question	Result 1	Result 2
How relevant do you think this subject is to you?	2.44 max 3 81%	2.67 (max 3) 87%
How useful was this tutorial to you?	2.22 (max 3) 74%	2.63 (max 3) 87%
Would you like more on this subject?	2.22 (max 3) 74%	2.71 (max 3) 90%

You will see this represents a 13% (from 74% to 87%) improvement in satisfaction.

Satisfaction among those who scored maximum 3 on – 'How relevant do you think this subject is to you?' improved from 2.47 to 2.8 (max 3).

Tutorial 2: Handle Criticism with Confidence.

At the time of writing (27-09-11) 84% of delegates who started the tutorial have completed it. 72% of those have completed the questionnaire.
