Evaluating Effectiveness of Training Program in Eastern Samar State University - Can Avid Strengthening its Commitment to Continuous Improvement

The accountability issue of training and development among employees is evaluating the effectiveness of a training program in order to determine whether it accomplishes its goals and objectives, appraise the value of training, identify training gaps and to get rid of any training that isnt necessary. In this descriptive study, the effectiveness of training program of this university campus is evaluated in terms of faculty participants and the department heads viewpoints. Using an adapted and modified training effectiveness questionnaire, the faculty's perceived learning right after the activity, application of knowledge and skill acquired three months later, and the department head's evaluation of the faculty's demonstrated learning in terms of its impact on job behavior and job performance were taken into account. Results show faculty participants “agree” that the activity courses have achieved their individual objectives, they have acquired deeper understanding about the subjects of the training program, and their performance level will rise as a result of their attendance to the training. Further, they “agree” that the TSPs have the full readiness to perform the activity courses, the resource persons are experts within the area of competence, the facilities were equipped with the highest quality standards. In terms of impact on their job performance and their application of learning three months after the conclusion of the activity courses, faculty participants “somewhat agree” they had the chance to make the best use of the skills they have learned from the activity courses and their job performance level have increased as a result of their attendance to the activity courses. Meanwhile, the department heads “somewhat agree” they have noticed an increase in the faculty's performance in the workplace since their attendance to the training and they have noticed indicators that proved faculty participants benefited from the acquired skills in the training. The top two reasons why faculty failed to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the capability trainings are “they havent had the opportunity” and “they are very busy”. Dr. Bernadette R.
