Issues in Evaluation. Symposium 11. [AHRD Conference, 2001].
This document contains three papers on issues in evaluation. "Evaluation of the Method of Modeling: A Case Study of the Finnish Steel Industry" (Ville Nurmi) describes the method of modeling as an educational strategy to support both specific goal-directed transformative learning focused on work process and learning in workplaces, and it evaluates the effectiveness of modeling as an educational strategy in an industrial setting. "Performance-Level Evaluation Methods Used in Management Development Studies from 1986-2000" (Doris B. Collins) reports on a study in which Burke and Day's 1986 meta-analysis of the effectiveness of managerial training and the Results Assessment System lens are used to analyze 18 management development studies from 1986-2000 that had performance-level outcomes. "Redefining Performance: Productivity and Return on Investment in Physical Therapy" (Scott S. Harp) is a theoretical paper designed to begin the conceptual analysis of the feasibility of developing and using a tool measuring return on investment (ROI) to measure ROI in training in the service-oriented field of physical therapy. Two papers include substantial bibliographies. (MN)
