Community Affairs Training Evaluation; Project CATE: Phase I Final Report.
Texas Univ., Austin. Research and Development Center for Teacher Education.
Within a program of training system evaluation, optimal training system development cannot occur without evaluation development, and evaluation cannot be very effective in the absence of an optimal approach to training system development. Therefore, the goal of the Community Affairs Training Evaluation (CATE) project was to develop a set of procedures which provide practical information to decision makers for making program decisions and judging goal attainment. The result has been the development of a prototype for a Decision Oriented Evaluation System (DOES), involving evaluations of the training procedures and materials, the trainee's job performance, and the community impact of the program, to be done in three stages: the input stage, the process stage, and the outcome stage. A prototype user's handbook has been developed and will allow the pilot testing revision, field testing, extension, and development of a supporting training system which are necessary before a comprehensive installation can be made.
