Assignment: Assessment and Analysis
- How is the program evaluated?
It comes down to results which rests with the CO, reflected in pass/fail rate per person and the overall responsibility lays on CO which goes on her/his eval
- What goals/objectives are used to measure if the program is accomplishing its objectives?
Pass/fail rate
-How often is the program evaluated?
Every 6 months
-How is data collected, from where, and how is it used in the evaluation process?
Pass/fail rates go to navy personnel, and navy training; keeps full database on every person in the navy, broken down per command, data is then fed back to command fitness leader and lastly the CO
- How is reliability, validity, and practicality ensured?
It is not terribly difficult to manipulate the system, however, there are safeguards in place. One person implements data (command fitness leader only has access) any one person cannot go into the system. However full reliability is on that one person
-What are the costs of the training?
-What are the benefits of the training?
Overall healthy staff, health conscious, fit to fight
-What is the process for reviewing the results of the evaluation and determining how to make improvements?
The command review the numbers, individual person learns where they are at on their physical fitness spectrum-fairly personal. You may pass, but you may be at the lower end-so you may need to think about working harder. If you fail, the command will train you mandatorily on the side, in a separate group.
How will a training program help towards business goals?
Assuming the program is designed to follow goals; train how you fight, training reflects business goals; increased cardio training, upped upper body exercises, phased out certain exercises that weren’t beneficial. Over time, training developed because of damage to peoples bodies.
What resources will training require?
Space, a place to train, materials, equipment, track or treadmill, pads for tailbones for situps, personnel, instructors-well informed +caring, shows by example
How much will the training program cost?
Depends on necessities of program, however, do you need to rent a facility? Travel costs?
What are the expected outcomes?
Everyone passes and succeeds, learning or reinforcing knowledge, stretching and breathing correctly, push forward into more efficient plan
What challenges do you face that can be changed with training?
Motivation. Training can answer unanswered questions. Core exercises enhance push up numbers, whereas someone may not have known this, so training aids in the learning process. Proper dieting, maintain weight or lose weight. Nutrition, balance and vitamins.
What assessment/ analysis criteria did you use to come up with the Navy Health and Wellness Training program?
A navadmin comes out with new guidance and the commands need to find ways to implement. Take the overall guidance and use it as your guidepost to actually implement. Find a balance with your team/group. Not all people train and implement train the same, there is variations due to different trainers. Follow guidance, room for creativity.
What is the importance of training design, and how does it incorporate the assessed training needs?
Mock PRT’s, practice tests, gauge progress, visually witness those who are falling behind, is the training your doing working? If not, you have an opportunity to modify based on what you see before the real deal.
How did you manage to implement the training design in the program successfully?
How successful was your health and wellness training program?
I never asked people to do something I wouldn’t do myself. The weakest of the group was not ever left alone. I stayed the last in line, guiding those in the back, pushing those that needed motivation.
Did you realize any returns after heavily investing in the health and wellness training program
Losing weight, feeling better, lowering blood pressure
