Suggestions for Improving Assessments of Learning and Training Effectiveness
Analysis of validity and reliability of feedback data in professional training sessions of public department officials.
A variety of training is conducted for the professional development of officers, teacher mentors, and teachers from the government sector, all aiming to achieve equity in public education. As a general practice, feedback responses from all these participants of training and sessions are collected at the end of the training, with the help of feedback forms. An overall observation of the data shows a skewed distribution with a highly positive clustering of responses in the data.
The prevalence of prolonged skewed distribution of positive responses made us highly curious about the reliability and validity of the data. Can there be a possibility that our data is biased? What could be the factors influencing our data quality? Is our style of asking feedback questions leading participants to respond in a particular way?
​
To investigate these questions about the reliability and validity of the data as well as the style used for asking questions, we designed a study that aims to understand the degree and source of bias in all the kinds of data received from the surveys, as well as analyze and devise ways in which the bias in the data can be reduced or controlled.
