15. CONTINUED REVISION OF THE
SCHEDULE—to make room for new ideas,
learning opportunities, needs, and problems as
they arise
• What are the advantages and disadvantages to
keeping the program open and flexible? (How
might this influence a health worker’s ability to
work toward, or tolerate, change in his or her
community?)
16. EVALUATION DURING THE TRAINING
PROGRAM—to consider how it might be
improved (see Chapter 9)
• I n what ways can this be done?
• Who should be involved?
• What is the value of. . .
♦♦ round-table discussions in which all students and
staff have a chance to express their feelings about
the program and each other?
♦♦ similar discussions with members of the
community where the training program takes
place?
♦♦ tests and exams?
♦♦ setting specific goals and seeing if they are met?
• If evaluation studies (informal or formal, ongoing or
final) are made, what can be done to help assure
that results are useful and will be used?
18. STARTING OVER The
whole process is repeated:
PURPOSE
OBSERVATION
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
ANALYSIS OF NEEDS
EARLY DECISIONS AND OBJECTIVES
ACTION
CONTINUED PLANNING
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
CHANGES OF PLAN
CHANGES OF ACTION
FOLLOW-UP AND FEEDBACK
C. Planning and programming after
the course is completed:
17. FOLLOW-UP AND FEEDBACK* (see
Chapter 10)
• How can a supportive learning situation be continued
between instructors and students, and among the
students themselves, once the training course is
completed?
• How can the following be involved in supporting the
health worker:
♦♦ members of the community (a health
committee)?
♦♦ other health workers?
♦♦ program instructors, leaders, and advisers?
♦♦ other support groups and referral centers?
• How can the experiences, successes, and
difficulties of the health workers in their
communities be recorded and used to make the
next training course better than the last? (Can
this be done so that health workers know they are
contributing, rather than being judged?)
*FEEDBACK: helpful ideas and suggestions
sent back to planners or instructors by health
workers.
