During difficult economic times trainers must demonstrate effectiveness. One of the best methods is to provide hard data on performance improvement. During this session, participants will discover the difference between quantitative and qualitative methodologies for data collection and how to determine which method to use. Join Dr. Stephanie Fuentes to practice using a tool that determines which approach to use when conducting evaluations or inquiries. In addition, learn about the different languages and cultures of these two methodologies. Determining what methodology to use for analyzing or evaluating human performance in the workplace is critical to ensure that an appropriate and value-added solution is achieved. Knowing what methodology to use for inquiry means understanding the larger context in which the activities take place. Competing pressures, resource constraints, and organizational change all impact how one conducts an inquiry.
A poorly designed inquiry can lead to unusable results, and since decision-making about the situation often relies on the data provided, it becomes clear how influential any inquiry can be and how important systematic design of the inquiry, whether qualitative or quantitative, is applied.
This is a how-to session on quantitative and qualitative methods, and what considerations and questions to ask when conducting evaluations or other inquiries in your organization.
