Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Controlled experimentation is the typical method for evaluating training programs. Data are obtained both before and after the training effort in the group exposed to training, and before and after a corresponding work period in the control group. It is thus possible to determine the extent to which any change in performance in the training group resulted from the training itself rather than from some organization-wide change such as a raise in pay; we assume that the latter would have equally affected employees in both groups.
