Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testing participants through the use of a pre and post test on the key points of the program will yield the best results as it directly measures changes in participants' understanding of current laws related to diversity. Statistical measures of association and correlation (A) and running experiments with control groups (B) are more suitable for testing the effectiveness of policies or interventions, rather than training. Gathering qualitative information from training participants (C) and interviewing training participants (D) can provide additional insights, but may not yield objective measurement of changes in understanding.
