SayPro Feedback and Evaluation Forms: Measuring Program Effectiveness and Participant Satisfaction

Objective

To develop comprehensive feedback and evaluation forms that gather actionable insights on SayPro’s training programs. These tools help assess the quality, relevance, and impact of the sessions, as well as participant satisfaction, guiding continuous improvement.

1. Purpose of Feedback and Evaluation Forms

Feedback and evaluation forms serve dual purposes:

Program Effectiveness Assessment: Determine if learning objectives were met, skills were gained, and participants can apply knowledge effectively.
Participant Satisfaction Measurement: Understand participants’ experiences, including content relevance, facilitator quality, materials, and logistics.

Together, these insights inform program refinement and strategic decision-making.

2. Types of Feedback and Evaluation Forms

a. Immediate Post-Session Feedback Forms

Administered at the end of each session or workshop.
Capture participants’ immediate reactions and satisfaction levels.
Useful for identifying quick wins and urgent issues.

b. Comprehensive Program Evaluation Forms

Used after a series of sessions or at program completion.
Assess cumulative learning outcomes and overall experience.
Include reflective questions on behavior change and skill application.

c. Follow-Up Evaluation Forms

Distributed weeks or months after the program ends.
Measure long-term impact and application of skills in real-life settings.

3. Key Components of Feedback and Evaluation Forms
