Although staff training in public child welfare agencies is thought to be a critical component of effective practice, little is known about the delivery and effectiveness of training interventions. Few evaluations are published in the literature and it is uncertain how much evaluation activity is being conducted and utilized. This study collected data from 48 public child welfare agencies in the United States regarding the conduct of training evaluation and the utilization of training data. The data are discussed within the context of planning the next steps for public agencies' efforts in training evaluation.
尽管人们认为公共儿童福利机构的员工培训是有效实践的关键组成部分,但对于培训干预措施的实施情况和效果却知之甚少。文献中发表的评估很少,而且不确定有多少评估活动正在开展和得到利用。本研究从美国48个公共儿童福利机构收集了有关培训评估的开展情况和培训数据利用情况的数据。这些数据是在为公共机构培训评估工作规划下一步行动的背景下进行讨论的。
