| description | This study was conducted with the objective to evaluate the effectiveness of an
experiential-training-approach using the realities of outdoors activities, conducted by
Banseke Human Resource Development Centre. This study employed the four levels of
the Kirkpatrick Model, focusing on the reaction and learning levels.
To date, more than 4000 people have attended courses conducted by Banseke
using this approach. Generally, the majority of the participants have declared that the
modules have been effective and have helped them. The participants who have
undergone Banseke's Corporate Wargame courses felt that the modules and courses
offered were very innovative and unique. However, a reliable academic evaluation of
the effectiveness of these courses has never been carried out because of the
considerable time and effort required from everyone involved, until this research was
conducted.
This research employed a quantitative approach with utilization of descriptive and
inferential research. Sixty-seven participants on two courses participated in this study.
Another thirty-six participants became the subjects of the pilot test. During the actual
test, the participants were made up of 29% of non-executive level, 40% of junior
executive level and 31 % of managerial level. The questionnaires developed were adopted and adapted from Fisher et al. (1999), Francis and Young (1979), Torres and
Fairbanks (1996), an unpublished survey done by Banseke (2000), Kirkpatrick (1994)
and Daft (1997), using the five-point Likert-type format (1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly
agree). |
