AS-2 reflect

To think deeply or carefully about:

Reflecting on every aspect of the training program is an important aspect while concluding the Craft Innovation Training Program. This session of reflection and feedback is not mandatory but it adds value and also concludes the training program. Each individual participating has his/her own unique experience to share. Learning takes place through the program, but a session of interaction towards the end helps in learning through other participants’ learning as well.

An ideal session of conscious reflection can be achieved through a general interaction session, where every participant talks and shares his/her experience. The quality of output can be evaluated by a team of experts. This helps in understanding the level of the end product, which in turn reflects the level of input. Finally, this judgment of the quality of input and output, the personal feedback and expert evaluation should be internalized and the training program should be summed up and documented.

AS-2a : COLLECT CRITICAL FEEDBACK FORM THE PARTICIPANTS

AS-2b : EVALUATE THE FINAL OUTPUT OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM IN TERMS OF INPUT, QUALITY, OUTPUT.

AS-2a Evaluation Evaluate the various outcomes of the Craft Innovation Training Program with the help of experts as they can rate the quality of output in the most objective and informed manner.

AS-2b Feedback Create a setting that encourages an open conversation. If the number of participants is large, divide them into smaller groups and let them interact within the group. The feedback can also be collected using feedback forms, comments book, suggestion box etc. Feedback conversations are rich in information, and the subtle impressions of a participant’s reactions are often most important to remember. Take some time right after the session to capture whatever was observed.

>> How to Assess and Reflect ?

- Evaluation by the experts involved in the training. - Evaluation and feedback by the other groups/ participants of the Program . - Give participants follow-up materials and contacts for ongoing support. - Evaluate training effectiveness.

- Feedback interactive session among all those involved in the Program. - Group feedback interactions. - Feedback forms, comment books, suggestion box etc.

Even a small gesture that appreciates the efforts of everyone participating in the training programme can add a lot of value to the entire experience of the programme. For example, as a token of remembrance and appreciation, a certificate distribution ceremony often leaves deeper impressions and initiates long-term associations with all members involved.
