Appraisal Methods
100
Type of learning curve in which the amount of learning or skill level increases rapidly at first & then the rate of improvement slows.
What is decreasing returns?
100
Level of learning characterized by ability to make judgements?
What is evaluation?
100
In this level of Bloom's Taxonomy, the learner would be able to respond to new situations & determine trouble-shooting techniques & solutions.
What is synthesis?
100
An appraisal too that provides both positive & negative actions for an entire rating period. Limitations: defined or identified differently by each supervisor & cataloguing these incidents for each employee on a daily or weekly basis may be time consuming.
What is critical incidents?
100
Most commonly used category rating method, where the appraiser checks the appropriate place on the scale for each task listed. Limitation is that sometimes separate activities may be grouped together & rated as a unit rather than individually.
What is graphic scale?
200
Typc of learning curve in which progress is initially slow because basics are being learned but then performance takes off after the initial learning phase.
What is increasing returns?
200
Composing goals & objectives, defining the target audience & selecting an instructional designer.
What is design?
200
In this level of of Bloom's Taxonomy, the learner translates or interprets information.
What is comprehension
200
An appraisal tool used frequently by managers to appraise employees, where employees help set objectives for themselves defining what they intend to achieve within specified time period, based on overall goals & objectives for organization.
What is management by objectives (MBO)?
200
Appraiser is given list of statements or words & checks the items on the list that describe the characteristics & performance of an employee. Limited by interpretation of words or statements by each appraiser.
What is checklist?
300
Type of learning curve in which learning occurs in a series of increasing or decreasing returns; usually seen when an employee is attempting to learn a difficult task that also requires specific insight.
What is S curve?
300
Phase of ADDIE model in which data is collected to identify gaps between actual & desired organizational performance.
What is assessment?
300
In this level of Bloom's Taxonomy, the learner understands information to the level of being able to break it down & explain how it fits together.
What is analysis?
300
This appraisal tool is designed to combat problems of category rating by describing examples of desirable or undesirable behavior.
What is behaviorally anchored rating scale (BARS)?
300
Variation on check list method, in which appraiser is required to check two of four statements: on that the employee is "most like & that the employee is "least like". Limitation: difficult to construct valid statements.
What is forced choice?
400
Type of learning curve in which learning is fast at first but then flattens out with no apparent progress.
What is plateau curve?
400
Phase of ADDIE model in which the program is delivered to target audience & is most visible phase.
What is implementation?
400
In this level of Bloom's Taxonomy, the learning would be able to use learned information the new situation.
What is application?
400
Appraisal rater error where appraiser is reluctant to give high ratings.
What is strictness?
400
Appraiser lists all employees from highest to lowest.
What is ranking?
500
These graphically depict individual rates of learning over time, with learning proficiency indicated vertically & elapsed time indicated horizontally & may include multiple learning curves.
What is learning curve?
500
Phase of Addie model is materials are created, purchased &/or modified to meet stated objectives.
What is development?
500
In this level of Bloom's Taxonomy, the learner is in the highest level of learning because it allows the learner to make judgments.
What is evaluation?
500
Appraisal rater error where appraisers who don't want to give low scores.
What is leniency?
500
Each of the employees is paired with every other employee & compared, one at a time, using same scale for performance. Limitation: time required to evaluate each possible pair of employees.
What is paired comparisons?
