Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 人力資源發展系碩士班 === 96 === The training programs for Industry-Academy Cooperation have begun to gain attention since 1991. However, the effectiveness of its practical implementation is not as good as expected due to the lack of consensus toward ways of cooperation and effective communication channels. Nevertheless, with the advocacy of “result-oriented” human resource development, effective training evaluation can not only avoid the displacement of organizational resources, but also can provide relevant suggestions to the improvement of training planning and implementation.
According to the above-mentioned rationale, this study adopt Kirkpatrick’s four levels evaluation model (reaction, learning, behavior, and results level) as the framework to evaluate an On-the-Job Moulds and Precision Machinery Industries Master Program of a university of technology. Through questionnaires and semi-structured in-depth interviews, the following results are obtained:
1. Reaction level: The trainees showed a positive perspective toward the training program. The overall satisfaction is good.
2. Learning level: The trainees indicated that the knowledge and skills regarding new rapid tooling technology, design of machine elements, and thermal analysis were learned.
3. Behavior level: The trainees noted that it was practicable to apply the knowledge and skills regarding new rapid tooling technology, design of machine elements, and thermal analysis to the workplace.
4. Results level: The trainees considered that the application of knowledge and skills learned from this program contributed more on skill advancement of R&D personnel. However, the application on product design and development, product itself, and product application were limited.
In conclusion, suggestions were given separately toward: 1. government institutions; 2. industries; 3. colleges and universities; 4. Design and Implementation of the On-the-Job Moulds and Precision Machinery Industries Master Program; 5. trainees of Industrial Technology R&D On-the-Job Master Program.
