An evaluation of training materials for county 4-H councils

This study focuses on county 4-H council training materials developed by Kentucky 4-H. The purpose is to make recommendations for maintaining or strengthening the content of the training materials against training objectives. An analysis of the training material content identified three categories: objectives, topics, and sub-topics. An audit of the materials determined that all sub-topic and topic content categories supported a training objective. Two survey instruments were developed to measure the response of training participants to content ideas presented in two sessions. The study indicates response of participants of perceptions of change in understanding of content ideas resulting from training and recommendations made.
