Abstract

The purpose of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of training for the state of Illinois and identify training delivery methods currently being utilized by the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) Illinois members. A survey was developed and made available to members of all five Illinois ASTD chapters. A total of 169 Illinois ASTD members responded. The survey created an inventory of all training delivery methods used and identified the most utilized training and delivery method and most perceived effective training and delivery method. The majority of respondents indicated the single most utilized training and delivery method as traditional classroom, instructor approach. Results of this study also indicated that the most utilized training and delivery method may not be the same method perceived to be most effective by all Illinois ASTD members. Recommendations for practice related to program evaluation and recommendations for further research are discussed.
