During the evaluation phase, trainers can measure how well a project achieved its goals by administering a short survey. A pre-test and post-test can measure how well the learning objectives were met. In a classroom setting, assessments are given regularly to evaluate the students' understanding of the content.
However, in the workplace it takes more time to measure changes such as workplace behaviors and improved business goals. In the workforce, you want to measure long-term improvements rather than the immediate results.
Effective training helps employees to make long term changes in their work environment. Similarly, a great educator will instruct their students and the the students will retain the information or activity. A great teacher does not teach students information just to remember it for the upcoming test. Students who retain information are able to use that information over and over, and make connections with that information to analyze and collaborate with others. Just like in the workforce, teachers want their students to build on their knowledge from previous years and add to that foundation in order to have lasting information that can be used indefinitely.
