| Abstract: | Needs assessments are traditionally based on an optimals-actuals deficiency model that is utilized before instruction is implemented.
However, in some cases an existing training program may be reassessed to determine what training needs still exist. These
situations could benefit from an excess-based model, where the assessment effort is designed to identify instructional excesses
as well as deficiencies. This article explains the theory and procedures for an innovative needs reassessment approach, the
CODE system. The article also provides some empirical data on the potential value of the CODE process for decisions about
the reallocation of instructional resources in existing training programs. Two exploratory studies were conducted that provide
evidence of the validity of the CODE system: (a) a needs reassessment of a corporate training program, and (b) a medical training
program reassessment. |
