Determine the indicator's value by using the following methodology:
1) Define a limited number of the most important knowledge and skills that the training participants should gain as a result of completing the training. To avoid having unrealistically high or unnecessarily low requirements, verify the test’s difficulty by pre-testing it with at least 6 people.
2) Prepare a simple test assessing whether the training participants have the predefined, most important knowledge and skills. The tests can use a combination of:
> Questions assessing people’s knowledge about specific waste management practices
> Scenarios where people are asked to describe how s/he would respond to a given situation (i.e. there are no predefined answers)
> Questions asking people to choose between two or more statements (one being correct, one or more being wrong)
> Questions assessing the extent to which people believe common misconceptions related to waste management
> Skills-based tasks where people have to demonstrate the desired skills
3) Decide how many scores will be allocated to each correct answer. For example,
for a correct answer to an easier question you can give one score while for correct answers to more difficult questions / scenarios you can give two scores.
4) Decide the minimum score a training participant needs to achieve to be considered as being “successfully trained” (for example, at least 11 out of 15 points).
5) At the end of the training, administer the post-tests to the training participants. Count the total score of each participant.
6) To calculate the indicator’s value, count the number of training participants who received at least the minimum score (see point 4).
