Which term refers to testing whether trainees learned the principles, skills, and facts they were supposed to learn?

• A. Learning
• B. Reaction
• C. Behavior
• D. Analyze

Answer: (A)

Measuring whether trainees gained the intended knowledge and abilities is what this term is about. It focuses on whether the principles, skills, and facts taught have actually been learned, using tools like tests, quizzes, demonstrations, or practical tasks to show learners’ gains. This is different from measuring how learners felt about the training (reaction) or whether they later apply what they learned on the job (behavior). The term isn’t typically used for evaluating program data or analyses (that would be different work, not the learner’s acquisition). So, the best answer is the one that directly captures learner gains in knowledge and skills.
