Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess variables related to participant retention of workshop knowledge at TRIO Training. The workshop provided professional development training on General Project Management for TRIO Programs personnel. Ninety-three participants completed a pre/posttest examination to detect knowledge gain from workshop participation. Along with data from the test scores, information was gathered on the length of TRIO involvement, gender, geographic location, education and participation in a technology workshop session to detect the influence of these factors on the posttest scores. Results from these posttest scores suggest that the implied knowledge gain was statistically significant. Factors such as length of TRIO involvement, gender, education and geographic location were not found to affect the increase in scores. The use of technology in a workshop session did show a low correlation for increasing the scores.
