Criteria groups
Criteria are questions or statements that are behavioral indicators that can be used to assess whether an employee has a certain competency, training, skills, etc.
In LMS Collaborator, criteria are combined into groups.
Criteria groups combine criteria according to their relation to a certain competence, skill, meaning group.
Criteria groups are used in the system to create checklists and evaluation (360,180, feedback collection, etc.).
Criteria formulation
The criteria should cover the core competencies you want to assess. The more important the competency, the more questions-affirmations should reveal it. It is very important that the criteria themselves are clear, unambiguous, and do not contain complex or ambiguous terms.
When formulating affirmation questions, keep in mind that in many cases it is undesirable to demand a "black/white" answer, since not all formulations can imply honest and objective answers such as "always shows up" or "never shows up," such as "Never criticizes the company's strategies and management decisions: "Never and in no form criticizes the company's strategies and management decisions," "Always ready to sacrifice his own interests for the sake of the common ones," or "Never irritated, does not show negative emotions.".
An example of an inappropriate affirmation question: "Tolerant of the peculiarities of others" - not all respondents may be familiar with the term. Another example: "In conflict, tends to compromise." The answer depends on how the person understands the strategy of compromise. Perhaps he or she perceives it on a domestic level as a desire to accommodate others, or he or she considers it not the most successful because he or she prefers cooperation (especially if he or she has successfully undergone conflict management training). As a result, the assessment will not be entirely accurate.
That is, the following rules should be followed when drafting affirmation questions:
- avoid terms and ambiguities,
- use comprehensible words,
- avoid extremes.
Creating and completing criteria groups
To create criteria and criteria groups go to the Assessment - Criteria groups menu.
The Criteria groups page displays a table listing all previously created groups with the following columns and settings:
(1) - Title and description of the criteria group;
(2) - Criteria - a list of criteria included in the group;
(3) - Tags - if necessary, tags can be added to the criteria group;
(4) - Creation date - date the criteria group was created.
All columns can be searched and sorted. To reset all filters at once, click the Reset filter(5) button .
The following Actions are provided for each criteria group:
(6) - edit the criteria group;
(7) - duplicate the criteria group - a copy of the criteria group with all criteria will be created;
(8) - remove the criteria group with all nested criteria.
You can also remove criteria groups using the Group Action. To do this, check the checkboxes for the desired groups and click the Remove button in the upper right corner.
To create a new Criteria Group, click the Create (9) button.
On the group creation page, specify the Group Title, if necessary, add a description that will be displayed in the Criteria Groups table, and tags, and click the Save button.
Also, the Title of the Criteria Group and description will be displayed to the user during the assessment.
After saving the new Criteria Group, the page of this group will open, to which you need to add criteria.
To add a new criterion, click the Add criterion button.
Each criterion is a question-statement against which the assessment is conducted. It is recommended to indicate a short formulation of the question in the Title field. A description can be added to each criterion to clarify its content or provide the user with additional explanations about the assessment.
A description of the criteria is displayed to the user during the assessment.
After adding criteria, the Groups page will display a list of all created criteria included in this group.
The following Actions are available for each criterion:
(1) - Edit - edit the name and description of the criterion;
