THE TNA REPORT

By: Marietta L. Verchez


It is important that the process and results of the
conducted TNA is documented. After the completion of the
administration of the TNA and analysis of the information,
you must be able to come up with a report that contains all
the data and recommendations that will be useful to your
client.
Recommended Format of TNA Report
1. Title – This should be short and precise. It should
tell the reader the nature of your research.
◦ 2. Background – This is a brief account of the rationale for the
choice of the topic for research. It should describe the
circumstances that prompted you to undertake the research.
3. Objective – these are the goals intended to be attained by
the study. Objective is derived from the goal. It ahs the
same intention as a goal, but it is more specific, quantifiable
and verifiable than the goal. Every objective must start with
the word “To”.
The objectives of the project should be “SMART” They
should be:
Specific – clear about what, where, when and how the
situation will be changed.
◦ Measurable – Able to quantify the targets and benefits
◦ Achievable – able to attain the objectives
◦ Realistic – able to obtain the level of change reflected in
the objective
◦ Time Bounded – statting the time period in which they will
each be accomplished.
4. Methodology – the following information should be covered in
the methodology:
 The design of the study – whether it is a case study, survey, a
controlled experiment, a meta-analysis or some other type of
research, is conveyed through the procedures subsection;
The activities of the researcher – are also described, such
as what was said to the participants, how groups were
formed, what control mechanisms were employed, etc. The
description is sufficient if enough detail is presented for
the reader to replicate the essential elements of the study. It
is important for the procedures to conform to ethical
criteria for the researchers;
Description of the respondents with sufficient details
needed so that it is clear what population(s) the sample
represents. A discussion of how the sample was formed is
needed for reliability and understanding your study; and
description of the research instrument, including surveys,
tests, questionnaires, interview forms and other tools used
to provide data, should appear in this subsection. Evidence
of reliability and validity should be presented.
5. Results – the results section should clearly convey the findings of
the study. It should provide the summary details about what are
found rather than an exhaustion listing of every possible analysis and
every data point.
Presenting Data in Tables and Graphs
The following guidelines must be observed in presenting the
result of the study:
 do not present the same data in two (2) or more ways i.e. use
either a table or a graph, or just text;
Remember that a graph should be understandable independently of
any text, but you may accompany each with a description, if
necessary;
Use clear and concise titles for each figure. Say which variables
the graph or table compares; and
Describe what the graph or table shows, then check that this really
is what it shows. If it isn’t, you need to amend your figure, or your
description.
Statistical Analysis
Say which test you used;
Show how your results were analyzed, laying out your
calculations clearly (ensure you include the level of probability or
significance p or P, and the number of observation made); and
Clearly state the results of the analysis whether the result was
statistically significant or not as numbers and in words.
6. Conclusion – the conclusion section briefly summarizes the main
issues arising from your report. It should relate to the research
problem and be based from the hypothesis. Drawing up conclusion
should be seen as a means to an end rather than an end in itself.
Conclusion should lead to positive proposals for future action.
7. Recommendation – should advise the researchers/reader on how to
make decisions based on the conducted TNA. Recommendations are
means through which policy decisions are made.

a) short and long-term recommendations

Short term recommendations refers to recommendation that is


intended to last or serve for a limited time, while long-term
recommendation, relatively true for a long period of time.
b) Specified outcomes and strategies – you may present your
specified outcomes and corresponding strategies in a table format for
easy identification:
Outcome is something that follows a result or consequence.
Strategies – is a high level set of directives that articulates
how the organization will achieve its mission and move towards its
vision.

c) Resource requirements – refer to resources needed to accomplish


the task.
d) Provision of training and /or assessment services – the details on the
conditions/terms necessary in the conduct of the suggested training program
should be presented in the recommendation. The condition/terms will serve as
basis in the implementation of the training programs, e.g. requiring for a pre-
requisite subject/unit of competency and establishing set of qualifications for the
training participants.

Conditions/terms may also reflect the assessment procedures explain the


manner trainee/participants will be evaluated after the training program in order
to measure the developments in the knowledge, skills and attitude of the
trainee/participant. This will also validate the effectiveness of the training
program.
e) Contextualization of the competency standards to meet client goals – this
refers to the priority skills and abilities that are identified as critical in the TNA
and should be given priority by the client in designing the training program.

f) Administrative and Management System – refer to the system utilized


during the conduct of the TNA that you would like to improve or sustain for
future use. It may also pertain to the administrative and management system you
would like to adopt or utilize in the suggested training programs.
g) Performance Management System – if the TNA is intended for employees,
it is important that you include in the recommendation the effectiveness of the
existing performance management system, or modifications you should like to
suggest for the improvement of the current system.

h) Training and Professional Development Principles – using the result,


provide your clients theories and principles that will be useful to them, e.g.
learning principles on Adult Learning, in case you have identified adult
trainees.
i) Reporting and accountability requirements process – reporting
will communicate the result of the researcher and the respondents.
It will give you the present picture /status of the organization and
what are the gaps that should be addressed to be able to achieve
the goals and objectives of the organization.
Requirements refer to the resources needed whereas the
processes are the systems and methods used /applied in order to
complete the conduct of TNA.
In preparing a 1-page summary TNA report, the following parts/information
must be covered/included and highlighted:

- TNA methodology
- data sampling
- analysis of data (qualitative or quantitative analysis)
- summary of findings
- conclusion and recommendations (this should include the
course brief)
- need analysis technique (gap analysis)
Thank you and Good
Luck on your Assessment!
