Tips for trainers : introducing the 'H-form' : a method for monitoring and evaluation
This article describes a new tool, the H-form (or Rugby Post form), to facilitate monitoring and evaluation exercises. The method is described in detail, as are options for developing it further, depending on the objectives of the exercise. This tool helps individuals and/or groups to record their own views and ideas in a non-threatening and open, yet structured, way which fosters individual expression as well as common understanding and consensus. The sequence and clear framework that the H-form provides keeps discussion focused, specific, progressive and can easily lead to action points.
