Which activity worked as intended?
An activity's intended result gives facilitators a reference for describing what happened. Compare observations with learner feedback before treating successful delivery as evidence of learning.

A useful starting point
A questionnaire for training facilitator debrief.
Capture delivery lessons from the people running a learning session. Choose the questions that fit the experience you are investigating; avoid asking people to evaluate a step they did not encounter.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Where did participants need extra guidance?
Extra guidance identifies where planned instructions did not support participants adequately. Record the task and intervention needed so the next facilitator can adjust scaffolding or pacing.
What resource was missing?
A missing resource reveals preparation that the delivery team could address before another session. Verify its intended use and availability instead of assuming every request needs new material.
Which transition affected the session timing?
Transition difficulties show how movement between activities affects the schedule. Examine instructions, equipment and setup time before blaming an activity's content or shortening all exercises.
What should the next facilitator know?
Handover advice captures practical conditions that a lesson plan may omit. Preserve a concrete observation and response so the next facilitator can prepare without treating one session as universal.

Examples to adapt, rather than a validated research instrument.
A worked interpretation example
From a comment to a practical next step.
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Keep the finding specific
Illustrative facilitators describe the same exercise needing more setup than planned.
Choose an action to test
Revise the preparation notes and compare the issue with participant experiences.
Check the experience again
After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Illustrative facilitators describe the same exercise needing more setup than planned. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |

| Which activity worked as intended? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: which activity worked as intended. |
| Where did participants need extra guidance? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: where did participants need extra guidance. |
| What resource was missing? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: what resource was missing. |
| Which transition affected the session timing? | Short open text | Let people explain the experience in their own words. Review this answer for: which transition affected the session timing. |

Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that training facilitator debrief was a completely positive experience?
Which activity worked as intended?
The initial wording assumes a positive evaluation. The revised question asks about the actual situation so a respondent can describe difficulty, uncertainty, or a different experience.
From question to next step
Make the feedback useful.
Set the decision
Write down the decision you want this questionnaire to support: capture delivery lessons from the people running a learning session.
Invite relevant voices
Invite people who experienced the relevant situation. Explain response handling and include an optional skip or not-applicable route. Facilitator observations should be compared with learner feedback rather than treated as the full picture.
Choose an action
Revise the preparation notes and compare the issue with participant experiences.
Read the answers carefully
What the answers cannot tell you.
Facilitator observations should be compared with learner feedback rather than treated as the full picture.
Illustrative facilitators describe the same exercise needing more setup than planned. This is an illustrative interpretation problem rather than a real customer result. Revise the preparation notes and compare the issue with participant experiences.
Before you send it
Questions, answered.
What should I learn from this training facilitator debrief questionnaire?
Capture delivery lessons from the people running a learning session. Start with one decision you can act on rather than using the survey to confirm a preferred answer.
How should I interpret answers to “Where did participants need extra guidance?”?
Read this answer for the concrete issue behind the response. Facilitator observations should be compared with learner feedback rather than treated as the full picture. Compare specific explanations instead of reducing every response to one average.
What would a practical next action look like?
Revise the preparation notes and compare the issue with participant experiences. This is an example action to investigate, not a guaranteed improvement.
When should I send this questionnaire?
Ask after respondents have experienced the specific situation in the first prompt: “Which activity worked as intended?” Allow enough time after a proposed change for people to experience it before repeating the questionnaire.
What should I check after changing the process?
After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Illustrative facilitators describe the same exercise needing more setup than planned. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
