Written tests are a method to evaluate:

Written tests are primarily designed to assess knowledge change. They measure an individual's grasp of the material presented, specifically the information they have learned or retained about fire and life safety concepts. This evaluation method allows educators to determine how well participants understand the key principles, facts, and practices that were taught during the educational sessions.

In the context of fire and life safety education, the ability to recall facts, concepts, and procedures is crucial for ensuring that individuals can effectively apply this information in real-world scenarios where safety is at stake. Knowledge change is therefore a vital aspect of the learning process that written tests specifically target.

Other evaluation methods encompass different facets of learning and behavior that written tests do not directly address, such as changes in behavior or subjective learning experiences, which might require different forms of assessment, like practical demonstrations or self-reflections.
