Study Notes
Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Evaluation
- Developed by Donald Kirkpatrick in 1959 and updated in 1998
- The model represents a series of steps to evaluate training programs and is considered an industry standard
Level 1: Reaction
- Measures the participant's reaction immediately after the training program
- Evaluates attitude and opinion of the trainees about various aspects of the training (boarding, lodging, timetable, trainees' behavior, classroom, course content, etc.)
- A positive reaction from key persons influences the future of the program, while a negative reaction reduces the motivation to learn among participants
Level 2: Learning
- Uses a standardized questionnaire administered before and after the program to assess:
- Degree of improvement/change in knowledge, skills, and attitude of trainees as a result of training
- The extent of learning achieved by the trainees
Level 3: Behavior
- Evaluates the extent to which the trainees applied the learning and changed their behavior
- Typically conducted 3-4 months after the training to assess the performance of the trainees
- Focuses on the application of learning in the workplace
Level 4: Results
- The final impact results of the training program are taken into consideration
- Evaluates the tangible outcomes of the training, such as:
- Increased production
- Improved quality
- Decreased costs
- Increased sales
- Reduced turnover
- Higher profits
- Considered the "acid test" of the training program's effectiveness
