About this title

Synopsis

In 1959 Donald Kirkpatrick developed a four-level model for evaluating training programmes. The "Kirkpatrick Model" has since become the most widely used approach to training evaluation in the corporate, government, and academic worlds. Now, for the first time, Kirkpatrick provides a comprehensive guide to his Four Level Model in "Evaluating Training Programmes", including detailed case studies of how the model is being successfully used in various types of programmes and institutions. Going beyong simple reaction questionnaires to rate training programmes, Kirkpatrick developed four areas on which to focus for a more comprehensive approach to evaluating reaction, learning, behaviour and results. "Evaluating Training Programmes" is a "how-to" book, designed for practitioners in the training field who plan, implement, and evaluate training programmes. The author supplements the book with numerous sample survey forms for each step of the process. For those new to training and development and those who have conducted many programmes, this is a handy reference that provides a proven model for increasing training effectiveness.
