Learning and Performance – Week 4 Assignment
Kirkpatrick’s Levels of Evaluation
As we discuss so many concepts impacting training, one of its most crucial components is a training evaluation conducted immediately and post-training. Kirkpatrick developed his model in 1959, and further developed it in 1975 showing four levels:
• Level 4: Results
• Level 3: Behavior
• Level 2: Learning
• Level 1: Reaction
Some critics feel that Kirkpatrick’s model is outdated, calling it “old and simple,” but some of its core concepts are applicable (Kirkpatrick’s Four Level Evaluation Model, 2018). Proper training evaluation can help us in planning our next training, adjusting training activities, changing some of the core concepts, and ultimately do better in the future.
