Book excerpt: An updated edition of the bestselling classic Donald Kirkpatrick is a true legend in the training field: he is a past president of ASTD, a member of Training magazine's "HRD Hall of Fame," and the recipient of the 2003 "Lifetime Achievement Award in Workplace Learning and Performance" from ASTD In 1959 Donald Kirkpatrick developed a four-level model for evaluating training programs. Since then, the "Kirkpatrick Model" has become the most widely used approach to training evaluation in the corporate, government, and academic worlds. Evaluating Training Programs provided the first comprehensive guide to Kirkpatrick's Four Level Model, along with detailed case studies of how the model is being used successfully in a wide range of programs and institutions. This new edition includes revisions and updates of the existing material plus new case studies that show the four-level model in action. Going beyond just using simple reaction questionnaires to rate training programs, Kirkpatrick's model focuses on four areas for a more comprehensive approach to evaluation: Evaluating Reaction, Evaluating Learning, Evaluating Behavior, and Evaluating Results. Evaluating Training Programs is a how-to book, designed for practitiners in the training field who plan, implement, and evaluate training programs. The author supplements principles and guidelines with numerous sample survey forms for each step of the process. For those who have planned and conducted many programs, as well as those who are new to the training and development field, this book is a handy reference guide that provides a practical and proven model for increasing training effectiveness through evaluation. In the third edition of this classic bestseller, Kirkpatrick offers new forms and procedures for evaluating at all levels and several additional chapters about using balanced scorecards and "Managing Change Effectively." He also includes twelve new case studies from organizations that have been evaluated using one or more of the four levels--Caterpillar, Defense Acquisition University, Microsoft, IBM, Toyota, Nextel, The Regence Group, Denison University, and Pollack Learning Alliance.

Download or read book The Training Evaluation Process written by David J. Basarab Sr. and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details a unique training evaluation approach developed by David J. Basarab, Sr. currently the Manager of Evaluation at Motorola University. This approach was developed in part based on information from his graduate coursework with Dr. Darrell K. Root, professor of program evaluation and educational administration at the University of Dayton. It enabled Motorola to evaluate their corporate training programs to determine whether money spent on training was an investment or an expense. This evaluation approach is also significant in determining either the effectiveness of or the opportunities to improve corporate training programs. In this text, The Training Evaluation Process, David Basarab and Darrell Root provide commercial industry training with a step-by-step approach to use when evaluating training progrruns, thus allowing training to be viewed as an investment rather than an expense. This text focuses on assessing training programs, so that they may be improved. This approach provides a successful procedure to use when evaluating training programs. Included in the text is a comprehensive explanation of the evaluation model developed by D. L. Kirkpatrick (Kirkpatrick, D. L., November 1959) in which he described four levels of evaluating training progrruns: Level 1 -Reaction: Evaluate to learn participants' perception to the training program. Level 2 -Learning: Evaluate to determine whether participants have learned the course subject matter. Level 3 -Behavior: Evaluate participants' use of newly acquired job skills on the job. Level 4 -Results: Evaluate the organizational impact of training on company's workforce.

Download or read book Evaluating Training written by Sharon Bartram and published by Gower Publishing Company, Limited. This book was released on 1999 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training without evaluation is like travelling without a destination. Today's trainers need to demonstrate that what they are doing produces a benefit to the organization that employs them.Sharon Bartram and Brenda Gibson, authors of the highly successful Training Needs Analysis, have turned their attention to the equally important issue of evaluation. They maintain that, by measuring both the results of the learning that takes place and its effect on individuals, departments and organizations, trainers can help people to change their everyday behaviour. And the more you evaluate, the closer you come to creating an environment where learning is a natural part of everyone's routine.This manual provides a variety of tools and techniques for measuring results. Part One introduces the idea of the evaluation audit. It examines factors such as organizational culture, readiness for learning and evaluation strategy, and shows how to assess current practice and how to plan for the future. Part Two contains 24 instruments for measuring training effectiveness and the impact of training at various levels. They are designed to help you answer two key questions: 'What have people learned?' and 'What difference has their learning made to them, to their department and to the organization?' The forms in Part Two can be copied for immediate use or adapted to suit the needs of your own organization.Evaluating Training can be used:- as a means of personal development for trainers- to establish a systematic approach to training evaluation- as a basis for reviewing whatever evaluation you already undertake.Whether you are new to evaluation or an 'old hand', you will find much to help you here.
