Objectives
At the end of this lesson you should be able to:
• define Kirkpatrick Model
• design evaluation forms based on the model
Activity
Why is evaluation important?

 Level 1: Reaction

• How do the trainees react to the training they

receive. A common way to measure this is a
survey after a training – what did the
participant think of the training they
received? Did they find it useful?
 Level 2: Learning

• Here’s what the trainee actually learned from

the training. Common ways to measure this
are post-tests or hands-on assignments that
demonstrate the person learned a new skill
 Level 3: Behaviour

• Next is to discover if trainees actually used

those new skills in their day-to-day jobs, i.e.
incorporated it into their behavior. Common
ways to measure this are in-field inspections
or evaluations from managers.
 Level 4: Results

•  Finally, what did this changed behavior

result in? For example, is the industry happy
with the quality of work or do they still have
to re-train them?
Activity

How do you think we should apply

this model?
How to apply the model
• Start with level four and go in reverse.
Why should we apply the model in
reverse?
