Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Evaluation

Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Evaluation is a framework for assessing training programs. The levels are: 1. **Reaction**: How participants feel about the training—did they find it useful? 2. **Learning**: The knowledge or skills gained from the training—what did they learn? 3. **Behavior**: Whether participants apply what they've learned in their work—are they using new skills? 4. **Results**: The impact the training has on the organization—did it improve performance or achieve goals? This approach helps organizations determine the effectiveness of their training efforts systematically.
