Training Evaluation Models
Training evaluation models assess the effectiveness of educational programs and training initiatives. They typically measure whether participants have gained knowledge, improved skills, and changed behaviors as a result of the training. Common models include Kirkpatrick's Four Levels (reaction, learning, behavior, results) and Phillips's ROI Method, which also considers the financial return on investment. These models help organizations understand the value of their training efforts, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that learning objectives are being met, ultimately leading to enhanced performance and outcomes.
