Question

Using New World Kirkpartner Model.Describe the four stages of this model of Nurses in a Hospital who have taken the training.Describe briefly in the form of 6-7 slides (2000 words)

Answer 1

Kirkpatrick's purpose for proposing his new model was to motivate training directors to see the imporance of evaluation and to increase their efforts to evaluate their training programs. It four levels :-

Level 1: Reaction

first level of Kirkpatrick's 4-level model of training evaluation

The first level of evaluation is the assessment of learners' reaction or attitudes toward their learning experience.

Level 2: Learning

second level of Kirkpatrick's 4-level model of training evaluation

In level 2 evaluation, the goal is to determine what the participants in teh training program learned. By "learning" Kirkpatric (1998) has in mind "the extent to which participants change attitudes, improve knowledge, and/or increase skill as a result of attending the program"

Level 3: Behavior (Transfer of Training)

Third level of Kirkpatrick's 4-level model of training evaluation

Here the evaluator's goal is to determine whether the training program participants change their on-the-job behavior (OJB) as a result of having attended and participated in the training program.

Level 4: Results

fourth level of Kirkpatricks 4-level model of training evaluation

Here the evaluator's goal is to find out if the training leads to "final results," including but not limited to financial results such as a positive return on investment.
