Training evaluation refers to activities that determine the effectiveness of training programs based on their objectives. It provides information to assess value and make decisions. Evaluation determines if objectives were met, identifies strengths and weaknesses, compares costs to benefits, and establishes a database to inform future decisions. Common models include Kirkpatrick's four-level model of reaction, learning, behavior, and results, as well as CIRO which evaluates context, inputs, reactions, and outcomes. Data collection methods include interviews, questionnaires, observation, tests, and performance measures, each with advantages and limitations. Proper evaluation design and suggestions can improve the evaluation process.
Do your stakeholders want to see evidence of the program's impact?
By knowing what works in your learning portfolio, you can repeat successes and eliminate ineffective programs. This method is based on the work of Donald L. Kirkpatrick, Dr J. Phillips, Robert Brinkerhoff and Josh Bersin.
"Credible, data-driven and actionable reporting of your training impact and talent programs are critical for making right investment decisions."

The document discusses the importance of evaluating training programs. Evaluation is the last stage of any training and development process and is necessary to determine if the training objectives were achieved and if the organization benefited from the training. It allows organizations to identify which trainees benefited most, the financial costs and benefits of the training, and what changes could make future training more effective. Effective evaluation is continuous, specific, objective, and cost-effective. There are different types of evaluation, including formative, process, outcome, and impact evaluations.
Measuring the Effectiveness of Training - Myth or Reality?Accord
The intangible nature of training coupled with the number oriented measure of ROI, makes 'Training ROI' a holy grail for learning and development professionals. Because of this, most organisations are reluctant to embark on an ambitious project to put in place a framework to measure the effectiveness of training.
However, companies are now beginning to realise that ROI (in its usually accepted format) is not the only way of measuring the effectiveness of training. An effective framework for training starts with aligning all training activities to the business objectives of the organisation.
This presentation shares some key insights based on the Kirkpatrick Model for evaluation of training effectiveness and shows the critical need for HR to play a strategic role in organisations today.

Training evaluation and it's effectivenessMalabika Beura
The document discusses training evaluation techniques used by Tata Sky, an Indian satellite television provider. It describes issues they observed with unproductive communication between employees. To address this, over 120 managers underwent an evaluation and were found to lack skills in communicating productively. Tata Sky piloted several training courses before selecting Crucial Conversations Training from VitalSmarts. Employees found the course engaging and useful in customizing principles to their needs. As a result, teams that had struggled to cooperate reported improved communication, and the positive feedback led more leaders to participate in the training.
Training effectiveness examines the degree to which training improves employee knowledge, skills, and behaviors. It assesses whether employees learned what was taught and can apply it on the job. Organizations use a two-pronged approach: 1) ensuring training effectiveness through best practices in design, development and delivery; and 2) periodically assessing training effectiveness through reviews and continuous improvement. Evaluation models like Kirkpatrick's assess training at multiple levels from reaction to results to determine the impact on individual and organizational outcomes.
The document outlines the 8 step training evaluation process which includes defining the purpose and audience, determining participant needs, setting goals and objectives, developing the content, instructional activities, the written design, evaluation forms, and follow up activities.

This paper was set to examine the approaches to training and development in the banking sector. In line with the assertion made by the literature and the evidences gathered in the process of the study, the following recommendations were made: It is an established fact that the Kirkpatrick approach is widely used, it’s the systematic training and development of personnel on continuous basis that can harness the totality of human resources in the organization, banks should ensure that any training and development approach which takes place is based on proper analysis of its contribution to the effectiveness and efficiency of banking industry. The data collected from different sources was cross checked. Different statistical tools and techniques were used like mean, mode, median, averages, t-test and chi-square. The paper concluded that most of training and development approaches used in the banking industry are that of Kirkpatrick. Each employer who invests seriously in the area of Training and Development needs to understand the approach to use in order to reap the benefits of an enriched working environment with higher levels of staff retention as well as increased productivity and performance. New entrants into organizations have various skills, though not all are relevant to organizational needs, hence the right approach to T&D is crucial. Right approaches to T and D are required for Human Resources to enable them work towards taking the organization to its expected destination. It is against this backdrop of the relative importance of approaches to evaluation of training and development in banks that this paper addressed.

The principles and designs of training evaluation are outlined, along with suggestions for better evaluation.
This document discusses training evaluation, including its purpose, benefits, and process. Training evaluation assesses how effective a training program was at benefiting trainees and the company. It involves collecting outcomes data to determine if the training achieved its goals. Evaluation provides feedback to improve training and control over provision, while demonstrating training's contribution to the organization. Common evaluation methods are expert review, quality review, observation testing, and pilot testing.
Training involves imparting knowledge and skills to improve performance. It is needed due to changing technology, improving productivity and demanding customers. Training scope includes individuals, groups and particular individuals. The training process involves determining needs, developing packages, selecting trainees, and follow up. Training types include soft skills like communication and hard skills like software proficiency. Evaluation assesses reaction, learning, behavior change and results. Kirkpatrick's model is commonly used for evaluating training effectiveness before, during, and after training.
Evaluation is a planned process which provides specific information about a selected session, program for the purpose of determining value or decision making.
Training & development evaluation is a continual and systematic process of assessing the value or potential value of a training program, course, activity or event. Results of the evaluation are used to guide decision-making around various components of the training (e.g. delivery, results) and its overall continuation, modification, or elimination.
The document discusses evaluation of educational programs and learners. It defines evaluation as assessing the worth of teaching and learning. Evaluation is used to make decisions about training programs based on needs assessment, though barriers like lack of training and resistance can exist.

This document proposes a model for programmatic assessment that optimizes assessment for learning while arriving at robust decisions about learner progress. The model distinguishes between learning activities, assessment activities, and learner support activities throughout an ongoing curriculum. Individual assessments are designed to be maximally informative for learning, while a longitudinal program of various assessment methods contributes to certification decisions. The principles discussed include ensuring validity in standardized and non-standardized assessments, using both quantitative and qualitative data, and relying on expert judgement at various evaluation points. An example is provided of how this model could be applied to a blended TeleGeriatrics Nurse Training Course.
All to Review the relevance of evaluation Training
Most to review the Kirkpatrick Four Levels taxonomy and criticisms associated with it;
Some to consider the importance of the balanced scorecard to delivering a complete picture of organisational performance.
This document discusses evaluation of training programs. It begins by outlining Kirkpatrick's four levels of evaluation: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. It then considers criticisms of level 1 (reaction) evaluations, noting they only measure satisfaction rather than learning or performance impact. The document also examines reasons organizations resist comprehensive evaluation, like high costs or difficulties linking training to outcomes. Overall, it emphasizes the importance of evaluation beyond simple reactions to ensure training programs improve learner and organizational outcomes.
Blended learning combines online and other i.docxwrite31
Blended learning combines online and face-to-face instruction to maximize the benefits of both while minimizing the negatives. It evaluates training programs by measuring outcomes like learning, performance, attitudes, and business results. Evaluation involves determining training needs, objectives, outcomes, strategies, and processes to assess effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. Common outcomes include reactions, knowledge, behaviors, results, and return on investment.
Training involves modifying knowledge, skills, and attitudes to improve performance. Its purpose is to enable individuals to acquire abilities needed to adequately perform tasks. A needs assessment is the first step in designing an effective training program. It identifies performance gaps between current and desired states. The needs assessment examines organizations, jobs, competencies, and individuals to determine who needs training and what training is required. This ensures the training objectives address the actual needs and solves performance issues.
CHAPTER 12 DESIGNING AND CONDUCTING SUMMATIVE EVALUATION TruckBCH
This document discusses summative evaluation, which involves collecting outcome data to assess instructional materials and determine their effectiveness. It describes the two main phases of summative evaluation: the expert judgement phase and the field trial phase. The expert judgement phase involves design analysis, content analysis, current user analysis, utility/feasibility analysis, and congruence analysis to evaluate components of the instructional strategy. The field trial phase tests the materials in real environments and analyzes outcomes and management impacts. Summative evaluation aims to judge program effectiveness, while formative evaluation identifies strengths and weaknesses during development.
The document discusses Kirkpatrick's model for evaluating training programs using a four-tier approach. Tier 1 evaluates reactions, Tier 2 evaluates learning, Tier 3 evaluates behavior change, and Tier 4 evaluates results including business impact. Formative and summative evaluation are also discussed. Feedback forms, surveys, tests and business metrics are used to measure outcomes at each tier. The goal is to improve training quality and impact over time based on evaluation results.
The document discusses effective program evaluation and provides a case study example. It begins by outlining why evaluation is needed and common problems with evaluation. Effective evaluation includes planning, frameworks, data collection and analysis plans. A case study on a learning intervention at PolyWrighton to improve work engagement is then described in detail. The intervention was evaluated using a multi-level framework and showed positive results, including a 399% ROI. Additional resources on evaluation and the programs discussed are provided.
The document provides an overview of training and development. It defines training and development, outlines the fundamental elements and steps of the training process, and discusses some purposes and organizational factors affecting training. Specifically, it describes the relationship between training and other HR functions like task analysis, staffing, and performance appraisal. It also explains how an organization's strategy, structure, technology, and attitudes can impact its approach to training.
The document discusses training needs analysis which consists of three types of analysis: organizational analysis, task analysis, and person analysis. Organizational analysis examines factors like the environment, objectives, human resources, and climate. Task analysis identifies the tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities required for a job. Person analysis assesses employee performance through methods like behavioral measures and tests, and diagnoses training needs. The purpose is to systematically determine where training is needed within the organization.
This document discusses various training methods that can be used for on-site and off-site employee training programs. It identifies methods for on-site training like orientation, on-the-job training, apprenticeships, coaching, mentoring, and job rotation. For off-site training it discusses lecture-based learning as well as audio-visual, videoconferencing, role-playing, simulations, and computer-based instruction. The document provides details on how each method can be implemented and their advantages.
The document outlines the steps to systematically develop a training program, including selecting or modifying existing courses, defining objectives, identifying content, structuring the material, writing materials for trainers and students, preparing visual aids, getting peer feedback, and conducting pilot courses to refine the program. It also provides an example of developing a one-day overview course on Total Quality Management for contract employees.
The document discusses effective teaching and learning strategies for training programs. It covers conducting a trainability analysis to assess trainees' ability and motivation. It also discusses arranging training to facilitate learning through active practice, feedback, meaningful material, and accounting for individual differences. The goal is to train individuals who are trainable and ensure what is learned is transferred to the job.
This document discusses training objectives and how to formulate them. It defines objectives as describing intended training results rather than processes. Objectives should be measurable and change cognitive, psychomotor, or affective domains. Objectives provide a basis for materials, methods, evaluation, and trainee effort. When writing objectives, they should describe specific, observable trainee behaviors under certain conditions using a measurable performance standard. Communicating objectives clearly is also important.
This document discusses training needs analysis. It explains that needs analysis involves organizational analysis to determine if training supports business strategy, person analysis to identify who needs training, and task analysis to identify important tasks. Various needs assessment techniques are discussed, including their advantages and disadvantages. The document emphasizes that needs analysis is crucial to determine the appropriate type and content of training, and to ensure training addresses actual performance gaps.
2. Objectives:
At the end of this unit, students will be able
to:
• Explain why evaluation is important.
• Identify and choose outcomes to
evaluate a training program.
• Discuss the process used to plan and
implement a good training evaluation.
• Discuss the strengths and weaknesses
of different evaluation designs.
• Explain the process of conducting a cost-
benefit analysis for a training program.
3. Introduction
• Training effectiveness
– the benefits that the company and the trainees
receive from training
• Training outcomes or criteria
– measures that the trainer and the company use to
evaluate training programs
• Training evaluation
– the process of collecting the outcomes needed to
determine if training is effective
• Evaluation design
– from whom, what, when, and how information
needed for determining the effectiveness of the
training program will be collected
4. Reasons for Evaluating
Training
• Companies are investing millions of dollars
in training programs to help gain a
competitive advantage
• Training investment is increasing because
learning creates knowledge
– This differentiates between those
companies and employees who are
successful and those who are not
• Because companies have made large dollar
investments in training and education and
view training as a strategy to be
successful, they expect the outcomes or
benefits related to training to be
measurable
7. Formative Evaluation
• The evaluation of training that takes place
during program design and development
• Helps to ensure that:
– the training program is well organized and runs
smoothly
– trainees learn and are satisfied with the
program
• Provides information about how to make
the program better
8. Pilot Testing
• The process of previewing the training
program with potential trainees and
managers or with other customers
• It can be used:
– as a “dress rehearsal” to show the program to
managers, trainees, and customers
– for formative evaluation
9. Summative Evaluation
• Evaluation conducted to determine
the extent to which trainees have
changed as a result of participating in
the training program
• May also measure the return on
investment (ROI) that the company
receives from the training program
10. Why Should A Training Program Be
Evaluated?
• To identify the program’s strengths
and weaknesses
• To assess whether content,
organization, and administration of
the program contribute to learning
and the use of training content on the
job
• To identify which trainees benefited
most or least from the program
11. Why Should A Training Program Be
Evaluated?-ctd.
• To gather data to assist in marketing
training programs
• To determine the financial benefits
and costs of the programs
• To compare the costs and benefits of
training versus non-training
investments
• To compare the costs and benefits of
different training programs to choose
the best program

Outcomes
15. • Cognitive outcomes
– determine the degree to which trainees are
familiar with the principles, facts, techniques,
procedures, or processes emphasized in the
training program
– measure what knowledge trainees learned in the
program
• Skill-based outcomes
– assess the level of technical or motor skills
– include acquisition or learning of skills and use
of skills on the job
16. • Affective outcomes
– include attitudes and motivation
– reaction outcomes – trainees’ perceptions
of the program including the facilities,
trainers, and content
• Results
– determine the training program’s payoff
for the company
17. • Return on Investment (ROI)
– comparing the training’s monetary
benefits with the cost of the training
• direct costs
• indirect costs
• benefits
19. Good Outcomes:
Relevance
• Criteria relevance – extent to which
training programs are related to
learned capabilities emphasized in the
training program
• Criterion contamination – extent that
training outcomes measure
inappropriate capabilities or are
affected by extraneous conditions
• Criterion deficiency – failure to measure
training outcomes that were
emphasized in the training objectives

24. Evaluation Designs: Threats to
Validity
• Threats to validity refer to a factor that
will lead one to question either:
– the believability of the study results
(internal validity), or
validity)
– the extent to which the evaluation
results are generalizable to other groups
of trainees and situations (external
validity)

29. Factors That Influence the Type
of Evaluation Design
Factor How Factor Influences Type of Evaluation Design
Change potential Can program be modified?
Importance Does ineffective training affect customer service, product development, or
relationships between employees?
Scale How many trainees are involved?
Purpose of training Is training conducted for learning, results, or both?
Organization culture Is demonstrating results part of company norms and expectations?
Expertise Can a complex study be analyzed?
Cost Is evaluation too expensive?
Time frame When do we need the information?
30. Importance of Training Cost
Information - ROI
• To understand total expenditures for
training, including direct and indirect costs
• To compare costs of alternative training
programs
• To evaluate the proportion of money spent
on training development, administration,
and evaluation as well as to compare
monies spent on training for different
groups of employees
• To control costs
31. To calculate return on investment
(ROI), follow these steps:
1. Identify outcome(s) (e.g., quality,
accidents)
2. Place a value on the outcome(s)
3. Determine the change in performance
after eliminating other potential
influences on training results.
4. Obtain an annual amount of benefits
(operational results) from training by
comparing results after training to results
before training (in dollars)
32. To Calculate Return on
Investment (ROI), follow these
steps: ctd.
5. Determine training costs (direct costs +
indirect costs + development costs +
overhead costs + compensation for
trainees)
6. Calculate the total savings by subtracting
the training costs from benefits
(operational results)
7. Calculate the ROI by dividing benefits
(operational results) by costs
The ROI gives you an estimate of the dollar
return expected from each dollar invested in
training.

34. Measuring Human Capital and
Training Activity
• Expenditure per employee
• Learning hours received per employee
• Expenditure as a percentage of revenue
• Cost per learning hour received
• Percentage of expenditures for external services
• Learning hours received per training and
development staff member
• Average percentage of learning activities
outsourced
• Average percentage of learning content by
content area (e.g. basic skills, customer service,
executive development)
• Average percentage of learning hours provided
via different delivery methods (instructor led,
technology based)
9 The following suggestions specify the types of changes in jobs that are most likely to lead to improvements in each of the five core dimensions. (1) Combine tasks - managers should put existing fractionalized tasks back together to form a new, larger module of work. This increases skill variety and task identify. (2) Create natural work units - managers should design tasks that form an identifiable and meaningful whole. This increases employee “ownership” of the work and encourages employees to view their work as meaningful and important rather than as irrelevant and boring. (3) Establish client relationships - the client is the user of the product or service that the employee works on. Whenever possible, managers should establish direct relationships between workers and their clients. This increases skill variety, autonomy, and feedback for the employee. (4) Expand jobs vertically - vertical expansion means giving employees responsibilities and controls that were formerly reserved for management. It partially closes the gap between the “doing” and “controlling” aspects of the job, and it increases employee autonomy. (5) Open feedback channels - by increasing feedback, employees not only learn how well they are performing their jobs but also whether their performances are improving, deteriorating, or remaining at a constant level. Ideally, employees should receive performance feedback directly as they do their jobs rather than from management on an occasional basis.
