This document summarizes Kirkpatrick's model of evaluation, which has four levels: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. It then describes a study that evaluated an intervention to reduce dropout rates in adult distance education programs. The study measured student reaction, learning outcomes, and dropout rates (levels 1-3). Results showed that over time, students were more satisfied with courses and instructors. Pre- and post-tests showed increased learning. The dropout rate decreased significantly from 44% to 22% after interventions were implemented.
10. Due to the effective instructional inputs and processes, DE students achieved significant learning outcomes.
11. Due to the positive reaction to the instructional inputs, learning processes, and successful learning outcomes, they more likely decided to continue to learn via distance education.
