A timely update to a timeless model. Don Kirkpatrick's groundbreaking Four Levels of Training Evaluation is the most widely used training evaluation model in the world. Ask any group of trainers whether they rely on the model's four levels Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results in their practice, and you'll get an enthusiastic affirmation. But how many variations of Kirkpatrick are in use today? And what number of misassumptions and faulty practices have crept in over 60 years? The reality is: Quite a few. James and Wendy Kirkpatrick have written Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Training Evaluation to set the record straight. Delve into James and Wendy's new findings that, together with Don Kirkpatrick's work, create the New World Kirkpatrick Model, a powerful training evaluation methodology that melds people with metrics. In Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Training Evaluation , discover a comprehensive blueprint for implementing the model in a way that truly maximizes your business's results. Using these innovative concepts, principles, techniques, and case studies, you can better train people, improve the way you work, and, ultimately, help your organization meet its most crucial goals. Review: A Must Read for Performance Imporovement Professionals - Congratulations Jim and Wendy! I have read many of your books and this, your newest book is simply outstanding - one of your best. Anyone who is a learning and development or as I would like to say performance improvement professional must read this book to learn how you can partner with your stakeholders to develop and implement sustainable improvement programs that will make a difference. Even if you are very familiar with the New World Kirkpatrick Model, this is a must read - you will learn things that you probably were not aware of. And the case studies are outstanding - they bring the model to life and the reader can really see how it works. And, I appreciate the inclusion of other experts such as in the chapter, "Evaluating Beyond Traditional Classroom Training". You will receive an outstanding Return on Your Expectaations from reading "Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Training" Review: Evaluate or Risk Irrelevance - Evaluation Training Programs was originally published in 1993 by Professor Don Kirkpatrick. Following Don’s death, his son Jim and his wife Wendy have revised Don’s evaluation model, now called the New World Kirkpatrick Model, in their new book, Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Training Evaluation. The model revolves around four steps or levels of training: Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results. For many years, even today, many training programs are good at measuring Reaction (with bubble sheet questions pertaining to the training) and Learning (comparing pre- with post-tests). However, the deeper levels of Behavior (discovering if people changed their behaviors after training) and Results (documenting if their bosses and others see change occur after training) are much tougher to evaluate and are often skipped in favor of the easier first two steps. This book outlines how to go about the process of assessing all four levels and includes several case examples that help illuminate the process. Why is this important? “It [evaluation] is training and development’s bottom line,” says leadership author and authority Elaine Biech in the foreword of the book.

Fantastic read for all Instructional designers
The new Kirkpatrick model doesn't miss a detail. This book changes the way I approach designing training and ensures results that actually move the needle. I'm also feeling more confidence in communicating the value of training interventions to senior leaders.

A revised (better) Kirkpatrick Model
I think this book deals with the shortfalls of the original Kirkpatrick model well. A revamp of the original, incorporating new approaches. I might be wrong but I sense a flavour of Balanced Scorecard approach incorporated into this revised model, which is a good thing. Build what you want to measure first before you implement your training and start measuring. A much holistic view of training evaluation. I am glad I have read this book!

Sehr verständlich für jeden
Für die Bachelorarbeit. Mir persönlich gefällt dieses Buch sehr. Die vier Phasen werden einfach und verständlich erklärt. Es wird immer Bezug auf die alten Auflagen genommen, so dass man dem Inhalt sehr gut folgen kann.
