This new, third edition of Jack Phillips's classic Handbook of Training Evaluation and Measurement Methods shows the reader not only how to design, implement, and assess the effectiveness of HRD programs, but how to ultimately measure their return on investment (ROI). Each chapter has been revised and updated to include additional research, expanded coverage, and new examples of Dr. Phillips's case studies. Seven entirely new chapters have also been added, focusing largely on ROI.

This text teaches the reader how to measure the effectiveness of any training programme, using objective, time-tested tools and techniques. It explains how to measure what a programme's participants have learnt and shows how to calculate the net impact on the organization.

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.

This book details a unique training evaluation approach developed by David J. Basarab, Sr. currently the Manager of Evaluation at Motorola University. This approach was developed in part based on information from his graduate coursework with Dr. Darrell K. Root, professor of program evaluation and educational administration at the University of Dayton. It enabled Motorola to evaluate their corporate training programs to determine whether money spent on training was an investment or an expense. This evaluation approach is also significant in determining either the effectiveness of or the opportunities to improve corporate training programs. In this text, The Training Evaluation Process, David Basarab and Darrell Root provide commercial industry training with a step-by-step approach to use when evaluating training progrruns, thus allowing training to be viewed as an investment rather than an expense. This text focuses on assessing training programs, so that they may be improved. This approach provides a successful procedure to use when evaluating training programs. Included in the text is a comprehensive explanation of the evaluation model developed by D. L. Kirkpatrick (Kirkpatrick, D. L., November 1959) in which he described four levels of evaluating training progrruns: Level 1 -Reaction: Evaluate to learn participants' perception to the training program. Level 2 -Learning: Evaluate to determine whether participants have learned the course subject matter. Level 3 -Behavior: Evaluate participants' use of newly acquired job skills on the job. Level 4 -Results: Evaluate the organizational impact of training on company's workforce.

Training without evaluation is like travelling without a destination. Today's trainers need to demonstrate that what they are doing produces a benefit to the organization that employs them.Sharon Bartram and Brenda Gibson, authors of the highly successful Training Needs Analysis, have turned their attention to the equally important issue of evaluation. They maintain that, by measuring both the results of the learning that takes place and its effect on individuals, departments and organizations, trainers can help people to change their everyday behaviour. And the more you evaluate, the closer you come to creating an environment where learning is a natural part of everyone's routine.This manual provides a variety of tools and techniques for measuring results. Part One introduces the idea of the evaluation audit. It examines factors such as organizational culture, readiness for learning and evaluation strategy, and shows how to assess current practice and how to plan for the future. Part Two contains 24 instruments for measuring training effectiveness and the impact of training at various levels. They are designed to help you answer two key questions: 'What have people learned?' and 'What difference has their learning made to them, to their department and to the organization?' The forms in Part Two can be copied for immediate use or adapted to suit the needs of your own organization.Evaluating Training can be used:- as a means of personal development for trainers- to establish a systematic approach to training evaluation- as a basis for reviewing whatever evaluation you already undertake.Whether you are new to evaluation or an 'old hand', you will find much to help you here.
