Abstract: | For almost 40 years, Donald Kirkpatrick's framework for evaluation has been used as a basic model for the identification and
targeting of training-specific interventions in business, government, military, and industry alike. By approaching evaluation
from four different perspectives—reaction, learning, behavior, and results—the model has provided a solid basis for the examination
of training's impact on the organization. Despite the current practice of measuring one's success according to the success
of one's clients, proposed changes in the model have not been frequently adopted. It is therefore likely time for professionals
to reevaluate the utility and responsiveness of the Kirk-patrick framework to meet the value-added requirements of today's
organizations. This article identifies tools and concepts for being responsive to the new organizational realities not originally
addressed by the Kirkpatrick model. |
