Abstract | Managers and program sponsors are often unaware of possible alternatives to costly training evaluation procedures and do not have criteria for selecting alternatives. What is needed is an understanding of the various levels of evaluating training programs, feasible alternatives, and decision criteria for choosing the right system. It is proposed that Kirkpatrick's four levels of training evaluation, plus three enhancements be used: (1) Level 2 enhancement, perceptions of objective mastery; (2) Level 3 enhancement, perceptions of objective transfer; and (3) Level 4 enhancement, utility theory estimates. The first two alternatives involve using surveys and existing instructional objectives. The last alternative involves utility calculations based on the Schmidt, Hunter, and Pearlman (1982) model. Decisions about implementing training evaluation and the degree of sophistication should be based on the criteria of feasibility, propriety, utility, and accuracy. By mapping these criteria against the four-plus levels of evaluation, a decision matrix is obtained, and organizational trainers and educators are able to determine the appropriate degree of evaluation of their training programs. One figure presents the decision matrix. (Contains 15 references.) (Author/SLD) |
