In Cornerstone, evaluations help review and measure the impact and return on investment you achieve from your training spend. What you might not be aware of is Cornerstone evaluations follow the Kirkpatrick Model of Evaluations. Before we look at how Cornerstone evaluations can help get more out of your training, let’s have a quick look at the Kirkpatrick model.
Kirkpatrick Model of EvaluationsThe Kirkpatrick model has four levels of evaluations, each of which is defined below:
Level 1: Reaction. Sometimes known as ‘happy sheets’, this evaluates how a learner feels about training they have undertaken. It measures how favourable, engaging, and relevant to their roles learners found the training.
Level 2: Learning. This evaluates the learning that has taken place. Has the learner acquired the intended skills, knowledge, attitude and confidence through the training? Often, this is measured by performing knowledge tests before and after the training and comparing the results.
