Chapter Summaries
1. INTRODUCTION: This introductory chapter sets the stage by defining training evaluation and its significance. It introduces Donald Kirkpatrick and his seminal contribution – the four-level training evaluation model. The chapter establishes the context for the paper, highlighting the model's historical background and its wide application across various sectors, including business, government, military, and industrial training. The objectives of the review are clearly stated, focusing on a comprehensive examination of Kirkpatrick's model, its purpose, and its limitations.
2. METHODOLOGY: This chapter outlines the research methodology employed in the paper. It explicitly states that the paper is based solely on a review of secondary data, including journals, books, and websites. This transparently establishes the research approach and its limitations, emphasizing the reliance on existing literature for the analysis and discussion of Kirkpatrick's model.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW: This chapter delves into the core subject matter, providing a comprehensive review of the literature on Kirkpatrick's four-level model. It begins by exploring the purpose and need for training evaluation in general, outlining its importance for organizations in achieving training objectives, justifying costs, and improving future program design. The main focus then shifts to Kirkpatrick's model itself, breaking down its four levels (reaction, learning, behavior, and results) and their respective implications. The chapter likely examines each level in detail, analyzing how each contributes to the overall effectiveness of a training program. While the provided text only includes a small glimpse of Level 1 (Reaction), a complete chapter would comprehensively cover all four levels. The chapter likely analyzes how the model's different levels contribute to a comprehensive understanding of training effectiveness.
