aboutlearners’ performance.
• Compares a learner’s performance
▫ with other learners
▫ with a set of standards
to determine a grade or a decision regarding
overall success.

Assessment/Evaluation Methods
8. Obtaining feedback from learners is also
important.
Areas to be evaluated could include:
1. Practicality of Content
2. Instructor’s Presentation Style
3. Level of Participant Interaction and
Activity
4. Training Materials and Resources
5. Training Environment
6. Meeting the Expectations of Participants

LEARNING
REACTION
LEVEL 4:To what degree the targeted
outcome occurs, as a result of the learning
event(s) and subsequent reinforcement.
LEVEL 3:To what degree participants apply
what they learned during the training when
they are back on the job.
LEVEL 2:To what degree participants
acquire the indented knowledge, skills
and attitudes based on their participation
in the learning event.
LEVEL 1: To what degree
participants react favorably to
the learning event.
13. • Is the assessment for formative or
summative purposes?
• What knowledge and/or skills do you want to
emphasize?
• What are the evaluation objectives?
• What are the instructional objectives and
the method of delivery?

Tips and Issues to consider when Developing
Assessment or Evaluation
14. • How large is the class and what is the best
way to assess all learners effectively?
• Is the assessment reusable?
• Can you provide meaningful feedback?
• Can you administer tests frequently in order
to keep learners on task?

Tips and Issues to consider when Developing
Assessment or Evaluation
15. • Use Rubrics
▫ to assist learners in successfully completing
the assessment tasks
▫ to assist the instructor to successfully assess
learning

Assessment gathers information (through the collection and analysis of data) in order to make decisions about improvements in teaching and learning.Image Source: http://carmodyconsulting.net/db4/00314/carmodyconsulting.net/_uimages/survey.jpg
Evaluation gathers information (through the collection and analysis of data) in order to make judgments about students’ performance. It compares a learner’s performance with other learners or with a set of standards in order to determine a grade or a decision regarding overall success with respect to an assignment or a course.
Formative Assessment or Evaluation: Ongoing, with the purpose of improving instruction and learning. Asking students to submit an outline for a term paper is an example of a formative assessment.Image Source: http://www.taft.cc.ca.us/newtc/Academic/INCO48/images/outline2.gif
Summative Assessment or Evaluation: Final, with the purpose of measuring quality of learning. Assigning a final grade to a term paper is an example of summative assessment.Image Source: http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sites3/documents/582/grade A.jpg
Assessing Teaching is also an important component, as it helps to obtain feedback from learners. Areas to be evaluated could include: 1. Practicality of Content 2. Instructor’s Presentation Style 3. Level of Participant Interaction and Activity 4. Training Materials and Resources 5. Training Environment 6. Meeting the Expectations of Participants
Let’s take a look at a popular and most used model for evaluating training: Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation. These are Results, Behavior, Learning and Reaction.Source: http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/articles/k4levels/index.htm
The four levels of Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model essentially measure:Level 1: Reaction: what the participant thought and felt about the trainingLevel 2: Learning: the resulting increase in knowledge or capabilityLevel 3: Behavior: the extent of behavior and capability in improvement and implementation/applicationLevel 4: Results: the effects on the business or environment resulting from the participant's performanceSource: http://kirkpatrickpartners.com/AboutUs/OurPhilosophy/tabid/63/Default.aspx
This diagram shows how Kirkpatrick’s 4 levels relate to the learning process. ImageSource: http://kirkpatrickpartners.com/AboutUs/OurPhilosophy/tabid/63/Default.aspx
