SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING

/in ,

THIS IS A TEAM ASSIGNMENT, AS A LEAD I AM TO WRITE THE THESIS, INTRODUCTION, CONCLUSION, ALSO COMPLETE LEVEL 1 OF THE KIRKPATRICK MODEL TRAINING. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I MUST CREATE A LEVEL ONE EVALUATION FORM.

OUR TEAM TOPIC IS SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING

Training evaluations are important to determine if the selected training solution was effective and provided the appropriate return on investment.

Discuss as a team the last training program you attended (at work, school, other).

Select one of your team members’ experiences and design a training evaluation form.

Write a 525- to 700-word description of the training program selected by the team.

Provide an explanation of how you would evaluate the training program. The Kirkpatrick Model for the Effectiveness of Training is to be used for the evaluation. There are details on the model below and on the discussion thread,

Steps of Kirkpatrick Model

There are four levels to Kirkpatrick’s Model that look at training effectiveness in different time frames and areas.

Level one – (this is the level you should focus on the most in the week three assignment). This level is done immediately after the conclusion of training and measures the immediate reaction of participants at the conclusion of the training. This is most often done with a survey or interview and should cover the if the learning objectives were met, the learning environment, the instructors performance, the delivery methods used and the content of the course. The survey or interview will give the designer or instructor an opportunity to make quick course adjustments.

Level two – is used to determine if learning occurred during the course. In other words do the participants know or can do more after the course than they could do before? This can be done with a pre and post assessment which should be the same instrument. The pre assessment measures what KSA’s the participants came into the course already having developed. The post assessment measure what they know after the course is completed. The goal is to compare the pre to the post assessment and see progress has been made in the participants KSA’s.

Level three – this step measures if learning is transferred from the training environment and applied in the work place. Training is only effective if it is applied. This is done around two months after the training is completed by observation, a survey or interview. Data can also help in this step.

Level four – The Return on the Investment. This step is done by converting the costs of doing training and the savings or benefits realized from the training. The costs of doing training are compared to the outcomes to determine if the ROI is positive or negative.
