Evaluating learning outcomes

Establishes what a learning activity produced, compares the outcome with the stated objective and draws a conclusion about next steps from that.

The candidate performs a representative work sample under standardised conditions.

Behavioural anchors

LevelBehaviour at this level
N1 Guided Fills in the evaluation after a training and names what was and was not learned.
works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient Measures with tests, observation and work results whether objectives were met and adjusts the follow up programme to those outcomes.
sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading Determines how the organisation measures learning results, chooses indicators up to effect on performance and accounts for that to the board.
sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.

Underlying skills

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.

V Evaluating learning with Kirkpatrick
Kirkpatrick evaluation
Assesses a learning activity on reaction, learning, behaviour at work and effect on results. rising
V Running pre and post measurement
Pre post measurement
Measures knowledge or skill before and after a learning activity and compares both outcomes. rising
V Designing an evaluation form
Evaluation form design
Formulates questions that say something about learning result and application, not only satisfaction. stable
V Interpreting assessment results
Assessment interpretation
Reads scores per component and determines where the material or the instruction fell short. rising
V Measuring behaviour change after training
Behaviour change measurement
Tests with observation, feedback or files whether participants really use the learned behaviour at work. rising
V Substantiating the return on training
Training ROI
Sets training cost against returns such as fewer errors, shorter lead time or lower turnover. rising
V Turning evaluation into adjustment
Iterating on evaluation
Adjusts content, method or guidance of the next programme on the basis of the evaluation. rising
V Surveying participant satisfaction
Participant satisfaction
Asks participants shortly after a training about usefulness, pace, trainer and methods. declining
