Create Level 2 Quizzes & Tests That Actually Measure Something

As you may know, The Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model was created by Donald Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., to define the four levels of training evaluation. The four levels of evaluation are: (1) the reaction of the student and their thoughts about the training experience; (2) the student’s resulting learning and increase in knowledge from the training experience; (3) the student’s behavioral change and improvement after applying the skills on the job; and (4) the results or effects that the student’s performance has on the business. Level 5 has been added to measure Return on Investment (ROI).

According to a recent ATD research study, 80% of organizations evaluate some learning programs at Level 2 of the five-level evaluation model. However, only 63% of these organizations view the data they collect to have a high or very high value. While these numbers indicate a significant disconnect, there is a solution. If appropriately constructed and worded correctly, Level 2 evaluation quizzes and tests can prove whether learning occurred. They also can provide important insight into which program topics participants mastered and which ones they did not. But these insights are only as useful as the quality of the quiz and test items.

In this informative, highly engaging webinar, you will learn practical tips and guidelines on how to write Level 2 test questions that produce valued data. Particular emphasis will also focus on writing test questions that measure job application and not the mere recall of facts.


Program Objectives:

  • After participating in this webinar, participants will be able to compare their own organization’s use of Level 2 evaluations with results from a recent ATD research study
  • After participating in this webinar, participants will be able to apply fifteen tips for creating valid, scientifically sound multiple-choice test questions.
  •  After participating in this webinar, participants will be able to recognize the difference between test questions that measure job application versus those that measure recall.
