PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Have you ever wondered if conducting Level 1 evaluations are worth the effort? Or if you should stop using them altogether? If you've had these thoughts, you're not alone. According to a 2019 Association for Talent Development (ATD) research study, 83% of organizations evaluate some learning programs at Level 1. Yet, only 35% view the data they collect as having either high or very high value.
So, is there something you can do to start getting more valuable results from your Level 1 evaluations? The answer is a resounding "Yes!" Start by including predictive questions in your Level 1s. Predictive questions forecast the results a learning program is likely to achieve. They also begin to answer the question business executives and L&D professionals both want to be answered: "Is the program delivering value?" These predictions aren't proof that specific program outcomes are inevitable, but rather a forecast that certain results are likely.
In this highly informative, thought-provoking session, participants will learn how to create three predictive measures: a Level 2 learning gain score predictive metric, a Level 3 training transfer predictive metric, and a Level 4 business results predictive metric.
After attending this session, participants will be able to:
- Use facts from a recent research study to benchmark your use of Level 1 evaluations.
- Create predictive questions to include in a Level 1 evaluation that enable you to forecast participant learning (Level 2), training transfer (Level 3), and improved business results (Level 4).
- Calculate three predictive metrics: a learning gain score, a training transfer likelihood score, and an improved business results likelihood score.
