Program Summary

Do you know how much participants truly learn from your learning programs?  If not, you are not alone.  According to a recent ATD research study, 81% of organizations evaluate at least some learning programs at Level 2 of the Kirkpatrick/Phillips 5-level evaluation model, yet only 55% of these organizations view the data they collect as having either high or very high value.  Some reasons for this disconnect include: the knowledge test used to capture Level 2 data is viewed as too easy or too difficult, the knowledge test is administered too close to the learning program and the test questions forcus on mere recall of facts and not job application.  Yet, if constructed properly and worded correctly, Level 2 knowledge tests can prove whether learning was accomplished. 

In this 75 minute session, you will analyze the common mistakes made by many L&D professionals when creating Level 2 knowledge tests and learn tips and practical solutions for overcoming these mistakes.  


Learning Objectives:

  • Examine Level 2 evaluation facts from a recent ATD research study and their implications for conducting Level 2 evaluations.
  • Analyze the common mistakes made by many L&D professionals when developing Level 2 knowledge tests.
  • Discover 15 tips and practical techniques that eliminate these mistakes and result in the development of valid, scientifically sound Level 2 knowledge tests
