Transferring Learning to Behaviour

I just posted these article links related to Learning Evaluation on the Free-to-Air corner of our intranet, but thought it's worth re-posting here :)

Article 1 - Don Kirkpatrick: The Father of the Four Levels

Article 2 - The Kirkpatrick Model: Past, Present and Future

I particularly liked this paragraph from Article 1.

“It used to be that trainers would feel, ‘If we get a good reaction and teach people the skills and knowledge they need, that’s all we can do. We have no control over them when they go back to their job,’” Kirkpatrick said. “My philosophy is, yes, you have no control over them, but you must have influence on them, because unless that training gets used on the job, it’s really worthless.”
