Discussion 1 Instructions: This week’s lecture describes the advantages and disadvantages of using Kirkpatrick’s taxonomy. As an HR employee tasked with creating and evaluating a training course for your organization, how would you use Kirkpatrick’s taxonomy to evaluate the training? What could you do to minimize the disadvantages of the tool? Response Instructions: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. Utilize the textbook to support claims. Student 1: Kirkpatrick’s Taxonomy had four levels of evaluations. What I favor about Kirkpatrick’s taxonomy is that it was developed with short-term and long-term performance outcomes. Many times a company will try to evaluate things with either one or the other performance outcomes but not both at the same time. I believe that is a huge issue today. Although his taxonomy was well thought out there are, of course, advantages and disadvantages when it comes to this fourlevel evaluation framework. As an HR employee tasked with creating and evaluating a training course for my organization, I can use Kirkpatrick’s taxonomy to evaluate the training in a number of ways. The first way I could utilize this is by referring to the second level of his evaluation method. As with level 1, evaluations for level 2 are done immediately after the training event to determine if participants gained the knowledge, skills, or attitudes expected (Morrison et al., 2012; Noe, 2012; Piskurich, 2010). This poses the question of, “Did They Learn It?” That is an important question that I don’t see asked enough. Throughout all of the times I’ve been trained in a particular subject or situation, I can honestly say nothing has been learned. That type of feedback would give value to the instructor so that they can re-evaluate their training and get it to the level in which it will be easier to ingest for the trainees and retain/learn whatever is being taught. All four levels are useful but of course they come with disadvantages.
