ATE Evaluation: Measuring Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results

In this webinar, participants will learn about evaluating ATE initiatives in practical, yet meaningful ways. The Kirkpatrick “Levels” model for evaluation is a systematic approach for assessing a project’s quality and effectiveness in terms of participants’ satisfaction, learning of the material, application of new skills or content, and resulting impacts. Participants will learn about what questions should drive data collection at each level, steps to take to obtain data of sufficient quantity and quality, and how to interpret and use the evaluation results. Proven strategies for tracking students’ employment outcomes will be shared by Kevin Cooper, PI for the Regional Center for Nuclear Energy Education and Training at Indian River State College.
