Evaluating trainees' performance with a 360° feedback system aligns best with which level of the Kirkpatrick Model of Training Evaluation?
Correct Answer: C
HRPA's Learning and Development materials align with the Kirkpatrick model: Reaction, Learning, Behaviour, Results. 360° feedback gathers observations from supervisors, peers, direct reports, and sometimes customers about how participants apply new skills and behaviours on the job, which is Kirkpatrick Level 3 - Behaviour (transfer of learning). Level 2 (Learning) uses tests or demonstrations; Level 1 (Reaction) captures satisfaction; Level 4 (Results) measures organizational outcomes.
Relevant HRPA references: Learning and Development-training evaluation levels and methods; use of multi-rater feedback to assess behavioural transfer.
