Adaptation of Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Model of Training Criteria to Evaluate Training Programmes for Head Teachers

Abstract

Training programmes are evaluated to verify their effectiveness, assess their ability to achieve their goals and identify the areas that require improvement. Therefore, the target of evaluators is to develop an appropriate framework for evaluating training programmes. This study adapted Kirkpatrick’s four-level model of training criteria published in 1959 to evaluate training programmes for head teachers according to their own perceptions and those of their supervisors. The adapted model may help evaluators to conceptualise the assessment of learning outcomes of training programmes with metrics and instruments. The model also helps to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the training process. The adaptation includes concrete metrics and instruments for each of the four levels in the model: reaction criteria, learning criteria, behaviour criteria and results criteria. The adapted model was applied to evaluate 12 training programmes for female head teachers in Saudi Arabia. The study sample comprised 250 trainee head teachers and 12 supervisors. The results indicated that the adapted Kirkpatrick evaluation model was very effective in evaluating educational training for head teachers.

Prevalencia del síndrome de burnout en la dirección de instituciones educativas públicas en Barrios Altos, Lima - Perú

“…En cuanto a las instituciones educativas, la dirección escolar es considerada como un factor de primer orden para la calidad formativa, por estar involucrada en todos los procesos que se realizan en la escuela (Alsalamah y Callinan, 2021). Existe un claro consenso en asociar el liderazgo pedagógico que tenga el ente director con la calidad de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje del alumnado (Fullan, 2014), con la planeación estratégica y establecimiento de objetivos (Veenman, 1997), con la motivación del personal y el desarrollo del potencial del profesorado (Bolívar, 2015;Martínez-Garrido, 2017), con la creación de un clima escolar positivo y de satisfacción laboral (Ramery-Gelpi y Pérez Navío, 2016;Tejero González et al, 2010), con la evaluación de procesos y el acompañamiento (Bolívar, 2015).…”

“…Constatar la relevancia que se le otorga a la dirección de instituciones educativas supone identificar la diversidad de funciones, responsabilidades y tareas que recaen sobre la figura del director o directora, en contextos organizacionales y sociales cada vez más complejos (Alsalamah y Callinan, 2021). Estas funciones, a juicio de Barroso (2005), tienen un carácter híbrido, ambiguo y complejo.…”

“…La dirección escolar es una de las labores profesionales con mayor riesgo de sufrir las consecuencias del estrés laboral, debido a la reconfiguración de las funciones, responsabilidades y tareas asignadas a quien ejerza la dirección de la institución educativa (Ramery-Gelpi y Pérez Navío, 2016). A dicha función se suman las crecientes demandas sociales acerca de la responsabilidad que se le atribuye al personal directivo sobre el éxito o fracaso de todos los procesos que se generan en el centro educativo (Alsalamah y Callinan, 2021), y a la complejización de los contextos sociales y comunitarios en los cuales se ejerce la función directiva.…”
