Are you one of the many L&D professionals who would like to conduct Level 3 evaluations, but don’t? You’re not alone.

According to a recent ATD research study, only 54% of organizations evaluate some learning programs at Level 3 of the five-level evaluation model. To establish real credibility and prove value, you need to measure whether or not participants applied what they learned in a training program back on the job (Level 3 evaluation). Unfortunately, measuring on-the-job behavior change is not something many L&D professionals know much about nor often do. Also, some L&D professionals who are conducting Level 3s have fallen behind recent advances made in evaluation and survey design methodology. Consequently, they likely are collecting data that is either misleading or invalid. 

In this informative, highly engaging session you will learn practical tips and guidelines on how to create Level 3 participant surveys that measure job behavior change. Particular emphasis is given to three crucial areas of survey design: the content of the survey items, formatting of the survey, and the measurement scale used. 

After attending this session, you will be able to:

• Use facts from a recent Association for Talent Development (ATD) research study to benchmark an organization’s use of Level 3 evaluations
• Avoid the common mistakes made by many L&D professionals when creating Level 3 evaluation surveys that result in the collection of misleading or invalid data
• Use twelve tips and best practices for creating valid, scientifically sound Level 3 evaluations
