APPLICATION OF KIRKPATRICK MODEL USING T –TEST: CASE STUDY OF A WORKSHOP TRAINING PROGRAM

We are at the beginning phase of 4th Industrial Revolution. The importance of artificial intelligence is increasing in the decision making but the role of human capital cannot be ignored. Human capital formation can be done by training program at educational institutions. The success of organization depends upon quality manpower and the success of training program depends upon the evaluation of training program results. In contemporary times the biggest challenge is to identify which outcomes, benefits, or final results are most closely linked to the training, and to come up with an effective way to measure these outcomes in the long term. The current paper has applied “Kirkpatrick Model” to measure the effectiveness of workshop training program at BCA Lab of R.D. & D.J. College, Munger. A sample of 10 participants was analyzed out of 75 participants at the end of the workshop session to measure the effectiveness of training program. Therefore, paired t-Test was applied as a statistical tool to analyze the pre and post data. If t- Stat (calculated) value is more than Critical one - tail (Tabular) value then training program is considered as effective. The main finding of the paper is that workshop training program conducted was effective. This training program can be used as benchmarking for other educational institutions not only in Bihar but it can be also applicable for other states of India.
