**Definition:**
In 1975, Donald Kirkpatrick first presented a four-level model of evaluation that has become a classic in the industry: These levels can be applied to technology-based training as well as to more traditional forms of delivery. Modified labels and descriptions of these steps of summative evaluation follow.

In Kirkpatrick's four-level model, each successive evaluation level is built on information provided by the lower level.

The four levels of Kirkpatrick's evaluation model essentially measure:
 * **reaction of student - what they thought and felt about the training**
 * **learning - the resulting increase in knowledge or capability**
 * **behaviour - extent of behaviour and capability improvement and implementation/application**
 * **results - the effects on the business or environment resulting from the trainee's performanc**
