Kirkpatrick의 4단계 평가 모델을 활용한 이종욱-서울 프로젝트 1차년도 성과 평가

Abstract

Purpose: The Lee Jong-Wook Seoul Project, which began in 2011, is a training program that aims to educate faculty membersof Lao University of Health Sciences in medical knowledge and skills. The project has tremendous significance, attempting to applythe Korean health care developmental model to developing countries. Precise evaluation of the project outcome must be performedto enhance the effectiveness, improve the shortcomings, and adjust the future direction of the program. Methods: Trainers and exchange professors were asked to fill out questionnaires in the middle and at the end of the program. Eight months after its completion, an evaluation team visited Lao and interviewed each exchange professor individually. Also,360-degree feedback was obtained from their colleagues. We analyzed the answers to the questionnaires, based on Kirkpatrick’s4-level model. Results: The trainers and exchange professors had positive reactions to the program. All participants felt that their knowledge andskills improved (in their respective fields), although the actual improvement was not extensive, according to their trainers' assessments. The 360-degree feedback demonstrated that the participants actively passed on their experience, knowledge, and skills to their colleagueson returning to work. Conclusion: Although a 4-level evaluation was not conducted and despite the limitations in examining academic achievement,interviewing Lao professors, and acquiring quantitative data at Lao University of Health Sciences, this project has demonstratedits value in the development of individual professors and their colleagues.
