PARRA ROBLEDO, Richar  and  RUIZ BUENO, Carmen. Assessing the Impact of Training Programs: Fundamental Aspects, Models and Current Perspectives. Educación [online]. 2020, vol.44, n.2, pp.541-554. ISSN 2215-2644.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v44i2.40281.

This bibliographic review evaluates the impact of training programs and is divided into four sections: Fundamental Aspects, Evaluation Models, Positioning and Current Perspectives. This article uses a pedagogical focus to measure training actions for decision-making purposes. The results of this bibliographic review include the classification of 14 training program assessment models based on the direction of the results, actual processes and integrated models. A structural model was elaborated in the third section to establish a research position based on Kirkpatrick (1999), Phillips (1990) and Pineda (2000). The current facets of relevant topics were then explored while acknowledging the intrinsic strength of assessments with regards to issues of transparency, citizen engagement and accountability of the civil sector.

Keywords : Evaluation; Impact; Training Programs; Models.
