Mechanisms

• Follow-Up Visit or Survey Protocol
  • It captures Kirkpatrick's Level 3, on-the-job behavior

    This sourceDefines Level 3 as post-training change in job behavior—the transfer of learning back to work.

• Training and Enablement Rollout
  • It is also easy to mistake activity for capability: attendance and satisfaction scores measure reaction, not whether behavior changed on the job or outcomes improved

    This sourceDefines behavior change and improved results as distinct levels of training evaluation.

• Training Feedback Loop
  • Its recurrence monitoring is a practical instance of measuring training at the behavior level

    This sourceDefines behavior-level training evaluation as whether participants apply learned knowledge and skills on the job, distinct from reaction and learning measures.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 3 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
