A kirkpatrick model-based learning evaluation system for blended teaching in military academies—Taking blended English course as an example

Abstract

At present, blended teaching has become an important direction of teaching reform in military academies. Due to the special attributes of military academies as well as its late start of blended teaching, there is currently limited research on blended learning evaluation and a lack of a unified evaluation system. In the light of Kirkpatrick Model, one of the most authoritative evaluation models for training, this paper first reflects on the flaws of current blended learning evaluation in military academies. Then based on the blended English course practice, explores to construct an evaluation system in the four levels of Kirkpatrick Model:level of reaction, level of learning, level of behavior and level of result. In the end, Delphi Method is used for index weight distribution for the whole system. The system could serve as a template and reference for establishing a practicable evaluation system, enhancing blended teaching reform in military academies.
