Abstract

In the present study, an attempt was made to evaluate the effectiveness of model sites in Dehloran city using the Kirk Patrick model. For this purpose, two groups of individuals were selected as the study population. first group; Rapeseed farmers of Abbas plain, Mosian and Markazi of Dehloran city (N = 175) and the second group; Managers and experts were involved in the implementation of the canola model site. According to the findings, at the confidence level (99.), it can be claimed that according to the views of rapeseed site users, in both components, satisfaction with the site's training and satisfaction with the attitude of the trainers have had a favorable and satisfactory response. . Also, the results of analysis of variance showed that the difference in knowledge scores of rapeseed site users in the two stages before and after training is statistically significant (p> .01) and the level of awareness of site users in the post-training stage. It was more than before training. In addition, the results showed that the value of the third level (behavior) and the fourth level (results) is higher than the value of test 3 and at the confidence level (.95) it can be claimed that from the perspective of managers behavior and predetermined results This course has been completed. According to the results of the present study, planners and policy makers are suggested to develop and promote these sites and provide more support to them.
