TICA System Framework (Version 2.2): A Pilot Applied Framework for Evaluating Training Transfer and Organizational Impact

This technical white paper presents the TICA System Framework (Version 2.2), a Pilot Applied Framework designed to bridge the Post-Training Application Gap in Learning and Development (L&D). Traditional evaluation models such as Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Model and Phillips’ ROI Methodology often rely heavily on subjective satisfaction metrics. In contrast, the TICA System integrates three quantitative pillars: longitudinal Commitment Rate, cognitive knowledge acquisition, and the Post-Training Application Index (PTAI). It further introduces two key indicators — Return on Learning (ROL) and Training Impact Factor (TIF) — supported by Pearson correlation analysis. The framework is demonstrated through a real corporate pilot study (English Communication course, N = 19). After rigorous data cleaning, results showed high satisfaction (M = 0.953), moderate commitment (M = 0.790), notable variance in knowledge scores, and weak correlations. These findings highlight the diagnostic value of transparent statistical reporting in revealing the Silent Application Gap. This Version 2.2 is released as an open Pilot Applied Framework to support evidence-based L&D evaluation, future replication, and professional discussion.
