(6) Assessment Tasks In order to achieve competence and have this recognised by an award or qualification you will need to be assessed by our RTO against the relevant UOC for the course. The Course certificate is based on successful demonstration of competence for ALL Units of Competency in the course – this includes each element within each UOC. For each UOC, students will have at least two opportunities to demonstrate their competence. What is required for Assessment? Assessment is a process that will require you to provide evidence that you have achieved the skills, knowledge and attitudes required in the units of competency. The evidence that you may provide can take many forms, and should include at least two of the following: Direct evidence Direct evidence is obtained when the Teacher observes the student actually performing in the workplace or simulated workplace at school. This includes: * Demonstrating a workplace procedure – checklists provided in this booklet. * Producing a product * Completing a work project Indirect evidence Indirect evidence is used when it is not possible or desirable to conduct the assessment in the workplace. This includes: * Undertaking a research project * Doing role plays Supplementary evidence Supplementary evidence is used to verify or support evidence already gathered. This includes: * Written or oral questioning * Third party reports from peers and/or supervisors * In most cases a combination of the above will be used to ensure competence. Tips for collecting evidence to add to your portfolio Evidence is the term used to describe the information that your Teacher uses to ensure that you have gained the skills and knowledge in each topic. Evidence can be gathered in a variety of ways: Physical evidence - Evidence you have gathered and produced on the job and any training sessions by your facilitator. Copies of documents you have produced. Observation - Your Teacher watches you at work carrying out your daily tasks. Demonstration - Your Teacher may ask you to demonstrate a specific task. Questions and Discussions - Your Teacher will ask you questions about your assigned tasks and may ask about your performance and ability from a person who works closely with you. Journal – A written record of tasks you have undertaken and your reflections upon your learning process. All these forms of evidence are considered valid when verified by your Teacher. Next Page |
