ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
1. Problems are solved by means of exploring and critically evaluating abstract and personal situations.
2. Problems are solved by generating alternative strategies for dealing with those problems. 3. Collaborative work as part of a team, group, organisation or community is effective. 4. Organisation and management of self and activities is responsible and effective. 5. Information is collected, analysed, organised and critically evaluated. 6. Recognition of the problem solving context as part of a larger context is demonstrated. 7. Understanding of the world as a set of related systems is demonstrated. 8.

This is done using activities and self-evaluation exercises. Continuous assessment is also carried out by the facilitators in the form of assignments that the learner must submit upon completion of each module of the learning programme. Formative and summative assessment are integrated in a final portfolio assessment. The learner builds up a portfolio of activities, self-evaluation exercises, assignments and projects which are assessed in order to determine whether the learner has achieved the exit level outcomes of the qualification. |
