PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
Purpose:
This qualification is for those who want to act as Occupationally Directed Education, Training and Development (ODETD) practitioners at a high level across all the key Education, Training and Development (ETD) roles, with specialist competencies in at least four of the following roles: Depending on areas of specialisation selected, recipients of this Qualification will be able to: Rationale: Education, Training and Development (ETD) is a priority area within the South African context and is supported by legislation, national policies and strategies. In order to meet the ETD requirements of the workplace, within the context of a quality assured environment and processes, it is important to identify and recognise competent ETD practitioners at various levels, and in particular to have access to the services of those with high level specialist skills within the key ETD roles. This qualification will provide a means to give recognition to experienced ODETD practitioners, thus making it possible for practitioners to increase their employment prospects, and at the same time provide a means whereby organisations can appoint experienced practitioners in line with proven competencies. This qualification incorporates and builds on the National Diploma: ODETD Diploma (level 5) which focussed on four ETD roles, to allow for further specialisation at a higher level in at least four of the following roles: |
LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING |
It is assumed that practitioners have expertise in the subject/occupation field in which they intend to provide education, training and development, at a level required to engage meaningfully in ETD within that field.
It is also assumed that learners towards this qualification hold a FETC or equivalent. Further learning assumptions are specified within the associated unit standards where required. Recognition of prior learning: This qualification can be achieved wholly or in part through recognition of prior learning in terms of the defined exit level outcomes and/or individual unit standards. Evidence can be presented in various ways, including international and/or previous local qualifications, products, reports, testimonials mentioning functions performed, work records, portfolios, videos of practice and performance records. All such evidence will be judged in accordance with the general principles of assessment and the requirements for integrated assessment. Access to the qualification: |

EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES |
1. Design and develop learning programmes and processes.
2. Facilitate learning. 3. Engage in and promote assessment practices. 4. Provide learning support to learners and organisations. 5. Conduct skills development facilitation. 6. Carry out Education, Training and Development (ETD) and general management. 7. Define and evaluate standards. 8. Develop and implement quality assurance instruments and systems. Critical Cross-Field Outcomes: This qualification addresses the following critical cross-field outcomes: Learning programmes directed towards this qualification will also contribute to the full personal development of each learner and the social and economic development of the society at large, by making individuals aware of the importance of: |
ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
The purpose of the qualification is achieved via demonstration of competence in terms of the exit level outcomes, which in turn are a function of the associated unit standards. The unit standards associated with each exit level outcome form a coherent cluster, thus facilitating integrated assessment. The manner in which the unit standards have been clustered is outlined in the section on integrated assessment. Assessment criteria are provided for each exit level outcome mainly to address the need for evidence of integration of competencies.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Integrated assessment: Evidence of integration will be gained by designing and conducting assessments that ensure the unit standards are assessed in clusters linked to each exit level outcome as identified below. Assessors are to be guided by the detailed specifications indicated in each of the identified unit standards, and further guided by the assessment criteria specified for each exit level outcome, all within the context of an active ETD environment, dealing with divergent and random demands related to ETD. Assessors should note that evidence of integration may be presented by learners when being assessed against the unit standards - thus there should not necessarily be separate assessments for each unit standard and then further assessment for integration at exit level outcome level. Well designed assessments, including formative and summative, should make it possible to gain evidence against the requirements of each unit standard while at the same time gaining evidence of integration at exit level outcome level. For the purposes of integration, assessment should be guided by the following relationships between each exit level outcome and the associated unit standards: Exit Level Outcome 1: Design and develop learning programmes and processes. Core Unit Standards: Elective Unit Standards: Exit Level Outcome 2: Facilitate learning. Core Unit Standards: Elective Unit Standards: Exit Level Outcome 3: Engage in and promote assessment practices.

INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
International qualifications were examined to ensure that the qualification structure and unit standards in the Bachelor: Occupationally Directed Education, Training and Development (ODETD), Level 6, are comparable in terms of level, scope and competencies covered. Qualifications and/or programmes from Singapore, the United Kingdom, United States of America, Australia and New Zealand were compared based on proven best practice within the field of Education and Training. The findings regarding comparisons are as follows:
Singapore: The Bachelor: ODETD, Level 6, was compared to the Singapore Training and Development Association Bachelor in Human Resource Training and Development. The qualifications compare well, in particular in relation to the principles, concepts, problem-solving techniques, design, delivery and management of instructional programs in the education and training sector. USA: The Bachelor: ODETD, Level 6, was compared to the Idaho State University Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resource Training and Development. The comparison revealed a close correlation particularly in terms of the requirement to analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate training in business and industry. United Kingdom: A close correlation was found between the Bachelor: ODETD, Level 6, and the University of Greenwich BA in Education and Training and the University of Wales BEd in Vocational Training. Australia: A search for comparable Australian qualifications suggested that there are no correlations at degree level. However aspects of the degree compare favourably with the AQF Diploma of Training and Assessment Systems. New Zealand: A search for comparable NZ qualifications suggested that there are no correlations at degree level. However aspects of the degree compare favourably with the Christchurch College of Education Diploma in Adult Teaching and Learning and the NZQA National Certificate in Adult Education and Training (Level 5). Summary of findings: International qualifications in workplace-related ETD tend to focus at undergraduate certificate or diploma level and post graduate certificate and diploma level, with relatively few qualifications at First Degree level. However, there is a close match in terms of significant portions of international diplomas and the Bachelor: ODETD, Level 6. In general, degrees in ETD have a significant emphasis on subject matter, thus reducing the ETD portion to the equivalent of a Certificate or Diploma. |
