PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

A practitioner who has achieved this unit standard will be competent to develop, evaluate and record a plan for a learning event in relation to previous learning events.

This competence complements other ETD competences and lays the basis for further development of design/planning skills.

It contributes toward the development of a professional community of ETD practitioners who rigorously plan and evaluate their education and training practices to ensure that they meet the needs of learners, society and the economy.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Practitioners applying to enter a learning programme for this ETD standard - or applying to be assessed against this ETD standard - are assumed to have a qualification or equivalent competence in an occupation in which they will practice this ETD competence.

This standard describes the ETD competence, which will be needed for them to plan learning events within their occupational competence.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

The following statements provide a general guide to the scope and complexity of the competence expected of a practitioner:
1. Practitioners are required to demonstrate that they can perform the specific outcomes with understanding and reflexivity. However, at this level they will be consciously following a set of "rules" or principles, which inform what they do, rather than performing "internalised rules".
2. The practitioner is required to demonstrate the competence described in this standard in the context of skills development courses.
3. The specific outcomes should be performed in line with an established methodology for planning learning events. At this level the practitioner should be able to describe one alternative methodology; to explain how their performance would differ if they used them and to justify their choice of methodology.
4. At this level, practitioners are not expected to draw on or integrate insights from beyond their occupational and ETD competences.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Decide on the content of the learning event.

OUTCOME NOTES

Decide on the content of the learning event by, e. g.,

analysing the sector, enterprise or workplace skills plan;

identifying learner needs; and

identifying available resources.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

ASSESSMENT CRITERION NOTES

The assessment of practitioners against this standard should meet the requirements of established assessment principles.

It will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools, which are appropriate to the contexts in which practitioners are working. These activities and tools may include an appropriate combination of self-assessment and peer assessment; formative and summative assessment; portfolios and observations; etc.

The assessment should ensure that all the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes, and essential embedded knowledge's are assessed.
1. The specific outcomes must be assessed through observation of performance. Supporting evidence should be used to prove competence of specific outcomes only when they are not clearly seen in the actual performance.
2. Essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in its own right, through oral and written evidence. It cannot be assessed only through seeing the knowledge being applied.
3. The specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in relation to each other. If a practitioner is able to explain the essential embedded knowledge but is unable to perform the specific outcomes, they should not be assessed as competent. Similarly, if a practitioner is able to perform the specific outcomes but is unable to explain or justify their performance in terms of the essential embedded knowledge, they should also not be assessed as competent.
4. Evidence of the specified critical cross-field outcomes should be found both in performance and in the essential embedded knowledge.
5. Performance of the specific outcomes must actively affirm target groups of learners and not unfairly discriminate against any learners. Practitioners should also be able to justify their performance in terms of these values.
6. As occupation-directed ETD practice is intended to contribute to the goals outlined in the skills plans of the workplace, enterprise or sector, practitioners should explain how their performance does this.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Formulate the outcomes to be achieved in the learning event.

OUTCOME NOTES

Formulate the outcomes to be achieved in the learning event e. g.

in relation to the Skills Plan;

in relation to national outcomes; and

in accordance with learner needs.

UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS

1. Anyone assessing a learner against this unit standard must be registered as an assessor with the relevant ETQA.
2. Any institution offering learning that will enable achievement of this unit standard or will assess this unit standard must be accredited as a provider with the relevant ETQA.
3. Moderation of assessment will be overseen by the relevant ETQA according to the moderation guidelines in the relevant qualification and the agreed ETQA procedures.

Therefore anyone wishing to be assessed against this unit standard may apply to be assessed by any assessment agency, assessor or provider institution, which is accredited by the relevant ETQA.

UNIT STANDARD ESSENTIAL EMBEDDED KNOWLEDGE

Practitioners should be able to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of:
1. How to conduct a needs analysis with learners.
- Through analysing learners` work
- Through interviewing learners as individuals or groups
2. How to identify and select available resources that fit the purpose of the learning event.
3. Relevant national standards and how to analyse these
4. Ways of formulating learning outcomes for courses and individual learning events.
5. A methodology for educating, training or developing learners.
6. Principles, procedures and formats for developing learning event
7. Available learner support materials (print, audio-visual, equipment, machinery, electronic must include workplace context.)
