Use introductory vectors for work

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge to apply basic vectors to work-related problems.

This unit applies to individuals who need numeracy skills at Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) level 5 to undertake a vocational training pathway or workplace tasks.

This unit is designed for integration and contextualisation with vocational units to support achievement of vocational competency.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Element

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Demonstrate basic knowledge of vectors and their use

1.1 Demonstrate basic knowledge of vectors

1.2 Identify the use of vectors in the workplace

2. Apply the techniques of vectors to the solution of problems in two dimensions

2.1 Express two dimensional vectors in different forms

2.2 Convert vectors between polar and rectangular form

2.3 Perform basic vector calculations

2.4 Apply graphical techniques to solve simple vector problems

2.5 Apply vector techniques to simple problems

3. Check and communicate results

3.1 Review and check the outcomes

3.2 Record and use the result using specialised mathematical language and symbols appropriate for the task

Evidence of the ability to:

perform mathematical operations on vectors.

Note: Where a specific volume and/or frequency is not specified, evidence must be provided at least once.

Evidence of the following knowledge must be demonstrated:

basic knowledge and use of vectors.

Assessment texts and tasks reflect those typically found in the workplace.

Individuals can access a broad range of support resources.

Culturally appropriate processes and techniques suited to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of individuals and the work being performed must be used.

Reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure equity in assessment for people with disabilities.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements, have a sound knowledge of the ACSF and have demonstrable expertise in the vocational contextualisation and assessment of the core skill - numeracy.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
