Qualification -
Unit of Competency AHCNRM507 - Manipulate and analyse data within geographic information systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to extract, compare and manipulate data within a Geographic Information System (GIS) in response to customer requests.This unit applies to those who undertake data analysis within a range of geographic information systems for the purpose of managing natural resources. They are likely to undertake a range of specialised skilled activities, exercise autonomy and take responsibility for complex work.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Develop procedures for manipulation and analysis of data
  • Specify desired data format based on job requirements
  • Specify parameters for the manipulation of data sets
  • Explain the procedure and rationale for development in new documented procedures
       
Element: Establish models required to provide outcome
  • Evaluate applicability of existing tools, models, theories, applications and solutions
  • Specify feasible parameters, equations and assumptions
  • Establish models required to provide specified outcome
       
Element: Analyse data
  • Specify steps to be undertaken and computer operating systems and applications to be used to analyse and manipulate data
  • Consider restricting factors when selecting techniques for analysis
  • Isolate and retrieve data from its source
  • Interrogate data to ensure reliability
  • Prepare data for presentation media
       


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.

1.2 Specify parameters for the manipulation of data sets

1.3 Explain the procedure and rationale for development in new documented procedures

2. Establish models required to provide outcome

2.1 Evaluate applicability of existing tools, models, theories, applications and solutions

2.2 Specify feasible parameters, equations and assumptions

2.3 Establish models required to provide specified outcome

3. Analyse data

3.1 Specify steps to be undertaken and computer operating systems and applications to be used to analyse and manipulate data

3.2 Consider restricting factors when selecting techniques for analysis

3.3 Isolate and retrieve data from its source

3.4 Interrogate data to ensure reliability

3.5 Prepare data for presentation media

The candidate must be assessed on their ability to integrate and apply the performance requirements of this unit in a workplace setting. Performance must be demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.

The candidate must demonstrate that they can extract, compare and manipulate data in response to customer requests.

The candidate must provide evidence that they can:

develop and document suitable procedures for data collection, manipulation and analysis

use or create appropriate models

use operating systems and computer applications for data analysis and report writing, according to organisational requirements

The candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

database structures

scripting and commands

line instructions and programming

operating systems used by enterprise for data analysis and storage, including:

UNIX

DOS

Windows

NT

range of tools, models, theories, applications and solutions

data analysis and manipulation techniques

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

3.5 Prepare data for presentation media

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.
