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.

The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competence for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competence and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statements

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered

Assessment must confirm sufficient knowledge of research and planning techniques to determine open space supply and demand relevant to a sport or recreation industry sector (sport, outdoor recreation, community recreation or fitness) and to develop an action plan

Assessment of performance should be over a period of time covering all categories for determining the supply and demand for open space from the Range Statements that are applicable in the learner's environment

Assessment must confirm the ability to apply this knowledge and appropriate techniques to

conduct a feasibility study to determine requirement for open space planning

conduct research to assess supply of and demand for open space

correctly analyse data against valid criteria

develop a policy and action plan suitable for implementation

establish procedures to monitor effectiveness of plan

Interdependent assessment of units

This unit must be assessed after attainment of competency in the following unit(s)

Nil

This unit must be assessed in conjunction with the following unit(s)

Nil

For the purpose of integrated assessment, this unit may be assessed in conjunction with the following unit(s)

Nil

Required knowledge and skills

Required knowledge

Organisation policy and procedures

Methodology to conduct feasibility studies

Organisation goals and objectives

Organisation strategic plan

Open space management policy and procedures

Sources of information and resources

Required skills

Research skills to conduct studies, gather information

Mathematical skills to statistically evaluate data

Planning and analytical skills to set criteria

Time management to prioritise work and set time frames

Communication and consultation skills to liaise with stakeholders

Resource implications

Physical resources - assessment of this unit of competency requires access to

a regional open space

associated resources and information on the location

Human resources - Assessment of this unit of competency will require human resources consistent with those outlined in the Assessment Guidelines. That is, assessors (or persons within the assessment team) must

be competent in this unit but preferably be competent in the unit at the level above

be current in their knowledge and understanding of the industry through provision of evidence of professional activity in the relevant area

have attained the mandatory competency requirements for assessors under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) as specified in Standard 7.3 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations

Consistency in performance

Due to issues such as variations in contextual issues, this unit of competency must be assessed over a period of time in order to ensure consistency of performance over the Range Statements and contexts applicable to the learner's work environment

Context for assessment

This unit of competency must be assessed in the context of a real open space supply and demand study for a sport or recreation industry sector. The environment should be safe with the hazards, circumstances and equipment likely to be encountered in a real workplace

Assessment of this unit of competency will usually include observation of processes and procedures, oral and/or written questioning on required knowledge and skills and consideration of required attitudes

Where performance is not directly observed and/or is required to be demonstrated over a "period of time" and/or in a "number of locations", any evidence should be authenticated by colleagues, supervisors, clients or other appropriate persons

These levels do not relate to the Australian Qualifications Framework. They relate to the seven areas of generic competency that underpin effective workplace practices.

The three levels of performance (1, 2 and 3) denote the level of competency required to perform the task:

Use routine approaches

Select from routine approaches

Establish new approaches

Collecting, analysing and organising information - Using qualitative and quantitative research techniques to collect and analyse a broad range of economic and social issues in relation to open space

Communicating ideas and information - Communicating and liaising with stakeholders to collect information and share information

Planning and organising activities - Planning and conducting research activities

Working with teams and others - Collaboratively working with others to develop an action plan

Using mathematical ideas and techniques - Using relevant statistical techniques in research activities

Solving problems - Identifying constraints and/or barriers to assessing an open space and providing contingency plans

Using technology - Using relevant computer software for research

Please refer to the Assessment Guidelines for advice on how to use the Key Competencies.
