Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:

ability to conduct research on costume requirements to meet the needs of a particular production

general knowledge of the history and evolution of clothing styles for men, women and children.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

demonstration of skills through the conduct of costume research for a particular production.

Method of assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:

review of a research portfolio developed by the candidate for a particular production

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of costume history and evolution

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Assessment of this unit requires access to:

sources of information on costume history and evolution.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

general research skills sufficient to source and analyse information on costume

Required knowledge

the role of costume within an overall production

history of costume development within the performing arts, both within Australia and overseas

the roles and responsibilities of different people in the costume design and production process and the differences between workplaces

the interrelationships between costume personnel and others involved in a production

the differences between everyday garment construction and costume construction process

sources of information on costume history and evolution

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Sources of information on costume may be both formal and informal and include:

books on costume, architecture, decorative arts, transport, textiles, colour

film, video

paintings and illustrations of the period

personal observation

photographs

the Internet

watching TV

writings of the period

General aspects of costume history and evolution must include the evolution of clothing styles in relation to:

basic shapes/silhouettes

foundation garments

trims and accessories

types of fabrics used

The link between costume design and other production aspects may relate to:

the role of different individuals in the design process

the ways in which costumes may need to be adapted to meet physical or creative performance aspects
