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.

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

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

demonstration of the incorporation and integration of specific knowledge of industry traditions into own photoimaging practice.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

project or work activities that allow the candidate to research and apply information on traditions of photoimaging to specific contexts and work activities.

Method of assessment

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

questioning and discussing the candidate's intentions and work outcome

written and/or verbal presentation

slides or multi-media presentation

review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) 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 which interrupted schooling).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials resources and equipment needed to source, identify and collect information. It also requires access to a forum for discussion and debate, and a context for presentation.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to source and evaluate information to in order to develop positions about the traditions which inform photoimaging practice and to incorporate and integrate knowledge of industry trends to own photoimaging practice

numeracy skills sufficient to interpret technical charts and diagrams related to the traditions which inform photoimaging practice.

Required knowledge:

broad range of sources of information on the traditions which inform photoimaging practice

formal and informal research techniques to access information relating to the traditions which inform photoimaging practice

evolution of the photographic image

current trends in photography/photoimaging

copyright, moral and intellectual property issues associated with sourcing, evaluating and applying research to own photoimaging practice.

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 may include:

film, Web

historical texts

images, objects

journal articles

oral histories

scientific texts

secondary texts

stories

technical or medium specific information

the writings of cultural theorists and philosophers.

Information may relate to:

aesthetics

criticism

cultural issues

gender and identity issues

histories of art, photoimaging, craft and design

land and place

light

linguistics

new technologies

philosophy

politics

signs and symbols

spiritual concerns

world histories.

Exploring potential new and alternative sources of information involves accessing information in a culturally appropriate way and may involve:

interviews with innovative photoimaging practitioners

visits to trade fairs, galleries, special events, laboratories, fabricators, manufacturers of specific photoimaging equipment and materials.

Formal and informal research techniques may include:

analysis

comparing information

critical discourse

discussion

judgement

note taking, listing

observation

summation.

Organising research materials and findings may involve:

charts

data base

diagrams

files

indices

mind maps

sketches.

Evaluating may include:

comparing

considering merit

contrasting

critiquing

discussion and debate

reflecting.

Developing positions in relation to the traditions which inform photoimaging practice involves examination of viewpoints within:

age in relation to human life

culture, race, ethnicity

ecology, science

gender

philosophy

politics

spirituality.

Updating and expanding knowledge of the traditions which inform photoimaging practice may involve:

discussions with innovative practitioners in relevant areas of photoimaging practice
