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:

production of textile work which demonstrates a command of nominated techniques and which reflects the concept

general knowledge of tools, materials and equipment used in textile/fibre work.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

The assessment context must provide for:

evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate

practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce a minimum of one example of textile/fibre work.

Method of assessment

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

direct observation of work in progress

questioning and discussion of candidate's intentions and work

written or verbal reports

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 with interrupted schooling).

Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce textile/fibre work.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to read product and equipment safety labels

numeracy skills sufficient to calculate quantities and cost.

Required knowledge:

general knowledge of physical properties and capabilities of the most commonly used materials, tools and equipment for textile/fibre work

general knowledge of different styles of textile/fibre work and the work of key practitioners

overview knowledge of the formal elements and principles of design

introductory knowledge of the historical and theoretical contexts for textile/fibre work

typical work space and equipment requirements for the production of different types of textile/fibre work

cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools and equipment used in textile/fibre work

awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues

environmental issues associated with the tools, materials and equipment used in textile/fibre work

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to textile/fibre work.

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.

Tools and equipment may include:

blenders

bobbins

brushes

dyeing and casting vats

hotplates

looms

measuring containers

moulds and deckles

needles, e.g. knitting, embroidery

printing blocks and screens

saucepans

scales

sewing machines

spoons, spatulas scrapers, squeegees

steamer

tjantings.

Materials may include:

cellulose fibres

chemical powders and solutions

cold and hot water dyes

dye powders

fabric lengths or pieces

fabricated fibres

found fabrics and fibres

natural fibres

paints and fabric inks

printing block and screen materials

recycling paper

resist dyes.

Textile/fibre work may include:

decorated or embellished fabric, e.g. using printing, stitching, embroidery techniques, dyeing, resist dyeing

felt

knitted objects or garments

paper

simple objects, e.g. baskets, mats

woven fabric.

Workplace procedures may relate to:

cost control

process-specific procedures

recycling

reporting

safety

use of materials.

Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:

lighting

process specific requirements

ventilation

wet and dry areas.

Within this unit the range of techniques used would generally be quite limited in nature and may include:

dyeing, e.g. resist, tie-dye, natural/synthetic dyes

felt making techniques

hand painting techniques

hand paper making techniques, e.g. sheet, cast

knitting and knotting techniques

printing, e.g. block, silk screen, stamps

stitching, e.g. embroidery, appliqué, patchwork

tapestry

weaving, e.g. on and off loom, basket.

Testing techniques may include:

experimenting directly with work in progress

exploring techniques by making practice pieces

making samples applying nominated techniques.

Drawing may include:

drawings on paper

drawings or markings directly onto work in progress

electronic imaging.

The concept for the proposed textile/fibre work may be influenced by:

elements and principles of design

the subject matter or theme for the work, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.
