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 wood objects which demonstrate a command of nominated techniques and which reflect the concept

general knowledge of tools, materials and equipment used in the production of wood objects.

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 wood object.

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 outcome

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 wood objects using the nominated techniques.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills:

literacy skills sufficient to read product and equipment safety labels and equipment instructions

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 the production of wood objects

general knowledge of different styles of wood objects 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 wood objects

typical work space and equipment requirements for the production of different types of wood objects

cleaning and maintenance techniques for tools and equipment used in the production of wood objects

awareness of copyright, moral rights and intellectual property issues

environmental issues associated with the tools, materials and equipment used in the production of wood objects

organisational and legislative occupational health and safety procedures in relation to the production of wood objects.

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 be fixed and include hand and/or power tools for:

assemblage techniques for wood

carving and turning wood

cutting

engraving, branding

other tools, e.g. measuring tools, mechanised paint stirrers, various fasteners and fittings

protective clothing.

Materials may include:

flexible industrial and/or natural materials

those required for assembling/joining wood and other materials

those required for wood finishing, e.g. sandpapers, stains, lacquers, paints

wood and wood products.

Wood objects may include:

carved panels, e.g. low or high relief

implements, e.g. letter openers, cutlery

jewellery

other functional items, e.g. walking sticks, boxes, trays, clocks

sculpture

simple furniture e.g. tables, lamps

simple musical instruments

turned flatware and bowls.

Workplace procedures may relate to such things as:

cost control

process-specific procedures

recycling

reporting

safety

use of materials.

Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:

dust extraction facilities

lighting

process-specific processes

ventilation.

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

combining wood with other materials

design and construction of jigs

joint construction

model making

simple assemblage techniques

simple wooden tool making or modification

timber preparation

wood bending and forming

wood carving

wood turning.

Testing techniques may include:

experimenting directly with work in progress

exploring techniques by making practice pieces

making samples applying nominated techniques.

Drawing may involve:

computer generated design

diagrammatical representation

drawing directly onto wood

full scale mock-ups

model making

paper and pencil

prototypes.

The concept for the proposed wood objects 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.
