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!

HLTKIN508B - Apply an advanced kinesiology assessment framework

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Analyse and interpret information received

  1. Correlate results of the health assessment with the case history
  2. Recognise signs and symptoms of conditions in the client and identify as prerequisites or contra-indications for healing strategies
  3. Assess information gathered and assign priorities in consultation with the client using the knowledge and experience and theoretical principles applied by the kinesiology practitioner
  4. Gather, record and organise information in a way which can be interpreted readily by other professionals
  5. Analyse body patterns and differentiate by assessing signs and symptoms
  6. Identify condition according to stage and related implications (e.g. acute/chronic) by applying principles of assessment
  7. Use professional judgment to draw sound conclusions and prognosis from the data collected
  8. Elicit assessment signs and symptoms in a thorough and objective manner to avoid premature conclusions on the session plan
  9. Systematically monitor the clients progress in order to confirm the clinical impression
  10. Combine client history and clinical data to obtain a differential assessment, prognosis and session plan

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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

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

The individual being assessed must provide evidence of specified essential knowledge as well as skills

Observation of performance in the workplace or a simulated workplace (defined as a supervised clinic)

Consistency of performance should be demonstrated over the required range of situations relevant to the workplace

Where, for reasons of safety, space, or access to equipment and resources, assessment takes place away from the workplace, the assessment environment should represent workplace conditions as closely as possible

Assessment must be undertaken by an assessor who is formally recognised by an Australian kinesiology peak body

Assessment of sole practitioners must include a range of clinical situations and different client groups covering at minimum, age, culture and gender

Assessment of sole practitioners must consider their unique workplace context, including:

interaction with others in the broader professional community as part of the sole practitioner's workplace

scope of practice as detailed in the qualification and component competency units

holistic/integrated assessment including:

working within the practice framework

performing a health assessment

assessing the client

planning treatment

providing treatment

Context of and specific resources for assessment:

Resources essential for assessment include:

qualified assessor who is also recognised by an Australian kinesiology peak body

relevant texts or medical manuals

relevant paper-based/video assessment instruments

appropriate assessment environment

Method of assessment

Observation in the work place

Written assignments/projects or questioning should be used to assess knowledge

Case study and scenario as a basis for discussion of issues and strategies to contribute to best practice

Clinical skills involving direct client care are to be assessed initially in a simulated clinical setting. If successful, a second assessment is to be conducted during workplace application under direct supervision

Questioning

Role play simulation

Short tests and essays

Access and equity considerations:

All workers in the health industry should be aware of access and equity issues in relation to their own area of work

All workers should develop their ability to work in a culturally diverse environment

In recognition of particular health issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, workers should be aware of cultural, historical and current issues impacting on health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Assessors and trainers must take into account relevant access and equity issues, in particular relating to factors impacting on health of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander clients and communities

Related units:

This unit should be assessed in conjunction with the following related units:

HLTKIN506B Perform an advanced kinesiology health assessment

HLTKIN507B Plan an advanced kinesiology session
