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

Evidence of the ability to:

undertake research resulting in a profile of language, literacy and numeracy requirements of vocational context

develop sample of learner profiles with analyses of individual's literacy and numeracy skills, and teaching notes developed by the candidate, including activities and resources

collaborate with others in the VET context

develop an outline of strategies for language, literacy and numeracy support implemented in vocational training

evaluate support strategies and resulting outcomes.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

learners in vocational programs

wide range of resources appropriate for language, literacy and numeracy delivery in vocational contexts

access to vocational teaching colleagues.

Assessment must also ensure the use of culturally appropriate processes, and techniques appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.

Method of assessment

A range of appropriate assessment methods should be used to determine competency. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

evaluation of a report or case study

questioning to establish required knowledge

review of third-party reports

review of work samples.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

TAELLN701A Analyse and apply adult literacy teaching practices

TAELLN702A Analyse and apply adult numeracy teaching practices.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required knowledge

adult learning principles and practices as they relate to teaching practice

experiential, participative and projective instructional methods

language, literacy and numeracy skill development

national standards, such as:

Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF)

International Second Language Proficiency Rating (ISLPR) scale

policies and procedures of the training organisation based on the requirements of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF)

training specifications of the VET sector

sufficient knowledge of relevant industry or technical area in which working, including language, reading and writing, and calculation requirements to enable the:

identifying and teaching of underpinning skills

customising of learning materials, methods and strategies

teaching of vocationally relevant terminology

theoretical approaches to adult language, literacy and numeracy teaching

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.
