Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver ACMEQD402, 'Determine equine oral function efficiency'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Determine equine oral function efficiency' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
Element | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Identify the structures and determine the function of the equine oral cavity | 1.1 Define structures within the oral cavity by name and location from embryonic (or foetal) to mature equine 1.2 Describe the functions of oral cavity structures 1.3 Analyse and define structures and body systems that affect growth and health of oral structures and their functions 1.4 Describe and relate the process of prehension and mastication of food to normal oral function including the influence of different food types |
2. Relate the prehensile and masticatory function to teeth types | 2.1 Identify and classify equine teeth by name and location using established equine dental formulae and terminology 2.2 Identify structures of equine teeth and periodontium by name and location 2.3 Identify and define stages of development and eruption of equine teeth 2.4 Identify normal development and eruption 2.5 Identify abnormalities of development and eruption 2.6 Define the function of individual equine teeth |
3. Age the horse by interpreting tooth eruption, dental wear patterns and tooth angles | 3.1 Identify and define stages of equine dental eruption and age indicators 3.2 Determine incisor angles in relation to age and define the variables that affect this assessment 3.3 Identify and define occlusal wear and shape of teeth throughout horse life 3.4 Estimate the age of the horse based on presence or absence of deciduous and permanent teeth, wear patterns, tooth form and tooth angles 3.5 Document tooth status and oral conditions using accepted industry notation methods |
