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 CPCCPA3001A, 'Prepare subgrade, base and bedding course for segmental paving'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Prepare subgrade, base and bedding course for segmental paving' 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 |
1. Plan and prepare. | 1.1. Work instructions and operational details are obtained using relevant information, confirmed and applied for planning and preparation purposes. 1.2. Safety (OHS) requirements are followed in accordance with safety plans and policies. 1.3. Signage and barricade requirements are identified and implemented. 1.4. Tools and equipment selected to carry out tasks are consistent with the requirements of the job, checked for serviceability and any faults are rectified or reported prior to commencement. 1.5. Materials quantity requirements are calculated in accordance with plans and specifications and quality requirements. 1.6. Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use. 1.7. Environmental requirements are identified for the project in accordance with environmental plans and statutory and regulatory authority requirements and applied. 1.8. Importance of the design and installation of the base, bedding and surface layers in the performance of the paving project are identified. |
2. Identify soil type. | 2.1. Class of soil is identified using soil class charts. 2.2. Soil is assessed to determine its properties. 2.3. Results of penetration tests are used to determine subgrade requirements. |
3. Prepare subgrade. | 3.1. Drainage and other features are identified within the area to be paved. 3.2. Remedial actions are used where required. 3.3. Drainage needs are identified and drains put in place where required. 3.4. Services are identified in work area. 3.5. Termite barriers are identified and not breached, or remedial action is taken if needed to ensure barrier integrity is maintained. 3.6. Damp proof courses are identified and paving is constructed so that it does not compromise them. 3.7. Components are cleaned, stacked and stored for reuse or bundled for removal. |
4. Excavate the site. | 4.1. Site is excavated in preparation for paving to remove top soil, weeds and their root systems. 4.2. Factors that determine amount of excavation are identified. 4.3. Bulking factor for different soil types is calculated. |
5. Install base course materials. | 5.1. Quantity of base course materials is calculated based upon the subgrade type and purpose of the paved area. 5.2. Material is distributed over area, allowing for compaction. 5.3. Area is compacted, taking care not to over-compact base materials. 5.4. Compacting machinery is handled correctly. |
6. Install bedding course materials. | 6.1. Bedding course material is selected, ensuring that it is suitable for the purpose. 6.2. Need for geotextile materials as drainage or separation layers is determined. 6.3. Quantity of layer course materials is calculated. 6.4. Bedding course is stabilised for paths with slopes of greater than 1:15. 6.5. Transverse concrete supports are installed for driveways with a sloping pavement of greater than 5 metres. 6.6. Material is distributed over the area to be paved within tolerances stipulated by relevant standards. 6.7. If using bedding sand, area is compacted to Australian standards taking care not to over-compact base materials, and allowance is made for compaction. 6.8. Compacting machinery is handled correctly. 6.9. If using concrete, area to be paved is framed and concrete is mixed to manufacturer's directions and spread to required depth. |
7. Screed base materials. | 7.1. Base materials are screeded to levels as determined, and set out by stringlines or other mechanisms. 7.2. Excess base materials are screeded to a specified area. |
8. Clean up. | 8.1. Work area is cleared and materials disposed of, reused or recycled in accordance with legislation, regulations, codes of practice and job specification. 8.2. Plant, tools and equipment are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and standard work practices. |
