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 CUAACD509, 'Develop and refine metalworking techniques'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Develop and refine metalworking techniques' 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. Evaluate metalworking options for work projects | 1.1 Evaluate how metalwork may be used in art and design practice to achieve desired outcomes or effects 1.2 Explore the potential of different metals and the technologies and tools required for their use 1.3 Investigate specific safety requirements associated with metalwork, including appropriate licensing considerations 1.4 Make an assessment of capacity to safely use metalwork in own practice |
2. Select and prepare metalworking materials, tools and equipment | 2.1 Establish 2.2 Establish technical specifications and creative parameters for metalwork 2.3 Select and set up materials, 2.4 Calculate correct quantities of materials, avoiding wastage where possible |
3. Use metalworking techniques | 3.1 Cut, bend and shape metal to specification using correct tools and following all required safety procedures 3.2 Apply soldering, brazing and welding techniques following all required safety procedures 3.3 Achieve different outcomes and effects through safe experimentation with various media and materials 3.4 Recognise and resolve metalwork technical and design problems 3.5 Achieve precision and accuracy in use of techniques 3.6 Apply safe strategies for the use, maintenance and storage of metalworking tools and equipment |
4. Evaluate metalwork | 4.1 Review metal items produced in terms of durability, quality of finish, and suitability for purpose 4.2 Assess the work in terms of its creative and aesthetic objectives 4.3 Identify and act on the potential for adjustment and refinement in future work |
