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 SFIFISH310A, 'Adjust and position fishing gear'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Adjust and position fishing gear' 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. Organise work area to adjust fishing gear | 1.1. Appropriate fishing gear and related equipment are selected. 1.2. Unsafe and inefficient aspects of the work area are identified and rectified. 1.3. Work teams are given clear instructions about the task and methods to be used. 1.4. Resources necessary for the completion of the task are made available when needed. 1.5. Tools, equipment and techniques devised for maintaining and readying fishing devices for deployment are appropriate for planned operations. |
2. Adjust components of fishing gear to optimise catch | 2.1. Criteria for assessing sub-optimal fishing gear performance are used to judge effectiveness. 2.2. Observations are made on catch and fishing device components to provide data on position, symmetry and performance. 2.3. Effectiveness of deployment of fishing device components is assessed by comparing catches and observed operation of components with gear plans. 2.4. Fishing device components are adjusted, reconditioned or constructed to rectify sub-optimal gear performance. |
3. Position fishing gear to optimise catch | 3.1. Fishing strategy is developed to incorporate all relevant factors. 3.2. Position, concentration and movement of the target species and environmental and other characteristics of area of operation are monitored by visual and electronic means. 3.3. Positions of vessel and fishing device during deployment and retrieval is monitored and adjusted, as required, to optimise catch and avoid hazards. 3.4. Fishing device movement is anticipated and its position is altered to maintain desired position by changing vessel course and speed. 3.5. Catches are analysed to determine effectiveness and performance of fishing device. |
