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 SISOFSH312A, 'Demonstrate estuary fishing skills'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Demonstrate estuary fishing skills' 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 of a unit of competency. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the Evidence Guide. |
1. Prepare for estuarine fishing. | 1.1. Identify target recreational species and their habitats. 1.2. Identify potential hazards associated with estuarine fishing and procedures to minimise risks. 1.3. Access relevant sources to interpret detailed weather and environmental information that may impact on the activity. 1.4. Determine the most appropriate fishing technique for the target species. 1.5. Select appropriate fishing rig, equipment, terminal tackle, bait or lure and berley for target species and check working order. 1.6. Select safety equipment and gear to minimise risk of injury. 1.7. Assemble and balance fishing rig to suit target species, habitat and the fishing environment. |
2. Catch estuarine fish. | 2.1. Locate appropriate fishing location and determine safety measures according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. 2.2. Deploy fishing rig using appropriate technique to present lure or bait to the target species. 2.3. Disperse berley if applicable. 2.4. Monitor fishing rigs performance and change settings as required to optimise outcomes. 2.5. Retrieve rig and land fish in appropriate manner according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. |
3. Handle estuarine fish. | 3.1. Handle and release fish in a humane manner according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. 3.2. Release fish using appropriate tagging and return techniques. 3.3. Despatch retained fish in a humane manner according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. |
4. Finalise fishing operations | 4.1. Analyse performance of the fishing rig, bait or lure and berley. 4.2. Identify improvements or modifications for future fishing sessions. 4.3. Clean, maintain and safely stow fishing rig and equipment according to organisational policies and procedures. |
