PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

This Unit Standard requires learners to be able to design learning events that are relevant for specific contexts. Credited learners can make critical decisions regarding the design and delivery of learning events, and can gather information about learning expectations. Development practice benefits from well-designed learning events through the exchange and optimal use of learning resources. Social and economic transformation is enhanced as coherence within the sector is enhanced, and those participating in well-designed learning events improve their own competence. Credited learners are capable of: Analysing relevant information that impacts on learning event design. > Range: Relevant information includes policies, contexts, needs and rights of learners, development theories, learning strategies, barriers to learning and availability of resources. Designing learning experiences that meet learning expectations. Developing learning support materials relevant for specific learning outcomes. Developing learning event plans according to context requirements.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Learners are assumed to be competent in Communication and Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 4.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

The typical scope of this Unit Standard is a structured learning event that form part of a development initiative (including projects and/or programmes).

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Requirements include key learning outcomes, time frames, resource requirements, learning support materials, specific learner group characteristics and special needs requirements, and impact and evaluation criteria.

UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS

Assessment of learner achievements takes place at providers accredited by a relevant ETQA (RSA, 1998b) for the provision of programs that result in the outcomes specified for this Unit Standard. Anyone assessing a learner against this Unit Standard must be registered as an assessor with a relevant ETQA. Any institution offering learning that will enable achievement of this Unit Standard must be accredited as a provider with a relevant ETQA. The relevant ETQA according to the moderation guidelines and the agreed ETQA procedures will oversee moderation of assessment and is responsible for moderation of learner achievements of learners who meet the requirements of this Unit Standard.

UNIT STANDARD ESSENTIAL EMBEDDED KNOWLEDGE

Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO):

UNIT STANDARD CCFO WORKING

Work effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation or community to design learning experiences that meet learning expectations and prioritised expressed needs are addressed in accordance with the outcomes of consultation processes.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO ORGANISING

Organise and manage oneself and one's activities responsibly and effectively when plans are achievable within time allocated for specific events.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO COLLECTING

Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information that impact on learning event design and when content and sequencing of experiences are justified in terms of underpinning theories of learning and facilitation.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO COMMUNICATING

Communicate effectively using visual, mathematic and/or language skills in the modes of oral and/or written presentation of learning design plans in written format.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO SCIENCE

Use science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility towards the environment and health of others when new learning materials are created using specified, relevant principles and guidelines for designing learning materials.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO DEMONSTRATING

Demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation when lessons learnt from previous learning events are analysed in terms of recommendations for improvements, quality management recommendations incorporated within design achieve optimum alignment between organisational and learning objectives and language and level of complexity are appropriate for identified learners.

UNIT STANDARD NOTES

Notes to assessors Assessors should keep the following principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments against this Unit Standard: Focus the assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcome expressed in the title to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember we want to declare the person competent in terms of the title. Where assessment at title level is unmanageable, then focus assessment around each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes. Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies. Assessment activities should be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to show the learner is able to perform in the real situation. Do not focus the assessment activities on each assessment criterion. Rather make sure the assessment activities focus on outcomes and are sufficient to enable evidence to be gathered around all the assessment criteria. The assessment criteria provide the specifications against which assessment judgements should be made. In most cases, knowledge can be inferred from the quality of the performances, but in other cases, knowledge and understanding will have to be tested through questioning techniques. Where this is required, there will be assessment criteria to specify the standard required. The task of the assessor is to gather sufficient evidence, of the prescribed type and quality, as specified in this Unit Standard, that the learner can achieve the outcomes again and again and again. This means assessors will have to judge how many repeat performances are required before they believe the performance is reproducible. All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well documented principles of assessment: appropriateness, fairness, manageability, integration into work or learning, validity, direct, authentic, sufficient, systematic, open and consistent.
