INTRODUCTION

Assessment is a difficult process – we understand this and have developed a range of assessment kits, such as this, to facilitate a seamless process for both the assessor and the learner being assessed. There are a number of characteristics of assessment, ranging from subjective assessment (which is based on opinions and feelings), to objective assessment (which is based clearly on defined processes and specific standards). Nearly all assessment involves a mixture of both types of assessment because it is almost impossible to eradicate the subjectivity humans carry into the process of assessing. The goal in developing and implementing these assessment kits is to work towards the objective end as far as possible and to reduce the degree of opinions and feelings present.

 

WHAT IS COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT

The features of a competency based assessment system are: ? It is focused on what learners can do and whether it meets the criteria specified by industry as competency standards. ? Assessment should mirror the environment the learner will encounter in the workplace. ? Assessment criteria should be clearly stated to the learner at the beginning of the learning process. ? Assessment should be holistic. That is, it aims to assess as many elements and/or units of competency as is feasible at one time. ? In competency assessment, a learner receives one of only two outcomes – competent or not yet competent. ? The basis of assessment is in applying knowledge for some purpose. In a competency system, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is seen to be ineffectual unless it assists a person to perform a task to the level required in the workplace. ? The emphasis in assessment is on assessable outcomes that are clearly stated for the trainer and learner. Assessable outcomes are tied to the relevant industry competency standards where these exist. Where such competencies do not exist, the outcomes are based upon those identified in a training needs analysis.

 

DEFINITION OF COMPETENCY

Assessment in this context can be defined as: ? The fair, valid, reliable and flexible gathering and recording of evidence to support judgment on whether competence has been achieved. Skills and knowledge (developed either in a structured learning situation, at work, or in some other context) are assessed against national standards of competence required by industry, rather than compared with the skills and knowledge of other learners.

 

REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT

Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability - November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities or installing a particular type of software on a computer for a person with vision impairment.

 

Why make a reasonable adjustment?

We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability have:

  • the same learning opportunities as learners without a disability
  • the same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.

 

Reasonable adjustment

applied to participate in teaching, learning, and assessment activities can include:

  • customizing resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited course
  •  modifying the presentation medium learner support  

 

use of assistive/adaptive technologies

  • making information accessible both prior to enrolment and during the course
  • monitoring the adjustments to ensure learner needs continue to be met.
