HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY- BASED LEARNING

MATERIALS
Welcome!
The unit of competency, "Plan Training Session", is one of the
competencies of TRAINERS METHODOLOGY LEVEL I (TM) 1, a course
which comprises the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for a TVET
trainer to possess.
The module, Planning Training Session, contains training materials
and activities related to identifying learners requirements, preparing session
plan, preparing basic instructional materials and organizing learning and
teaching activities for you to complete.
In this module, you are required to go through a series of learning
activities in order to complete each learning outcome. In each learning
outcome are Information Sheets, Self-Checks, Task Sheets and Job Sheets.
Follow and perform the activities on your own. If you have questions, do not
hesitate to ask for assistance from your facilitator.
Remember to:
Read information sheets and complete theself-checks. Suggested
references are included to supplement the materials provided in this
module.
Perform the Task Sheets and Job Sheets until you are confident that
your outputs conform to the Performance Criteria Checklist that
follows the sheets.
Submit outputs of the Task Sheets and Job Sheets to your facilitator
for evaluation and recording in the Accomplishment Chart. Outputs
shall serve as your portfolio during the Institutional Competency
Evaluation. When you feel confident that you have had sufficient
practice, ask your trainer to evaluate you. The results of your
assessment will be recorded in your Progress Chart and
Accomplishment Chart.
You must pass the Institutional Competency Evaluation for this
competency before moving to another competency. A Certificate of
Achievement will be awarded to you after passing the evaluation.
You need to complete this module before you can perform the module
on Facilitating Learning Sessions.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-1

Competency-Based Training
Learning Objectives
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. define Competency-Based Training;
2. enumerate and explain the ten principles of CBT;
In a traditional educational system, the unit of progression is time and
it is teacher-centered. In a Competency Based Training system, the unit of
progression is mastery of specific knowledge and skills and is learner- or
participant-centered. Two key terms used in competency-based training are:
SkillA task or group of tasks performed to a specific level of

competency or proficiency which often use motor functions and
typically require the manipulation of instruments and equipment (e.g.,
use of vacuum cleaner in cleaning carpeted floor). Some skills,
however, such as counseling, are knowledge- and attitude-based.
CompetencyA skill performed to a specific standard under specific

conditions.
Trainers Methodology I is a training program for TVET trainers in

using the Competency-Based Training Delivery Approach for training and
assessment.
The learning activities that you are about to undergo will give you a
hands-on training on how to plan, design, implement, monitor and evaluate
CBT.
In this lesson you will be introduced to CBT, its principles and
context.
Competency-Based Training
It is a training delivery approach that focuses on the competency

development of the learner as a result of the training;
Emphasizes most on what the learner can actually do;
Focuses on outcomes rather than the learning process within

specified time;
It is concerned with the attainment and application of knowledge,

skills and attitude to a specific level of competency.
In CBT, the education and training system should begin and end with
the customer needs.

Competency
Competency involves applying knowledge, skills and attitudes to
perform work activities to the standard expected in the workplace.
Competencies are gained through:
life experience
formal education
apprenticeship
on-the-job experience
self-help programs
training and development programs
Key features of competency
being able to do the job
knowing how and why things are done
knowing what to do if things go wrong
Knowing the right approach to do a job properly and safely.

1) Task Skills
This requires performance of the task[s] to the required standard as

described in the unit of competency and expected in the workplace.
Trainer needs to provide activities to develop individual actions as

well as the whole task.
2) Task Management Skills
Captures the skills used as people plan and integrate a number of

potentially different tasks to achieve a complete work outcome.
Trainees should be provided with learning activities that develop

skills to be able work efficiently to meet deadlines, handle a sequence
of interrelated tasks and progress smoothly between tasks.
3) Contingency Management Skills
The requirement to respond to irregularities and breakdowns in

routines.
Activities that develop skills of trainees in dealing with contingencies

should be well planned. For example:
a. breakdown
b. irregularities
c. imperfections
d. the unknown.
Exposure to these conditions during the in-house training

should be a part of the practice of the skills.
4) Job/Role Environment
The requirement to deal with the responsibilities and expectations of

the work environment.
The capacity to work with others and adapt to different situations is

central to successful performance
Does the trainee comply with workplace procedures and standard

methods in performing the task?
Does the trainee communicate effectively?
Does the trainee observe enterprise and regulatory requirements?

Ten (10) Principles of CBT

1) The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency
standards.
Learning is based on the Competency-based Curriculum
The Competency Standard (CS) is the written specification of the
knowledge, skills and attitudes and values required for the performance of a
job, occupation or trade and the corresponding standard of performance
required for these in the workplace.
The industry workers identify these standards and are promulgated by
the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in the Training
Regulations (TR).
The Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) is derived from the
Competency Standards. It is a plan for structured series of learning
experiences toward achieving of competencies identified by the industry; it
details training methodologies, resources, facilities, infrastructure and other
materials required both for training and assessment strategies.
2) Learning is competency-based or modular in structure.
Unit of Competency
Module
1
Module
2
Module
3
Generally one competency is one module but some competencies

maybe divided into training modules. A qualification is composed of a set of
competencies a worker should have. When planning your training, your
trainees should learn one competency after another until they attain all
competencies of the qualification.

3) Training delivery is individualized and self-paced.

Learning is done by the learner at own pace
As trainers, you should provide activities that will allow each trainee
to advance on his own without waiting for the other trainees in his class to
finish. Facilities, resources and materials should also be structured so that
trainees could learn competencies at their own pace.
4) Training is based on work that must be performed.
Learning is based on the actual industry practice
5) Training materials are directly related to the competency standards

and the curriculum.
CS
CBC
LMs
Competency Standards are updated specifications of the qualification.

Oftentimes, learning materials that are directly related to these standards
are not available in bookstores. You should put your resources together to
produce learning materials and learning activities appropriate to attain the
performance criteria in the CS.
The Competency-Based Curriculum will be your guide to plan for both
training and assessment of your trainees. Your learning materials should be
developed to attain the assessment criteria in the CBC.
The CBC will be further discussed in the succeeding information
sheet.

6) Assessment of learners is based in the collection of evidences of work

performance based on industry or organizational required standards.

CBTVET
Each Student is assessed

7) Training is based on and off the job components and off the job
components.
Better learning with industry and school partnership
8) The system allows Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Workers and Students can have prior skills recognized
CBT focuses on the competencies that are not yet acquired by the
trainee in any learning situation. Competencies acquired as a result of
previous training, employment and life experiences should be recognized so
that trainees will not waste time doing the learning activities of the
competencies that they already have. It is one of your task to identify these
prior learning of your trainees and plan for the training of each trainee
based on this data.
9) The system allows for learner to enter and exit programs at different
times and levels and to receive an award for competencies attained at
any point.
There is flexibility for entry and exit from programs
10) Approved training programs are nationally accredited.

Training programs are registered within UTPRAS

Any program offered in TVET should be registered with the Unified

TVET Program Registration and Accreditation System (UTPRAS). This covers
the following:
1. Program Registration is a compulsory compliance with minimum
requirement prescribed in the Training Regulations(TRs) and
anchored on competency-based system. Program registration
prescribes full compliance with prevailing training standards,
correction of sub-standard ones and denial of registration of
registration for those who fail to comply. An integral part of
program registration is the monitoring of registered programs for
continuous compliance to standards.
2. Program Accreditation is a voluntary process of demonstrating
quality assurance to programs and institutional processes that
shall lead to the recognition and conferment of awards various
levels of exemplary performance.
Compliance to UTPRAS would include training approaches,
curriculum, learning materials, facilities, resources and other training
materials.
You should therefore learn how to plan and implement
Competency-Based Training to comply with UTPRAS.
This training on Trainers Methodology is one of the requirements of
UTPRAS.

The mandate
Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994
(Republic Act No. 7796)
Section 22, Establishment and Administration of the National Trade
Skills Standards of the RA 7796 known as the TESDA Act mandates
TESDA to establish national occupational skill standards.
The
Authority shall develop and implement a certification and
accreditation program in which private industry group and trade
association are accredited to conduct approved trade tests, and the
local government units to promote such trade testing activities in their
respective areas in accordance with the guidelines to be set by the
Authority
The Training Regulation (TR) is the document that serves as a basis in
the formulation of competency assessment and the development of
curriculum and instructional materials for competency-based technical
education and skills development (TESD). The training Regulations consist
of two components: the occupational skills standard and the training
standards.
The Training Regulations serve as basis for the:
1. Competency assessment and certification;
2. Registration and delivery of training programs; and

Characteristics of Learners
Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST
be able to determine the different characteristics of
trainees.
One of the most important data that you must have when planning
training sessions is the characteristics of your trainees. In CBT, we consider
individual differences in training because CBT is self-paced. The design of
training and instructional materials should therefore suit characteristics of
each trainee.
This lesson will discuss the different characteristics that you should
know about your learner so that you will be able to plan training for each of
them.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNERS
One important part of planning a training session is to analyze
trainees so that the training suits their:
1. ability level
2. learning styles & preferences
3. motivations and
4. interests because they are the bases in choosing the methodologies to
be used by the trainer.
It is important to note that:
a. One of the key features of competency-based training is that, it is
customized and personalized. This is difficult to achieve if trainers
are not aware of, either, the differences among trainees, or, how
they may be able to work with these trainees to address their
specific needs to allow them to demonstrate competence.
b. While the issues are diverse, the solutions are frequently applicable
across different topics.
c. Not all issues for trainers are issues for trainees.
d. By altering some simple components of training, issues can be
resolved; e.g. language issues - having assessment in the local
language rather than in English.

TRAINEES CHARACTERISTICS TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN PLANNING

A TRAINING SESSION
Characteristics of
trainees
What does this mean to the plan?
Language,
literacy and
numeracy (LL&N)
This influences the methods you can use and

the activities and tasks that are suitable to
the training and the trainee. You must be
prepared for different LL&N levels and must
have numerous resources available for
different requirements.
Cultural
background
Be aware of different cultural backgrounds

and practices.
There maybe activities that you choose which
are inappropriate because of cultural
background and practices.
Education and
general
knowledge
General education levels are helpful for you

to know at what level to pitch the delivery of
the session.
Gender
The whole plan is affected if you have a group

of all female, all male or a mixture if there are
activities that involve demonstration, role
play and so on
Age
Age can affect the plan depending on what is

delivered, how it is delivered and at what
pace it is delivered
Physical ability
Be aware of any trainee who is less able than

others to perform physical tasks before the
beginning of the session

the topic
Different levels of experience can be useful,

and to plan well ahead, you should know
who has what experience so it can be used to
you and other trainees advantage
Previous learning
experience
It is helpful if you have knowledge of trainees

Training level
completed
This helps you identify other trainings

attended by your prospective students
Special courses
You may use their special training and ability

in some special arrangements/assignments
during training
Learning style
A trainee could be auditory, visual or

kinesthetic
Other needs
This refers to special needs that would be

requested by the trainees. e.g. schedule for
working student, single parent, etc
LEARNING STYLES
Some trainees sit through hours of lectures and retain all the
information presented while others benefit more from hands-on lab classes.
Reason? Trainees have different learning styles, which present both trainers
and students with a problem when classes are taught in one set way that
might only benefit one kind of learner. Trainees can however, help
themselves by finding out what kind of learner style they belong to and
customize their study habits to that particular style.
There are three major groups of learners, which are Kinesthetic,
Visual and Auditory. These groups represent three very different kinds of
trainees, who are all presented with difficulties during their education.
Most of the time trainees have combinations of these learning styles.
I. Visual Learner
The visual learner will often lose focus during long oral lectures,
especially if these are not accompanied by drawings and illustrations. The
visual learner takes mental pictures of information given, so in order for this
kind of learner to retain information, oral or written, presentations of new
information must contain diagrams and drawings, preferably in color. The

visual learner can't concentrate with a lot of activity around him and will
focus better and learn faster in a quiet study environment.
Visual learners are often:
1. Good spellers
2. Fast readers
3. Great at seeing the big picture but often forget smaller details
4. Good at remembering faces but have a hard time remembering names
The visual learner will benefit from:
1. Color-coded notes
2. Using drawings to illustrate
3. Outlining information
4. Using mind maps and flash cards
II. Kinesthetic Learner
Kinesthetic learners are described as the students in the classroom,
who have problems sitting still and who often bounce their legs while tapping
their fingers on the desks. They are often referred to as hyperactive students
with concentration issues.
Kinesthetic learners are often:
Gifted performers
Naturally athletic
To get the most of an education the kinesthetic learner can:
1. Choose classes with hands-on labs
2. Study with (loud) music in the background
3. Use memory and flash cards
4. Study in small groups
5. Take breaks often during study

III. Auditory Learner

For the auditory learner, oral presentations are crucial for
understanding a subject, as this kind of learner has the ability to remember
speeches and lectures in detail but has a hard time with written text. Having
to read long texts is pointless and will not be retained by the auditory learner
unless it is read aloud.
The auditory learner often has:
1. Strong language skills
2. A well-developed vocabulary
3. The ability to follow spoken directions well
4. A hard time remembering faces but easily remembers names
For the auditory learner to get the most out of classes it can be helpful
to:
1. Record lectures
2. Use word associations
3. Listen to audiotapes
4. Read notes aloud
5. Sit in the front of the class where the teacher can easily be seen and
heard.
6. Study and discuss subjects with other students
The structured questionnaire below was prepared as a data
gathering tool to help determine trainees characteristics. Let trainees
answer these questions before answering the data gathering
instrument for determining trainees characteristics.

Kolb's Learning Inventory

Kolbs learning inventory of learning styles describes a learning process
and a style with the emphasis on the need for learning to be grounded in
experience, and the importance of a person being active in learning. It provides
guidance in situations where learner differences play a role in communication
and human interaction. The model provides ways to gauge personal inclinations
toward learning, and offers a clear and actionable way to accommodate learners
in learning environments. There are 4 main styles. Most people have a
preference for 1 or 2 styles.
In the United Kingdom, Honey and Mumford (1992) built on David Kolbs
innovative work and offered a model of learning preferences using the
descriptions Activist, Reflector, Theorist and Pragmatist.

Trainees Current Competencies
1. define current competencies;
2. explain why there is a need to identify the trainees current
competencies;
In the previous lessons, you learned that important data about your
trainees are needed as inputs in planning your training sessions. One of
them is the trainees characteristics.
Trainees training needs is another important data that you need to
collect as a trainer so that you will be able to identify the skills and
competencies needed by individual trainees. In CBT, competencies or skills
that are already previously acquired by the trainee will no longer be repeated
in their learning activities.
In this lesson, you will learn to determine these current competencies.
Current Competencies
Current competencies are the skills and knowledge of your new
trainees obtained through formal training, work experience or life
experience. These should be determined before you can prepare your session
plan, so as not include the same competencies where the trainees are
already competent.
How can the Current Competencies be Determined
Current competencies can be determined by using the following:
1. Self-Assessment Checklist It is a checklist of competencies required
of a qualification.
2. Proof of Competencies - Portfolio assessment or validation of evidences
of competency such as employment certificates with specific duties
and responsibilities, projects personally done by the trainee, certificate
of awards and other related proofs.
3. Pre-assessment result
Pre-assessment in CBT has the following functions:
a. Diagnostic - intended to diagnose areas of weakness, or
misunderstanding, and strength. It involves collecting evidence
to diagnose or identify a training need or performance problem.

This type of assessment is used to identify a learners gaps in

knowledge and to ensure the content of the subsequent training
will meet the learners needs.
The pre-test is a written test that would initially test the
knowledge of your trainees on the competencies that they need
to learn
b. Formative - This type of assessment assists and supports
learning by providing feedback about performance and progress
towards the achievement of competency. It is also a method for
the collection of evidence, and determining a candidates
readiness for her or his final assessment.
For our purpose, this type of assessment will be used to
assess whether a trainee is ready to be assessed for purposes of
Recognition of Prior Learning
c. Summative Assessment In case the trainee is ready to be
assessed for a competency as a result of his employment and
life experiences, you may finally give him a summative
assessment to recognize his prior learning for some or all of the
competencies of the qualification.
Why determine current competencies?

1. To identify the competencies to be covered in the training plan.
2. To assess the trainees current competency in comparison to the
stated standards of competence required
3. To identify which relevant skills the trainee possesses and does not
possess, so that the training program can be tailored accordingly.

Case Study
Response to a situation which is presented to the learner. Used to
ascertain the learners problem solving techniques and underpinning
knowledge.
Oral presentation
Learners give an oral presentation about an area of knowledge or their
projects to a small group, usually including a trainer, their assessor, their
colleagues and any other interested parties.
Journal
A journal that records learning activities, skills and knowledge
acquisition.
Problem Solving
Implementing problem solving techniques to analyse a product or
process for problems or errors.
Project
Demonstration of skills and knowledge in the completion of a
project.
Video or Audio Tapes
Recording performance in the workplace that is subsequently reviewed
by an assessor.
Certificate of Award or Employment
Certificate of employment or awards that reflect the responsibilities of
the trainee maybe a proof of his competency.
Assessment is the gathering of evidence from a range of sources, and
frequently more than one type of evidence is used to fairly and reliably
determine competence. When selecting an appropriate strategy for the
collection of evidence in determining trainees current competency, there are

factors that need consideration. These factors, which will be discussed in

MODULE 4, include:
o The requirements of the specific competency unit(s) or learning
outcome
o The needs of the assessor and the trainee being assessed
o The authenticity of the evidence. That is, that it actually relates
to the performance of the person being assessed, and not that of
another person.
o Sufficiency of the evidence to demonstrate competency
o The currency of evidence. That the evidence is still relevant and
current according to competency standard requirements.
o Whether the task being assessed or the location of the
assessment involve a strong element of OH & S or
environmental risk
In cases of doubtful proof or evidence submitted, it will always be the
right of the Trainer to investigate.
For Certificates of Award or Employment:
1. The Trainer can call or personally ask for confirmation from the
signatories of the certificate issued by a company or an industry.
In reviewing the documents submitted by the trainee, the following
should be considered:
Authenticity of the document
Date acquired
Standing of the company/employer who issued the certificate
For submitted projects/videos/photos:
2. The Trainer can visit the company to prove the existence of the
workplace where the task/job was done.
In the example above, the Trainer must be assured that the
documents are valid and authentic. In this case he needs to call the
company that issued the certificates to confirm the validity and
authenticity of the documents. Careful consideration should be given to
the collection of evidences to ensure that all components of the

This section presents sample methods and instruments in identifying

current competencies and training need of trainees.
Current Competencies are determined by using the following forms:
1. Self-assessment Check (Form 4.1)
2. Validation of Competency evidences(Form 4.2)
3. Summary of Current competencies versus required competencies(Form
4.3)
4. Training Needs(Form 4.4)
Trainers may use their ingenuity to develop other instruments that
may validate proofs/evidences of current competencies such as assessment
instruments.
FORM 1.1 SELF-ASSESSMENT CHECK

INSTRUCTIONS: This Self-Check Instrument will give the trainer necessary
data or information which is essential in planning training
sessions. Please check the appropriate box of your answer
to the questions below.

Training Design
Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to
identify the factors to be considered in developing training design.
In LO1 you learned how to develop materials to determine training
characteristics and needs. The Competency Standards which is the main
basis of Competency-Based Training was discussed so that you will be able
to determine the competencies required of your qualification.
The
assessment criteria is also the basis for assessing the skills of a trainee
during the pre-assessment and in recognizing prior learning.
In this lesson, we will discuss the factors that we should consider
when designing a training program so that we make our session plan.
Training is a set of a systematic processes designed to meet learning
objectives related to trainees' current or future jobs. These processes can be
grouped into the following phases; needs analysis, design, development,
implementation, and evaluation. The phases are sequential, with the
outputs of the previous phases providing the inputs to those that follow.

Training design is a systematic process that is employed to develop

education and training programs in a consistent and reliable fashion .
Instructional Design (also called Instructional Systems Design
(ISD)) is the practice of creating "instructional experiences which make the
acquisition of knowledge and skill more efficient, effective, and appealing."
The process consists broadly of determining the current state and needs of
the learner, defining the end goal of instruction, and creating some
"intervention" to assist in the transition. Ideally the process is informed by
pedagogically (process of teaching) and andragogically (adult learning) tested
theories of learning and may take place in student-only, teacher-led or
community-based settings. The outcome of this instruction may be directly
observable and scientifically measured or completely hidden and assumed.
There are many instructional design models but many are based on the
ADDIE model with the five phases:
1. analysis - analyze learner characteristics, task to be learned, etc.
Identify Instructional Goals, Conduct Instructional Analysis,
Analyze Learners and Contexts
2. design - develop learning objectives, choose an instructional approach
Write Performance Objectives, Develop Assessment Instruments,
Develop Instructional Strategy
3. development - create instructional or training materials
Design and selection of materials appropriate for learning
activity, Design and Conduct Formative Evaluation
4. implementation - deliver or distribute the instructional materials
5. evaluation - make sure the materials achieved the desired goals
Design and Conduct Summative Evaluation
The analysis of the CS is a very important step in the design of your
training program. In the analysis you need to establish the following:
1. the main skill to be mastered;
2. the learning contents of the competencies
underpinning knowledge and skills.
including
t he
3. assessment criteria for the skill to be mastered.

In the structure of the CS, each competency was divided into learning
outcomes. Learning outcomes describe the task needed to complete the
competency. You should always establish the main competency and the
t asks i nvol ve d.

Page 76 of 251
In analyzing the assessment criteria of the Learning Outcome always

look for the task to be mastered. Combining the tasks of the Los and the
underpinning skills would complete the competency.
Example:
In Computer Hardware Servicing the first competency is Install
Computer System and Networks.
The main competency is to Install
computer system and networks.
The competency is divided into the
following LOs:
LO1. Plan and prepare for installation
LO2. Install equipment/device system
LO3. Conduct test
In most cases, the trainer would immediately proceed to the
installation of computer called assemble and disassemble. But if we
were to analyze the first LO training should start with planning and
preparing for installation. Let us analyze the assessment criteria of
LO1.
1. Installation planned and prepared to ensure that safety measures,
policies and procedures followed, and that work is appropriately
sequenced in accordance with the industry standards
2. Technical personnel consulted to ensure that the work coordinated
effectively with others involved on the worksite
3. Computer systems and network devices obtained in accordance
with the established procedures and to comply with requirements
4. Location where devices and systems to be installed is determined
from job requirements
5. Materials necessary to complete the work obtained in accordance
with established procedures and checked against job requirements
6. Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out the
installation work obtained in accordance with established
procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
7. Preparatory work checked to ensure that no unnecessary damage
has occurred and that work complies with requirements
The first challenge here is to identify the main task to be mastered.
Then identify the other tasks that are essential to the attainment of
the main task. In analyzing the criteria look for the verbs that would
signal a skill to be done.
In the first criteria, the verbs are planned and prepared. The verbs
that follow are consulted, obtained and checked. The main skill
here would be planning and preparation for the installation of
computer which is a task in the installation of computer system and
networks.

Now that we have identified the main task of the LO, we shall identify
the topics or contents based on the given assessment criteria that help
us attain the main task to be mastered.
In the first criteria, there is the safety measures, policies and
procedures which may be included as a content unless this topic was
discussed in your common competencies. Be careful that this topic
should not be discussed as the universe of safety measures, policies
and procedures. You should limit the content on those that are
needed for the competency which is installation of computer system
and networks.
In the second criteria, there is the technical personnel to be
consulted. These will be the people that should be contacted.
In the third criteria, we can see the computer systems and network
devices. This is a very important topic because this will be the
hardware needed to be installed. Since topic is a broad content, it will
be divided into chunks. Going back to the CBC, these are the
recommended contents for this topic:
Tools, equipment and testing devices are not in the CBC but you
should include them as content.
After establishing the contents, you should not forget that the main
task is planning and preparing for installation. You should prepare
an activity that would give a trainee an opportunity to practice this
task.
Designing your training session would involve developing learning
objectives, choosing an instructional approach, develop assessment
instruments and develop instructional strategy. In making your design you
should consider the following:
1. Characteristics of your trainees basic characteristics
that maybe potential barriers in training should be
identified and addressed on a trainee per trainee basis
when planning training sessions.
2. Adult learning principles adults learn differently from
elementary and high school students. In choosing your
methods and structuring the training materials

therefore, you should consider how adult trainees learn.

3. Learning styles of your trainees varied learning styles
would require variations in the methodologies to be
employed with CBT. Your training design should be able
to provide learning activities for every trainee
considering his learning style.
Applying the Principles of Adult Learning

Learner Motivation
Adults must want to learn
In addition to communicating the learning objectives we need to show
how the learner and their work will benefit from the training.
Use overviews to engage the learner
State benefits in the outline of each topic and including learning
activities that reinforce the benefits
Providing self assessments as a prelude to the module or topic
Create personas to assist you to focus on the learners
Adults generally have a concept of being responsible for their own
decisions. Keep this in mind and incorporate it in the learning. If you take
this away from them then you will be undermining their ability to engage in
the training.
The most potent motivation for adult learners are internal pressures
(self esteem, life quality). So meet these needs. Allow and encourage people
to explore, recognise their achievements and apply them to their learning
and training.
Learner Orientation
Adults will learn only what they feel they need to learn
Adults must feel the things they are learning are relevant and will be
useful. So make the links to the work they are doing or could be doing in the
future by:
Including examples and case studies on how others have used the
knowledge or skills

Provide opportunities

for
the
learner
to
control
their
learning
Using a problem solution approach

Adults are task centered or problem centered in their orientation to
learning. So make sure you look at issues, and how to work through them,
and keep on track.
You need to lead them to discover their own solutions for issues, not
tell them what to do. Encourage your learners to work together, to discuss,
debate and share ideas and information.
Experience
Adults learn by comparing past experience with new experience
Adults bring to a wealth of experience and knowledge into their
learning activities. When they learn something new most check how this fits
in or is different from what they already know.
In developing and using learning materials we should devise way to
tap into this knowledge and to provide frameworks or models that assist the
learner to establish relationships between what they know and the new
knowledge or skill.
Sharing of personal experiences or stories is one way this can be
achieved.
Orientation to Learning
Adults need immediate feedback concerning their progress
We need to provide opportunities for learners to track their progress and to
get constructive feedback on their learning. Providing self assessment
questionnaires or check lists and quizzes are useful techniques for learners
to track their progress. Make sure answers are readily available.
Orientation to Learning
Adults want their learning to be practical
Adult interest in learning surges when we can provide exercises that
provide the experience of applying a new concept or skill to a real life
situation.
Try to provide opportunities for learners to link their learning with
people, issues or activities in their lives.

Dispositional Barrier
Adults try to avoid failure
Adults often perceive the trial and error approach to learning as too
risky and resist exploring this approach to learning. This is especially true if
the person has experienced learning difficulties in the past. Consider the
learners fears and emotional safety when developing training or learning
activities. Ensure the real consequences of failure are low. Begin with easy
learning activities and build complexity once learners have experienced
success.
Learning Styles
Adults do not all learn the same way
Adults have their own styles of learning. So ensure the design of your
program and the way you write learning materials features activities,
content and language that appeals to a broad range of learning styles. Use
visual auditory and kinesthetic language. Include graphics and diagrams.
Consider using role plays, case studies, games, simulations, essays and
readings etc.
When
deductions:
planning
your
training
session,
consider
the
following
People will learn more effectively when using their preferred style
People improve their capacity to learn when they can expand their
preferences
When learning materials and activities accommodate a range of
preferences, more learners will be successful
Training materials can be developed that appeal to learning preferences
In making your session plan you combine knowledge of competencies,
content, learning outcomes, instructional techniques and learning activities.
Putting these together into a structured training program is a challenge for
trainers.
Robert Gagns (1999) model useful in providing a structured approach
of learning. This provides a nine steps that can assist you in your plan:
1. Gain Attention to orientate and motivate the learner

Information Sheet 1.2-2

Training Delivery Modes and Methods
After reading INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. enumerate the training delivery modes recommended for use in CBT;
2. differentiate the training methods.
In the design of training program, there are 5 steps: analysis, design,
development, implementation and evaluation. Analysis and design were
discussed in the previous information sheet. In designing your training
program it is very important that you choose effective training delivery
modes and methods. In this information sheet we shall discuss training
modes and methods. You should be able to choose training modes and
methods appropriate for the knowledge content and skills to be trained in
your competencies.
In Philippine TVET, we are required to follow the competency-based
training approach.
To be able to employ this approach the training
regulations recommends training modalities.
Training Delivery Modes
The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of
delivery modes both on and off-the-job as the learning is driven by the
competency standards specified by the industry. The following training
modalities may be adopted when designing training programs:
1. The dualized mode training delivery is preferred and
recommended. Thus, programs would comprise both, in-school
and in-industry trainings or fieldwork components. You may refer
to the Dual Training System (DTS) Implementing Rules and
Regulations for the details.
2. Modular/self-paced learning is a competency-based training
modality where the trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace.
The trainer just facilitates the training delivery.
3. Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality where fast
learners are given the opportunity to assist the slow learners.
4. Supervised-industry-training or on-the-job training is a
training approach designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of
the trainee through actual experience in the workplace. It, also,

enables the trainee to acquire specific competencies prescribed in

the training regulation.
5. Distance Learning is a formal education process in which
majority of the instruction occurs when the students and
instructor are not in the same place. Distance learning may
employ correspondence study, audio, video or computer
technologies.
Training delivery methods consist of the techniques and materials
used by trainers to structure or design learning experiences. Different
training delivery methods may be better or worse at achieving various
learning objectives.
During the design phase the different training delivery methods are
examined to determine their appropriateness for the learning objectives.
Once appropriate methods are identified, they are applied to the training
plan in the development phase.
There are three categories of learning objectives:
skills, and attitudes (KSAs).
knowledge,
Knowledge objectives are of three types: declarative, procedural, and

strategic.
Declarative knowledge is the person's store of factual information.
Procedural knowledge is the person's understanding about how
and when to apply the facts.
Strategic knowledge is used for planning, monitoring, and
revising goal-directed activities.
A skill reflects one's proficiency at specific tasks such as operating a
piece of equipment, giving a presentation, or making a business decision.
The various training delivery methods can be divided into cognitive
and behavioral approaches:
Cognitive methods provide information, maybe in oral or written
form, demonstrate relationships among concepts, or provide the rules for
how to do something. They stimulate learning through their impact on
cognitive processes and are associated most closely with changes in
knowledge and attitudes.
The lecture, discussion, e-learning and, to some extent, case studies
are cognitive methods. Though these types of methods can influence skill
development, it is not their strength.
Conversely, behavioral methods allow the trainee to practice behavior
in a real or simulated fashion. They stimulate learning through experience
and are best at skill development and attitude change.

Equipment simulators, business games, role plays, the in-basket

technique, behaviour modelling and, to some extent, case studies are
behavioural methods.
Both behavioural and cognitive methods can be used to change
attitudes, though they do so through different means.
Learners have different learning preferences and style on how they will
receive learning. Following are methods that a trainer may use.
Training Methods:
-
Lecture
- Modular self-paced
Role Playing
- Debate
Group Discussion
- Demonstration
Forum
- SLE
Buzz Group
- Practice
Brainstorming
- Public Speaking
Case Study
- Study Circle
Field Trip
Active Lecture (With questions and discussions):

o Used to present information and ensures that it is understood
and remembered.
o Questions allow for involvement of participants and clarification
of points made.
o It is flexible and informal, avoids boredom and takes advantage
of experience and different backgrounds.
o It needs a confident and effective trainer to respond to questions
and keep discussion in course.
GROUP SIZE SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 30 PEOPLE.
Modular self-paced method requires a trainee to read and follow
instructions on a Competency Based Learning Material and learns on his
own pace. The CBLM should be carefully crafted materials that can help the
trainee learn both knowledge and skill.
This method requires the trainer to have a complete CBLM and other
learning materials.

Debate
o Used to examine alternative views on a contentious subject, to
give practice in preparation and presentation of such views.
o It is done through alternating one-way communication by a
series of speakers on a set topic.
o There is no guarantee, however, of materials being adequately
covered.
o GROUP SIZE CAN BE ANY SIZE.
Group Discussion
o Uses active involvement of participants in the learning process.
o Improves self confidence and takes advantage of existing
knowledge and experience of group.
o Stimulates group to think, question, and express themselves
and to clarify their problems and ideas.
o Done through interactive situation, usually with appointed
leader, there is a set topic, main points and conclusions are
usually reported back to large group.
o GROUP SIZE IS FROM 6-10 PARTICIPANTS
Forum
o Used to present a range of experts opinion on a topic, and
interaction between conflicting views.
o This provides information and stimulates interest in a topic.
o Here, experts seat in front of a group and present their views
consecutively.
o It uses one-way communication; although; occasionally
questions maybe addressed to the panel.
o It is difficult to ensure balance of views and needs a competent
chairperson.
Buzz Group
o Usually used in conjunction with structure to sound out
interest, views, opinions in any audiences.
o Involves everyone. Breaks up lecture, increases participant
activity and alertness
o This maybe used to provide feedback

o After a segment of information presentation, the lecturer asks

participants to talk among themselves for a short time (no more
than 5 minutes) in response to a question or topic he/she
presents
o SIZE IS USUALLY 3 OR 4 PARTICIPANTS
Brainstorming
o Used to develop creative thinking. Maybe used as part of a
planning exercise or to get ideas in order to solve a problem.
o All participants contribute their ideas on a subject or problem.
o All ideas are recorded. Participants are urged to be as open as
possible.
o Contributions are not discussed or evaluated until recording
stage is complete.
o As to its limitation, many ideas may not be subsequently used,
it is necessary to be critical on some suggestions, needs time for
full process to occur.
Case Study
o Provides discussion and aids understanding of real issues, aids
listening and discussions skills. Helps in problem analysis.
o Provides participants with learning which maybe directly
applied to a similar situation in their work.
o Detailed information about a situation or event which illustrates
a particular problem is necessary. The group addresses the
problem in any way which they feel, constructive.
o This however needs careful preparation. A case may not be
relevant to everyone. Participants and contributions vary. It is
time-consuming and careful guidance and intervention maybe
required.
o GROUP SIZE SHOULD BE 3-6 MEMBERS.
Role Playing
o It is the best-known way to help participants both experience
certain feelings and practice certain skills.
o You can set up a dramatic situation in which participants are
required to confront someone else and then discuss the feelings
generated by the role-playing experience.

o In addition, you can design a role-playing exercise to enable

participants to practice constructive methods of confrontation.
Field Trip
o Field work, site work, outside visit
o Allows participants to observe the operation of an activity or
process on site and record their observation for later analysis.
Demonstration
o Used to explain and demonstrate a process or skills, so that
each group member can understand and reproduce the action.
o Immediate practice is a necessary part of this technique;
otherwise, the process or skill maybe forgotten.
Structured Learning Exercise
o Exercises are used to simulate real-life situations or incidents in
order to highlight interaction and group process or to focus on
problem solving.
o The purpose, structure and operation of exercise are outlined by
the trainer.
o Roles of various participants are described and allocated to
various people.
o Observers may be appointed, recording of the activity is vital
and the trainer usually does not intervene during operation.
o Review and evaluation form a critical part of the learning
process.
Practice
o Used to provide learners with an opportunity to demonstrate
their mastery of new skills or knowledge in a real life situation
Public Speaking
o Every time a participant is called to present or offer to say
something in front of the other participants, it is actually public
speaking.
o This does not make it an easy skill to perform. Besides, different
people have different ways to communicate. The bottom line is
that, if a person feels confident when addressing a crowd, he or
she usually communicates more effectively.
o This confidence can be enhanced through practice.

Study Circle
o When a group of workers decide that they want to study or learn
from each others experience, they form a study circle.
o The group can meet in private homes in the workplace or in any
private function room (secluded area). The circle assigns a study
circle leader who is responsible for minutes and organizing of
the meetings.
Guiding principles in method selection
o A method suitable in one situation may not be appropriate in
another.
o The value of a method and the quality of tools used depends on
how it is applied.
o Methods must complement one another.
James Bennett-Levy et.al. in their research entitled Acquiring and
Refining CBT Skills and Competencies: Which Training Methods are
Perceived to be Most Effective? found that different training methods
were perceived to be differentially effective. For instance, reading,
lectures/talks and modeling were perceived to be most useful for the
acquisition of declarative knowledge, while enactive learning strategies (roleplay, self-experiential work), together with modeling and reflective practice,
were perceived to be most effective in enhancing procedural skills. Selfexperiential work and reflective practice were seen as particularly helpful in
improving reflective capability and interpersonal skills.

Selecting training methods (instructional techniques)
There is no best way to help people learn.
Take these 8 factors into consideration when choosing training

methodology/instructional techniques (Robinson 1979; Apps 1991;
Rothwell and Kanzanas 1992;Tracey 1992):
1.
Learning outcomes/objectives
Acquiring new knowledge?
Enhancing thinking skills?
Developing psychomotor skills?
Or changing attitudes, values and/or feelings?
2. Trainers (instructors)
Are they capable of using the method?
Are they comfortable doing so?
3. Content
Is the content abstract or concrete?
How complex and comprehensive is the material?

Session Plan
be able to:
1. identify and explain the different parts of the session plan;
2. explain how learning contents are sequenced;
3. discuss learning activities in relation to the nine events of instruction.
This Information Sheet shows how training content and training
activities are integrated, sequenced, and documented in a training outline
which is used to formulate the completed training curriculum.
Generally, the longer the program, the more often it is delivered, and
the more complex the curriculum, the more detail is required in the training
outline. It is important to make the outline as clear and complete as possible
so that important points will not be overlooked during the preparation of the
trainer guide and the participant materials.
Regardless of the length and complexity of a training program, if other
people will be involved in materials development and delivery, the outline
must be written in sufficient detail to communicate to them the designer's
intent.
What is a Session Plan?
Session Plan is a simply stated, clearly written and flexible trainer aid for
conducting a session or module. It is:
based on the curriculum of the unit of competency.
accomplished according to the suggested format .
Benefits of a Session Plan

1. Gives the trainers an idea of where they are and where they are going
2. Gives the trainers and the learners a clear idea of what they are doing
3. Records the training sessions the trainers have taken

1.
Industry Sector/Qualification & Title
Every qualification belongs to a sector. To know what sector a

particular qualification belongs to, refer to the Training Regulation or
Competency Based Curriculum of the said qualification. Browse TESDA
website: www.tesda.gov.ph for downloadable files.
Example:
Sector:
Construction
Qualification: Plumbing
Level:
2.
NC III
Unit of Competency:
The Units of Competencies comprise a Qualification. Basically they are

grouped into three:
o Basic Competencies
o Common Competencies, and
o Core Competencies
3.
Module Title
This is actually the unit of competency. The difference of the Unit of

Competency and the Module Title is, the verb in the module title is in the
present participle (ending in ing) form.
Example:
Unit of Competency: Draft Plumbing Design
Module Title:
4.
Drafting Planning Design
Learning Outcomes
Are the learning blocks/units that comprise the module. In the

Training Regulation, they are termed as Elements while in the CBC they are
termed as Learning Outcomes.
Example (From the CBC of Plumbing NC III):
Unit of Competency: Draft Plumbing Design
Learning Outcomes:
LO 1: Determine location/layout of plumbing facilities
LO 2: Layout plumbing plan and/or working drawings
LO 3 : Determine bill of materials

5. Introduction
This is the part of the session plan that intends to motivate the
student to learn. It will acquaint the student to what he/she is:
1. going to learn in the module,
2. why it is important,
3. how it relates to what has already been learned
It is also termed as Module Descriptor in the CBC.
Example: Unit of Competency : Draft Plumbing Design
Module Descriptor of Draft Plumbing Design:
This module covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes in drafting of
various plumbing designs and/or working drawings taken from the
approved plumbing design.
6. Learning Activities
These are actions the student will do to achieve the learning outcome
stated in the module of instruction.
The session plan template recommended by TESDA follows Robert
Gagnes nine events of instruction. Let us discuss these steps in relation to
the parts of the session plan.
Nine Events of Instruction
1. Gain Attention
2. Inform Learners of Objectives
3. Stimulate Recall of Prior Knowledge
The first three steps would be a part of the introduction.
Oftentimes these steps need to be integrated with the activities
at the beginning of the training sessions. Every start of the
session, usually in the morning, trainees should be reminded of
the overall objectives of the training, what skills do they need to
learn in relation to the activities they are currently going
through. You should always recall previously learned contents
or tasks and connect it to the overall objective or skill.
4. Present the stimulus/material
5. Provide guidance for learning
Presentation of the stimulus or the topic/content to be learned
depends on the methods chosen to be appropriate by the trainer.
Presentation and development of the lesson should cater to
trainees with different characteristics and learning styles.

6. Elicit performance
Every content should be given an opportunity to practice.
Knowledge contents would require you to prepare self-checks
while skills to be mastered should be provided with task sheets,
operation sheets or job sheets.
7. Provide feedback
Since CBT provides for self-paced learning, instructional
materials should be developed to allow for self-evaluation which
is a venue for providing feedback for self-paced learning. Answer
key of self-checks for example can give immediate feedback on
the trainees responses while Performance Criteria Checklists
can be used for self-evaluation or peer evaluation. The trainer
should always remember that his feedback as the trainer is the
most effective feedback. You should always practice giving
constructive feedback to all trainees.
8. Assess performance
Although CBT allows for self-evaluation, the trainer should
always assess trainees performance using the performance
criteria checklists or the institutional competency evaluation
t ool s.
Institutional competency assessment should always include
written test to test knowledge, performance test for skills and
interview to assess attitude and to ensure that the four
dimensions of competency are covered in the assessment.
9. Enhance retention and transfer
Job Sheets are practice tools that integrates tasks learned in the
learning outcomes. Try to make Job Sheets with different
performance conditions to expose the trainee in the different
conditions or situation in an actual job. If the trainee is given an
opportunity for actual job situation, this will be a better
alternative to enhance retention and transfer of learning
Parts of the Learning Activities:
a. Learning Content
b. Presentation
c. Practice
d. Feedback
e. Learning Resources
f. Time (optional)
a.
Learning Content comprises of the learning elements to be covered

in the learning outcome

In identifying the learning contents:

1. Summarize the knowledge, skills and/or attitudes to be covered.
2. Present the learning content in small chunks of information.
3. Arrange the learning contents logically.
Learning Contents for every Learning Outcomes are specified in the
CBC but if contents are too long to be discussed as a topic, they should be
disintegrated into chunks.
In sequencing contents, the hierarchy of learning should be taken into
consideration. Always arrange your contents from simple to complex.
Gagnes hierarchy of learning shows how these skills are arranged from
simple to complex:
Verbal information: Reciting something from memory
Intellectual skills:
Discrimination: Recognizing that two classes of things differ
Concrete concept: Classifying things by their physical features
alone
Defined concept: Classifying things by their abstract (and
possibly physical) features
Rule: Applying a simple procedure to solve a problem or
accomplish a task
Higher-order rule: Applying a complex procedure (or multiple
simple procedures) to solve a problem or accomplish a task
Cognitive strategies: Inventing or selecting a particular mental
process to solve a problem or accomplish a task
Attitudes: Choosing to behave in a way that reflects a newly-acquired
value or belief
Motor skills: Performing a physical task to some specified standard
Within the intellectual skills group there is a learning hierarchy, e.g.
rules can not be learned without mastering a defined concept. To prepare an
instructional design for a given learning objective, one has to construct a
learning hierarchy (sometimes called a task analysis) and ask "what are the
intellectual skills one needs to have mastered in order to achieve an
outcome ?" Since Gagne is also an instructional designer he formulated the
"nine events of instruction" lesson design model that draws both from
behaviorism (lower levels) and cognitivism (higher levels). An idea that has
been taking up by many modern instructional design models is that
teaching should transition from simple to complex skills. It should also be
noted that outcomes can build on various components, e.g. a defined
concept can build on facts (verbal information) and appropriate attitudes.

7. Learning Resources
These are materials that will be needed to support and facilitate learning of
the students/trainees.
Example:
CBLM
Pattern paper
Pen and pencil
Eraser
Drawing instruments
Drawing table
Orthographic drawing
Isometric drawing
Elevation and section plan
8. Time (optional)
Since the approach of the learning is self-paced, time or duration of
the training is not a MUST. However, a Trainer/facilitator can opt to identify
the time or duration of the training as a basis to identify whether the trainee
is a slow or fast learner.
In documenting the learning process (Trainers reflection), it is
advisable to indicate how long it took for each trainee to finish and
successfully apply the process or idea presented.
9. Trainees Evaluation
This indicates the method of evaluating the achievement of the
Learning Outcome.
Assessment maybe:
Formative:
- This is a form of progress checks for every Learning
Outcome.
Progress check can be conducted through written
tests or practical test.
Summative:
-
This is a form of evaluation given at the end of the module.

This can also be conducted through written and practical
tests.

10. Trainers/Teachers Reflection
This part of the Session Plan serves as the documentation of the

conduct of the training on a unit of competency. Highlights of the use of the
CBLM must be recorded/documented and must be considered in the
validation/improvement of the manual.
Factors to be considered in the documentation:
- Successful moments or events experienced throughout the learning
process
- Feedback from the learners/trainees regarding the use of the CBLM
- Result of the Evaluation
Areas like sufficiency of learning content, appropriateness of learning
and evaluation methodology, well-maintained training facilities, capacity
of the Trainer to facilitate the training, sufficiency of learning resources
and other factors related to the conduct of the training shall be recorded
which shall serve as a basis for review, evaluation and improvement of
the session plan
11. Time
Although an optional requirement for self-paced training, time is still
considered as one of the essential factors in identifying effectiveness of the
training
delivery
and
the
design
of
learning

Basic Instructional Materials
Learning Objective:
1. enumerate different forms of instructional materials;
2. identify the factors to be considered when making the CBLM.
Competency-based training is dependent on the readiness of learning
materials. In this lesson we will discuss varied learning materials to address
the different factors to be considered in designing Competency-based
Learning Materials (CBLM).
Competency-Based Learning Material (CBLM) Package is simply a
well-designed and carefully developed learning materials that give trainees
detailed instructions to guide them through the learning process.
Competency-Based Learning Materials (CBLM) refer to
1. Media that contain information related to work requirement;
2. Learning that is guided toward achieving the competency required in
a workplace;
3. Tools that facilitate individual learning process;
4. Instruments that measure the competency required in the workplace.
Different forms of learning materials
1. Learning guides,
2. Assessment materials,
3. Workbook with activities, tasks and content
4. Background reading materials or documents
5. Hand outs and other audio visual materials
6. Industry competency standards
7. Organizational policies, procedures or legislations

Principles of CBT
Competency-Based Training is characterized as individualized and
self-paced, and this is made possible through the use of self-paced learning
materials. Some of the principles of competency-based training that have to
be considered in preparing Competency-Based Learning Materials are the
following:
1. Learning is based on competency required in a workplace;
2. Training materials are directly related to the competency standards
and the curriculum;
3. Training is geared toward performance activities;
4. Criteria for assessing is based on workplace standard;
5. Assessment uses actual performance or evidence related to work
requirement;
6. Learning is done by the learner at own pace.
The main basis of CBT is the competency standards in the training
regulations. In writing the CBLM it is crucial that you:
Have a detailed knowledge of the relevant competencies
Can visualise what competent performance would look like in the

workplace
Use these understandings to make decisions on the structure,

learning activities and content of the materials we are writing
A thorough analysis of the Competency Standard is a very vital

process before developing your materials. The process is summarized as
follows
1. Each learning outcome within the unit competency needs to be
analysed by considering the performance criteria

2. For each performance criterion the writer then identifies the

embedded knowledge and skills needed for performance. Many of
the underpinning skills and knowledge are identified in the
evidence guide section of the competency but a prudent trainer will
check this against their knowledge of the learners workplace.
Within the learning outcome you should be able to identify the
main task to be mastered before identifying the knowledge contents
essential in the attainment of the main task/skill. You should be
able to determine how this task is related to the main skill of the
competency.
The trainer should take note that a competency is divided into
smaller chunks in the learning outcomes. Combining the tasks
learned in the learning outcomes would complete the competency.
3. The range statements and evidence guides should then be carefully
examined for additional embedded knowledge and skills or to
clarify already identified embedded knowledge and skills
4. Finally the range of variables should be analysed to determine the
context and conditions to which the performance criteria apply.
5. Overlaps in knowledge and skills to the various learning outcomes
and competencies should be identified so that you can efficiently
structure you CBLM.
Trainees Characteristics
Potential barriers to learning may takes its root from the trainees
characteristics. As the trainer, you should be sensitive to these possibilities
so that you can overcome these barriers. Below are some suggested way to
overcome barriers.
Potential Barriers
Suggested ways to overcome
Language, Literacy Low language, literacy and numeracy is a fact among

Key Characteristics of Adult Learners

Adult learners desire that learning be:
relevant;
task-oriented;
participatory (two-way communication);
friendly (controlled stress, positive feedback);
varied (demonstrations, case-studies, role play; not just lectures); and
built on past experience.
These characteristics are based on the following eight principles of adult

learning (Sullivan et al 1995):
Learning is most productive when the student is ready to learn.
Although motivation is internal, it is up to the clinical trainer to create
a climate that will nurture motivation.
Learning is most effective when it builds on what the student already

knows or has experienced.
Learning is most effective when students are aware of what they need
to learn.
Learning is made easier by using a variety of training methods and

techniques.

Learning Styles
In LO 1 of this competency, we discussed about the different learning
styles. This affect how trainees, gather, organize and think about the
information they acquire from learning. A deeper understanding of each of
the learning style will help you vary the activities both in facilitating learning
sessions and in developing your learning materials.
Since you are
developing a learning material which will cater to a wider audience, you
should consider how trainees with different learning style learn.
Nine events of instruction
The sequence of learning activities in the session plan was guided by
the nine events of instruction. In developing your CBLM, it will likewise be
helpful to think of the Robert Gagnes nine events of instruction as a guide.
The following suggestions may be incorporated into the CBLM to ensure that
these steps are addressed and the module provides activities for self-paced
learning.
Gain Attention
Inform Learners of
Objectives
Capture the learners attention at the start of each

topic or learning activity by using such things as:
A thought provoking question
Storytelling
Interesting facts
Case studies
The introdution of every learning content should
be structured such that it catches the attention of
the trainee.
Providing the learner with specific, measurable
objectives that guide them in the learning process
and assist the learner to organise their thoughts
around what they are about to learn.
A good objective is not a description of the course
contents rather they inform learners of what they
will be able to do under what conditions and to

specific verbs like:

Avoid broad objectives such as know, learn and

Stimulate Recall of
Prior Knowledge
Present the material

Provide guidance for
learning
Elicit performance
Provide feedback
This allows the trainees to build on their previous

knowledge or skills. It is easier for trainees to
encode and store information in long term
memory when they can make linkages to their
previous experiences and knowledge.
The introduction of the information sheet should
contain the recall and rejoinder.
Chunk the information and organise it to appeal
to the different learning styles.
This is not the presentation of content. It is
assistance to facilitate the long term storage of the
new knowledge. Approaches include use of
examples, case studies, graphical representations
and analogies. This is the body of the information
sheet where the content is developed. The
information sheet should contain not only the
facts but how the facts relate to the skill to be
mastered.
Provide the opportunity to practice by providing
an opportunity for the learner do something with
the newly acquired behaviour, skills, or
knowledge. Repetition increases retention.
For knowledge content, our CBLM format
recommends the use of self-checks and for skills,
you should provide a well structured task sheets,
operation sheets and job sheets.
As learners practice it is important to provide
timely
feedback on their performance. This feedback
needs to be specific, not, "you are doing a good
job" Tell them "why" they are doing a good job or
provide specific guidance on how they can
improve.
Your CBLM should provide answer keys to self-

will allow self-evaluation and peer evaluation
which are immediate feedback to trainees
practice. The trainee should, however, give his
feedback to every performance of the trainee
based on the assessment criteria.
On completion of learning activities learners
should be given the opportunity for assessment.
Learners should be encouraged to plan the
application of the learning and to consider how to
maintain competence into the future. They may
also be encouraged to review the learning process
they have just completed.
For every competency, there should be an
opportunity to integrate tasks learned in all
Learning Outcomes of the competency.
Job
Sheets with different conditions should be
developed to give the trainee an opportunity to
shift or adjust as the condition changes.
Dimensions of competency
The CBLM should provide for the acquisition of the four (4)
dimensions of competency - task skills, task management skills, job role and
environment management skills and contingency management skills.
Sometimes learning materials focus on the task skills and task management
skills. Job role and environment management skills are hardly integrated
except when discussing the occupational health and safety practices. When
you develop your material, be sure to integrate activities that would make
the trainee realize responsibilities towards customer, employer, co-worker
and most specially the environment. When discussing rules and regulations
and laws that govern the occupation or job, instructional materials should
provide activities that will help them learn to adjust to different situations or
conditions of the job.

Instruction Sheets
Learning Objectives: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST
be able to:
1. identify the types of instruction sheet in a CBLM;
2. discuss guidelines in developing the instruction sheet;
Preliminary pages of the CBLM discussed in previous information
sheets summarize the contents of the materials. In this lesson, we shall be
discussing the main pages of the CBLM called the instruction sheets.
In our efforts to standardize the format of the instruction sheets, we
will discuss the contents and format in this lesson. Guidelines and tips in
writing the instruction sheets will help you improve your writing skills.
Types of Instruction Sheets
Since instruction sheet is designed to guide the trainee on the
different things to be done to learn a unit of competency, different
instruction sheets will be required for different learning activities.
1. Information Sheet
2. Task Sheet
3. Operation Sheet
4. Job Sheet
We will discuss these sheets in detail as go on.
Guidelines in Developing Instructions Sheet
Use language that is straight forward and is easily understood by the

trainees for whom the material is intended. Define new terms, and do
not use words or phrases that are unusual or ambiguous.
Supplement the words with illustrations, pictures and diagrams for

greater clarity.
Give specific directions that are clear and concise. Carefully think
through the sequence of directions.
Limit each instruction sheet to one to ten sheets of paper if possible,

but avoid overcrowding the page.
Separate the various items, points, or paragraphs by spacing, by

numbers, letters or bullets.
Develop a uniform format for all instruction sheets so trainees can

easily find the desired information. Space the various divisions of the

sheet such as title, purpose, illustrations and text to produce an

easily to read and attractive documents.
Using underlining to emphasize or to distinguish between headings,

subheadings, and content.
Be consistent in the use of terminology to avoid confusion.
Include only relevant information. Avoid filling the sheet with

irrelevant or unnecessary information, no matter how fascinating it
may seem.
Information Sheet
Information sheet is not a copy or duplicate of an article from
magazine, newspaper or book. An information sheet is developed when
there are no resources available to explain the required information or to
summarize an article that illustrate new trends and technology and present
hard-to-find data. An information sheet is primarily designed to deliver
pertinent information needed in the attainment of a learning outcome.
A good information sheet has the following characteristics or conforms to
the following criteria:
1. Free from violation of copyright law
2. Contains information essential to the attainment of the learning
outcomes
3. Has a title that gives some idea of the coverage of the sheet
4. Approach in terms of content and presentation is appropriate to the
interest and reading level of the learner
5. The layout, text and drawings are attractive in appearance and legible
6. Has uncommon terms marked for further defining
7. Has acknowledgement per copied part of the sheet
Tips in writing Information Sheets
1. Make sure that the reading level matches that of your trainees
2. Use short paragraphs
3. Use short, concise sentences
4. Position illustrations to the side or just below the sentences referring
to the illustrations
5. Keep information sheet brief

Overview
Body/Text
1. Learning Objectives:
Statements about what a trainee will gain from a course or activity.
These are specific statements about exactly what a trainee should know, be
able to do, or value as a result of accomplishing a learning goal.
Since the information sheet is more on the acquisition of knowledge
related to the main task/skill to be mastered, learning objectives for the
information sheets should be kept on a knowledge level.

Guidelines for preparing Learning Objectives:

The following guidelines are provided to assist in the development of
appropriate learning objectives for a proposed educational experience:
Step 1.
Describe the information, skills, behaviors, or perspectives

trainees in the session will acquire through attendance and
participation.
Step 2.
Clearly identify the outcomes or actions trainees can expect to

demonstrate as a result of the educational experiences. See the
action words below.
Step 3.
Write the learning objectives that relate to these outcomes and

that reflect the content of the session. Objectives describe the
behavior of the trainee, and:
are stated clearly
define or describe an action
are measurable, in terms of time, space, amount, and/or
frequency.
Example of Measurable Action Words:

Explain, Compare, Evaluate, Differentiate, Identify, Analyze,
Describe, Formulate, Name, Define, Discuss, Assess, List
Note: Avoid the following action words: know, understand, learn and other
verbs that are too broad.
Make learning objectives SMART
Performance objectives should be SMART;
Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time Bounded.
that
is,
Specific,
Specific - Performance objectives must be very clear and detailed enough so

as to leave no room for ambiguity or misinterpretation.
Measurable - Always use a verifiable verb and describe an action that can
be seen and measured.
Achievable - Performance objectives should always be attainable.
Relevant - Performance objectives should be relevant to the performer
they should relate to the objectives that matter to that person.

Time bounded - Performance objectives are more effective if they are to be

achieved within a defined time frame.
2. The Introduction/Overview
The paragraph after the objective should be the overview or recall
and rejoinder statements. This provides the key concepts and allows you to
gain the interest of the learner from the beginning. Statements that contain
the following should be included:
1. how the topic/information will contribute to attainment of the main
skill to be mastered.
2. the connection between previous content to the current content and
the next content.
3. The Body/Text
The body of the CBLM should be the development of the lesson or the
content. It is not purely a statement of facts but it should be developing the
content in a way that will help trainees memorize facts, definition and
functions; analyze associations and connections to the other concepts; and
in some situations providing an opportunity for trainees to explore their
underpinning values and beliefs.

4. Self-checks
Self-checks are sets of questions that would verify the acquisition of
knowledge stated in the learning objectives. There is no prescribed number
of items nor type of test for self-check. Number of items depends on the
content of the information sheet.
5. Answer Keys
Answer keys are essential feedback tools. Answer keys should always
follow a self-check so that a trainee can check his own answers immediately.
This allows for immediate feedback.
Other Instruction Sheets
Aside from the instructional sheets considered in the previous
discussions, the following instructional sheets maybe used to further
practice the learning contents or skills.
These instructional sheets,
although not required, maybe used to enhance the attainment of required
competencies or to allow trainees to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes
beyond the required competencies.
1. Assignment Sheet
This instruction sheet guides the trainee with respect to what
additional activity needs to be performed in order to master what has been
learned in the information, operation, or job sheet. The assignment may
include problems to be solved, questions to be answered, observations to be
made, readings to be done, or duties to be performed. This may include jobs
that cannot be completed within the training duration but when done,

greatly improves the skills of the trainees (e.g. research on consequences of

improperly joined wires).
2. Experiment Sheet
This is used to aid the trainee in performing tests or trial problems to
demonstrate scientific principles.
3. Project Planning Sheet
This instruction sheet is prepared by the trainee himself before the
project is built or put into operation. It contains the purpose, background,
and specification of the project and sometimes short term and long term
plans (e.g. install wiring in a residential area)
4. Worksheet
This is a printed form that is filled out by the trainee in the process of
gathering data or solving problems.

Task Sheet
Learning Objectives: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST
be able to:
1. define a task sheet;
2. differentiate a task sheet from an Operation Sheet;
3. differentiate a task sheet from a Job Sheet;
The information sheet contains information and learning activities
that are needed for the acquisition of knowledge contents.
Learning
activities for the acquisition of skills would need step procedures which a
trainee could follow to attain specific task/skill.
In this lesson, we will look at how the task sheet is structured so that
a trainee can easily follow procedures and can practice on his own with
minimal assistance from the trainer.
Task Sheets, Operation Sheets and Job Sheets
The task sheet is a set of instructions telling the trainee to perform a
single task. An operation sheet is a set of instructions for the operation or
use of a particular machine or equipment.
A Job Sheet is a set of instructions for the performance of a Job. A
job is a combination of tasks and/or operations needed in to develop a
product or performance of a service or a combination of both.
Example:
Cleaning a check-out room is a Job. Tasks such as dusting, bed
making, bathroom cleaning and floor cleaning are tasks involved in
the Job. Operation of vacuum cleaner and floor polisher will be a
must when doing such a Job.
Task Sheets maybe developed to practice accessing the room, dusting,
bed making, bathroom cleaning and floor cleaning.
Operation Sheets for the use and operation of a vacuum cleaner and
floor polishers can be developed.
A Job sheet on cleaning a check-out room consolidates the tasks and
operations needed for the Job.
In training it may be necessary to slowly combine small tasks as you
develop Job Sheets to integrate previous skills learned to current
tasks. This will allow more practice of previously acquired skills to
enhance retention and transfer.

3. Performance Objectives are statements which identify the specific
knowledge, skill, or attitude the learner should gain and display as a
result of the learning activity. They have three elements.
Condition
o
Conditions are external factors, prerequisites, or other

requirements for completing the action described in a
performance objective.
The conditions clause of a performance objective typically
starts with the word Given, as in the example below:
Example:
1. Given a 3/4 torque wrench, you should be able to
tighten a spark plug
2. Given soiled clothes, you should be able to
classify
In the examples above the conditions are clear. You may give
varied conditions to allow your trainees to make adjustments as
conditions change.
Example:
In housekeeping:
1. Given a dirty occupied room, you should be able to
access the room
2. Given a dirty unoccupied room, you should
3. Given a checkout room, you should
The variations in condition will provide learning activities that
would help trainees learn their contingency management skills because
they would be exposed to different conditions in the job.

5. Steps/Procedure:
The step-by-step procedures for completing
the Task. Include, if appropriate, illustrations,
drawings, or diagrams to clarify the procedures. The
procedures should be detailed and easy to follow.
This will allow trainees to practice the steps on their
own with minimal assistance from you.
6. Assessment Method: This is a list of methods used in evaluating the
performance of the trainee on the particular
task.
Ex. Portfolio, demonstration, observation
When an output or project is required you may
use portfolio evaluation. Demonstration is that
method appropriate when you will ask the trainee to
perform the task as you evaluate him and
observation method is used when you observe the
performance of the skill in an actual job site.
7. Performance Criteria Checklist: This is the checklist that will give
immediate feedback on the performance of a trainee

OPERATION SHEET
be able to:
1. define an operation sheet;
2. differentiate operation sheet and task sheet.
Task sheet and operation sheets are instructional sheets that are used
in teaching and practicing basic skills for the mastery of a Job.
In this lesson, you will realize how operation sheets are useful in
practicing the operation of equipment or machines.
Operation Sheets
An operation sheet is a set of procedures on the use and maintenance
of an equipment or a machine. The procedures of an operation sheet will
greatly depend on the manufacturers manual since operation may vary from
brand to brand. The performance objective of an operation sheet should
then include the manufacturers manual as the basis of the criterion or
standard. This is used for teaching a single basic task, operation or process.
It usually includes the operation of tools, machine or equipment in doing a
task or job which involve following correct procedures and sequence. (e.g.
the job is creating different kind of wire joints, the operation is the
procedure in joining wires)
You should always develop an operation sheet for the brand of
machines or equipments existing in your workshop. Notes or information
about the basic operation of other brands may, however, be discussed as an
offshoot of your operation sheet so that your trainee will be able to adjust
when using other brands of the machine or equipment.
Guidelines in Operation Sheet Development
1. Describe or name the operation clearly.
2. Use the correct and accepted occupational and technical terminology.
3. List in proper order all the steps involved in performing the operation.
4. State the instructions in clear and concise language.
5. Use illustrations, diagrams or drawings to clarify the steps.
6. Indicate any critical points that are essential to the success of the
operation.
7. State the accepted criteria for evaluating the quality of the operation.
Note: The format follows the format of a Task Sheet.

2. differentiate Task sheets from Task Sheet and Operation Sheets.
In the previous lessons, you learned how to develop task sheets and
operation sheets. These are essential in the mastery of the skills of your
competency.
This information sheet guides you on how to integrate tasks and
operations in a Job Sheet.
Job Sheet
A Job Sheet integrates tasks and operations. When integrating
previously learned tasks and operations, you do not need to re-write the
specific steps of an operation or task. Your trainee is expected to learn tasks
and operations first before performing the Job Sheet.
Providing Job Sheets will help your trainee enhance, retain and
practice their knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Format
The format of a Task Sheet, Operation Sheet and the Job Sheet are
similar.

Information Sheet 1.4 -1

Learning Objective:
After INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. determine the objectives of an institutional competency evaluation;
2. identify the parts of an Institutional Competency Evaluation Tool
Evaluation is a very significant element of the teaching learning
process. This is done to verify the acquisition of knowledge, skills and
attitude needed acquired from the training.
As a trainer, it is a must that you know how to test or verify that
assessment criteria addressed during the training.
Institutional Competency Evaluation is the assessment of the
knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired from the training. In CBT,
evaluation is the systematic collection and analysis of data needed to make
decisions whether a trainee is competent or not yet competent.
The Institutional Competency Evaluation is administered by the
trainer within the training duration. Trainees should be evaluated every
after competency. No trainee should be allowed to transfer to another
competency without having been assessed.
For the purpose of CBT, assessments are usually given for the
following purposes:
1. To validate the current competencies of trainees
2. To measure how much trainees have learned in the training sessions
given
3. To help diagnose trainees problems and guide future instruction
4. To decide whether trainees are competent or not
The Institutional Competency Evaluation Tool
The competency evaluation tool should be carefully developed so that
it will be able to assess the four dimensions of competency such as the:
1. Task Skill
2. Task Management Skill
3. Job Role and Environment Management Skill
4. Contingency Management Skills

An analysis of the Modules of Instruction or the Competency

Standards is critical in the preparation of the assessment tool. Performance
criteria for the competency are the main basis for the competency
assessment. You should carefully examine your competency standards so
that these criteria are included as a part of the evidences to be gathered
during assessment.
Characteristics of Good Evaluation Tools
1. Reliability
This refers to consistency of scores by the same person when
re-examined with the same test on different occasion. Your test is
reliable if your test is consistent in testing what it is trying to test.
Factors that may affect Reliability
a) Length of the test the longer the test the higher the reliability.
b) Difficulty of the test the bigger the spread of the scores the more
reliable the measured difference is likely to be. Items should not be
too easy or too difficult.
c) Objectivity this is achieved if scores are independent of the
subjective judgment of individual examinees.
To increase the reliability of the written test we do item-analysis. That
is analyzing the degree of difficulty and the index of discrimination of the test
items. Standard written test items should not be too easy nor too difficult
and it should discriminate those who learned from those who did not learn
anything.
2. Validity
This is the degree to which the test actually measures what it
purports to measure. It provides a direct check on how well the test
fulfils its functions.
Factors that influence the validity of test:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Appropriateness of test items;

Directions;
Reading vocabulary and sentence structures
Difficulty of items;
Construction of test items no ambiguous items or leading
items;

f) Length of the test sufficient length;

g) Arrangement of items from easy to difficult; and
h) Patterns of answers no patterns
To ensure the validity of the evaluation tool, prepare an Evidence Plan
based on the CS. To increase the validity of the written test, you should
prepare a table of specifications.

Evidence Plan
1. explain the purpose of preparing an evidence plan;
2. determine the sources of the contents of the evidence plan;
3. identify methods appropriate for evaluating a performance criteria.
One essential part of the Competency-Based Training Delivery is the
institutional assessment. Assessment is the process of collecting evidence
and making judgments on whether competency has been achieved. The
purpose of assessment is to confirm that an individual can perform to the
standards expected in the workplace as expressed in the relevant
competency standards.
In this lesson you will learn how to prepare the evidence plan of your
competency.
The Evidence Plan
In developing evidence gathering tools for an institutional assessment,
the first stage is to prepare an evidence plan.
Evidence plans are designed to
Serve as a planning tool
Support the assessment process
Assist with the collection of evidence
Inform the learners of what is expected of them before they begin the
assessment
Serve as a guide for the trainer in determining the method of

assessment to be used
In making an Evidence Plan you should have the Competency

Standards (CS) of the chosen competency and the Evidence Plan Template.

1. Competency Standard this is the title of your qualification

2. Unit of Competency the institutional evaluation tool is packaged by
competency. The name of the competency is written in this portion.
3. Evidence Requirements the criteria for judging the competency of the
trainee. These are written in the competency standards. Critical aspects
of competency should be marked with an asterisk (*). Refer to the CS for
the identification of the critical aspects of competency.
4. Methods of Assessment the methods of collecting evidences per each
performance criteria. At least 2 methods of assessment should be chosen
for each criterion to allow for corroboration of evidences.
Knowledge, skills and attitudes and the four dimensions of
competency are to be assessed. To do this, the following methods are
recommended:
4.1
Written test to test the acquisition of knowledge
4.2
Performance test to test the demonstrated skills

4.2.1 Demonstration Method this is the method used when the
performance of a particular skill is to be assessed within
the workshop.
4.2.2 Observation method is used when the assessment is
done by observing the trainee on the actual job site while
the trainee is doing his job.
4.2.3 Portfolio evaluation is used when projects or outputs are
required to collect evidences of competency. In
Institutional Evaluation, we use the Performance Criteria
Checklist to evaluate the output/project.
4.3
Interview/questioning this is to verify evidences which are

not clearly demonstrated during performance test. This is also
the part of the competency evaluation where you can ask
questions to verify Job Role and Environment Management
Skills and Contingency Management Skills.

Table of Specification
Learning Objective:
4. define table of specification;
5. discuss the importance of preparing a table of specifications;
6. determine the parts of the table of specification; and
7. explain how the table specification is prepared.
The Evidence plan is a plan for the institutional evaluation tool. After
preparing the evidence plan, we are now ready to prepare for the
development of the other parts of the evaluation tool such as the written
test.
To ensure the validity of your test, you should prepare a table of
specification so that all contents to be tested have a representative question.
In this lesson, you will learn how the table of specification is prepared.
Table of Specifications
A table that shows what will be tested (taught) is the table of
specifications. For our purpose of institutional evaluation, we shall be
preparing a table of specifications for our written test. This will help us plan
how many items we need to prepare to cover all the contents or objectives
that we need to assess based on the evidence plan you previously prepared.
A table of specifications is a two-way table that matches the objectives
or content you have taught with the level at which you expect students to
perform. It contains an estimate of the percentage of the test to be allocated
to each topic at each level at which it is to be measured. In effect we have
established how much emphasis to give to each objective or topic.
Parts of the Table of Specification
1. Objectives/Content/Topic these are the content
2. Levels of learning your questions shall be divided into the levels
of learning: knowledge, comprehension and application.
o
Factual/Knowledge recognition and recall of facts

Example:
The figure 1 in the symbol E6013 signifies
A. Tensile strength
B. Welding position
C. Material thickness

We also have to take into account the type of thinking skills we

wish to assess. Whether you use Bloom's taxonomy or another structure,
the levels of learning can help you identify the types of questions (or other
type of assessment) that are appropriate. For ease of use we have used only
three levels: knowledge (recall or recognition), comprehension (or
understanding) and application (or skill), and labeled the columns
accordingly. The important thing is to use levels of thinking that are relevant
for your students and have been incorporated in your instruction. At this
stage it can be helpful to mark an "x" or make a check mark in the cells to
show the levels at which each objective will be measured, as shown in the
example below.

At this point we recognize that 25% of our test is to be on knowledge,

35% on comprehension, and 40% on application. This does not mean that
we must have 25 knowledge questions; it does mean that the score on the
test will reflect comprehension and application in equal amounts, and
knowledge to a lesser degree than knowledge or application.
It may be that at this point you want to compare the test(s) provided
by the textbook publisher with your completed table of specifications. If they
match and you think the questions are well written, you may decide to use
the test (or parts of the test) provided with the text. On the other hand, you
may find that it will be necessary for you to create a test to provide an
accurate assessment of what the students in your class have learned.
One question frequently asked is how many questions are needed to
adequately sample the content representing an objective or topic. Increasing
the number of questions increases the probability that we will have a good
estimate of what the learner knows and can do.
When translated to number of items per topic, the Table of
Specifications for a 40-item test may look like this:

Note: This is a sample. The number of items is not prescribed. The trainer should
decide on the number of items based on the contents of the competency.
For purposes of validating the current competencies of the trainees or

for identifying mastered contents, item placement maybe identified in the
Table of Specifications for easier analysis. At this point you also have to
decide how many questions are needed to measure learning, what type of
questions will be asked and whether a written assessment is sufficient to
measure the competency. In most cases, for skills training, performance
evaluation with interview maybe more appropriate as an assessment
instrument but the effectiveness of written assessment instruments maybe
harnessed through the ingenuity and skills of the trainer. If however, the
trainer decides for a performance evaluation, it should be reflected in the
evidence plan.

Written Test
After reading this Information Sheet, you must be able to
1. explain the advantage of preparing a reliable test item;
2. determine the type of test appropriate for testing knowledge
contents;
3. enumerate guidelines in preparing a written test.
Evaluation of competency should be assessing the knowledge, skills
and attitude. Written test is a method of assessment which can measure
knowledge, skills and attitude learned in a training program but sometimes
trainers fail to develop questions to test the level of skills and attitude.
In this lesson, we will discuss some tips and guidelines in preparing
the written test. The written test that you will write after this lesson should
follow the guidelines in preparing a test item.
In developing test items always consider the five (5) characteristics of
good test validity, reliability, objectivity, discrimination and ease of
administration and scoring.
As in the construction of a workable and functional project in shop
work, test construction should follow the same steps. In the construction of
a competency assessment instrument, the following steps are recommended:
1. Examine the established Training Regulations and determine your
objectives. This will help in the analysis of the basic skills and
knowledge requirements of the trade.
2. Construct the table of specifications. This will be your blue print in
constructing individual test items, it will serve as a guide in the
preparation of a set of competency assessment methodology for a
certain trade.
3. Construct test items more than the number required for a set of
Competency Assessment Instrument. This will facilitate item banking
and will give an allowance for correction when the test items will be
deliberated whereby some items might be deleted.
4. Assemble the items for the test. After grouping the items by type,
arrange them such that related items are together. The reason for this
is obvious, it saves examinee time as the test is taken and it will be
easier to point out where the examinee had failed. In assembling items
for the test the speciation table should be followed.
5. Write clear and concise directions for each type of questions. The
direction should tell the examinee what to do, how to do it and where

Page 210 of 251
to place the responses. They should also contain an example taken

from the subject matter being tested.
6. Study every aspect of the assembled test. After the test is assembled
and directions are written, it is a good policy to lay it aside for several
days, then pick it up again and review each part critically. Consider
each item from the point of view of the workers who will take the
competency assessment. Try to determine those items that are
ambiguous. Check the grammar and be sure that the words used will
be understood by the workers who will take the competency
assessment.
The written test that we shall prepare as a part of the institutional
assessment will largely measure the acquisition of knowledge. Skills and
attitude shall be measured using performance tests with questioning.
Guidelines for Teacher-Made Tests as to Format
1. Include easiest items first.
2. Group smaller items together, i.e. matching, completion, etc.
3. Put all of an item on the same page. Avoid splitting a matching
exercise or response to a multiple-choice question.
4. Number continuously.
5. Write clear, precise directions.
6. For ease of correcting, place blanks for responses to one side of the
paper, or use a separate answer sheet.
7. Avoid patterned responses in true-false, multiple choice, or matching
exercises.
8. Proofread the test carefully for clarity, errors, etc.
9. Make sure copies of the test are dark and legible.
Pointers in the formulation of test questions for written test
1. Keep in mind that it is not possible to measure all outcomes of
instruction with one type of test.
2. Devise your items so that they require the trainee to actually apply
things learned rather than merely recalling or recognizing facts.
3. Make certain that the type of the test items used for measuring each
objective is the one that will measure the objective.
4. Avoid tricky or catchy questions. Do not construct puzzling items in
which hidden meaning or subtle clues provide the correct answer.

5. Do not lift statements directly from the books and use them as test
items.
6. Check to make sure that no item can be answered simply by referring
to the other items. Make an item independent upon the answer of
another
7. Do not include an item for which the answer is obvious to a person
who does not know the subject matter.
8. Word the items in the simplest manner possible. Confine the items
used to the vocabulary level of the examinee. States questions clearly
and eliminate ambiguous items.
9. Arrange the items so that responses will not form a particular pattern.
Guidelines for Constructing Effective True-False Items
1. Use true-false items only when there is a clear-cut true or false
answer to the question.
2. Construct items that are entirely true or entirely false.
3. Avoid using specific determiners, i.e. never, always, generally
(Statements that include all or always are usually false, those
including sometimes are usually true.)
4. Rephrase textbook and lecture material rather than quoting it directly.
5. State items positively rather than negatively. If a negative is used,
underline words like NO or NOT.
6. Construct approximately equal numbers of true or false statements
and avoid setting up an answering pattern.
7. Avoid testing for trivial details.
8. If a controversial statement is used, quote the authority.
Guidelines for Constructing Effective Multiple Choice Items

1. Present a single definite concept in the stem.
2. Place all common wording in the stem.
3. Make the alternative grammatically consistent with the stem and with
each other.
4. Avoid verbal association between the stem and the correct
response(grammatical clues)
5. Construct items with a single best item.
6. Include four or five alternatives.
7. Make all choices plausible.

8. Arrange alternatives in a logical sequence.

9. Avoid using opposites or mutually exclusive alternatives.
10. Eliminate option length and specificity as clue to the correct
response. Make options of similar length.
11. Delete specific determiners from the alternatives.
12. Avoid using all of the above and none of the above unless these
are used in questions where all of the above and none of the above
are not desirable responses.
13. Avoid using opposite as possible answers.
14. Phrase stems positively unless emphasizing an exception. If desired
response is an exception to the question, underline except or not in
the question.
15. Vary the position of the correct answer in a random manner.

Performance Test
1. define performance evaluation;
2. differentiate the procedures of a Job Sheet from that of the instruction
for demonstration in an institutional competency evaluation.
Evaluation of competency covers knowledge, skills and attitudes. To
assess knowledge, we can use written test as a method of assessment but to
effectively assess the skills and attitudes acquired by the trainee in CBT, we
should use performance evaluation which will include a demonstration of
the skill and an interview to follow-up demonstration.
In this lesson, the format and structure of the prescribed performance
test shall be discussed to help you develop your own instructions for
demonstration.
Performance Evaluation

Performance evaluation is accompanied with interview questions

which are used during the actual conduct of the test. This is to support the
evidences gathered by the facilitator/trainer.
GUIDELINES IN FORMULATING PERFORMANCE TEST
This is the practical portion of the competency assessment
instrument. This part measures the skill possessed by the examinee in
relation to the occupation. It consists of General and Specific Instructions,
the List of Materials, Equipment/Tools and the Marking Sheets.
A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This refers to the overall conduct of the test (before, during and after)
which concerns both the testing officer and the examinee. This part of the
competency assessment specifies the does and donts inside the testing
area.
The format of general instructions include:

This contains also the complete
specifications of each item in the listing.
Pointers to follow in the construction/formulation of a good Test of
Skills:
1. The test coverage must be consistent with the job description and
skills requirements.
2. The test must not take more than 8 hours to complete.
3. the test statement must specify the exact time within which he
examinee is expected to finish task and the tools/equipment that will
be issued to the examinee.
4. The work performance/specimen or whatever is being tested must be
observable and measurable.
5. The test should be feasible. Do not design tests which makes use of
rare or too expensive equipment.
6. Where applicable there must be a working drawing which is clear and
accurate.
7. The standard performance outcome if possible, should be stated such
as surface finish, clearance or tolerance and number of allowable
errors.
8. Directions must be clear, simple, concise and accurate.

Questioning Tool
1. determine the purpose of the questioning tool;
2. enumerate the types of questions that are in the questioning tool.
3. explain how corroboration of evidences will be achieved using the
questioning tool.
Corroboration of evidences should be achieved when gathering
evidences of competency. In case evidences from the written test and the
performance test results are not enough to decide for the competency of a
trainee, the questioning tool should be used.
In this lesson, we shall discuss the structure of the questioning tool so
that it will help the trainer gather evidences of knowledge, skills and attitude
and the four dimensions of competency needed for the competency being
assessed.
Questioning Tool
The questioning tool is a must in an institutional competency
evaluation tool package. This will be used to verify evidences that were not
clearly demonstrated in the other methods of assessment such as in the
written test and the performance test.
The questioning tools should be able to evaluate the four dimensions
of competency. To be able to do this your questioning tool should contain
questions:
1. to follow-up the demonstration of task skills and task management
skills.
All possible questions should be written here. Although the trainer is
not required to ask questions that are already observed in the
demonstration of skills, you should write all possible questions so that
these questions are ready for use.
2. to verify OHS practices.
Safety practices are very important aspect of the demonstration. List
down questions on safety related to the competency being assessed.
Questions should concentrate on safety practices for the competency
being assessed.
3. to verify Job Role and Environment management skills.

Questions that will verify the responsibility of the worker towards his
customers, co-employee, employer and the environment are very
important because oftentimes this dimension of competency needs to
be verified using these questions. They are not demonstrated in most
demonstration test.
4. to gather evidences for contingency management skills.
Infrequent events may arise from the job that would need the worker
to adjust. These are the contingency management skills questions
that you need to construct to verify this dimension of the competency.
5. on knowledge of laws, rules and regulations.
Knowledge of Laws, rules and regulations critical to the job should
also be verified. Prepare questions to gather evidences for the specific
competency.

MUST be able to
1. identify learning resources for CBT;
2. classify learning resources;
3. check the availability of learning resources against TR requirements.
In planning your learning sessions, learning materials and resources
are very important. These will help you impart knowledge in a more effective
way. Learning resources and materials are directly related to methods of
learning you will be able to use in CBT.
In this lesson you will learn how to identify and monitor the
availability of needed resources for each competency of your qualification.

How will you gather and consolidate materials?

When gathering the needed materials and resources, it will be better if
you can prepare beforehand a list of all the needed resources that you will
use for a certain session or unit of competency. The list surely will identify
the specific resources, how many are available, how many are required for
the session and remarks.
Each group of resources should have a separate list; let us say for
print materials, it should have a checklist different from list for non-print
and so with the other types of resources. This system will ensure that all the
resources will be available when you conduct the training program.
The Inventory of Training Resources
The Training Regulations (TR) gives a guide on the training resources
needed for CBT of your qualification. The list of the training resources was
grouped as tools, equipment and materials.
An inventory of training resources by competency would be very
helpful in planning your workstations and your learning activities. Group
your resources by competency so that you can plan for the use resources
shared by 2 or more competencies (e.g. in housekeeping vacuum cleaner
and floor polisher are shared in provide housekeeping for guests and
clean premises).
The inventory would help you decide which mock-ups, simulators or
workstation can be duplicated to accommodate more trainees practicing
particular skills.
The inventory will help you in many ways: 1) it will serve as
of resources that need to be replenished, repaired or purchased;
the supplies and materials needed in a year; 3) plan the use of
shared among competencies; and 4) serves as the basis for
requests and annual procurement plan.

Workshop Layout
Learning Objective:
1. enumerate components of a CBT facility;
2. explain the characteristics of a good workshop layout;
A good understanding of every aspect of competency-based training is
a must for every trainer who will use this training modality. Let us now
study one of the important aspects of competency based training delivery,
the competency-based training workshop.
In this lesson, the principles behind the arrangement or layout of a
good workshop will be discussed so that it will help you plan for the layout
of your learning resources and areas.
Workshop Layout
In CBT, this is a well organized physical learning environment. A well
organized and managed workshop is critical to the acquisition of skills.
When planning to layout your shop, consider the following principles
of CBT:
1. Training materials are directly related to the competency
standards and the curriculum.
Your workshop should more or less mimic the equipment that are
in the industry. It should be able to provide for the practice of the
trainees on competencies of the job.
Selection of learning resources in CBT is based solely on the
competencies of the qualification. Competencies should dictate the
learning resources to be laid out, not the other way around.
Availability of learning resources should not dictate the
competencies to be achieved.
There is no need to provide one piece of equipment, tool, instrument,
or other resource per trainee.

2. Training delivery is individualized and self-paced.

In CBT, the trainees learn at their own pace. Your workshop
layout must provide for this principle. In conventional training
programs it is the trainer who is using the materials as he lectures
and demonstrates skills as trainees sit or stand, watch or listen
passively. The focus of the layout is providing individuals or small
groups with high-quality learning materials that provide for
individualized training. The components of the workshops should,
therefore, be layed out in such a way that trainees will be able to
use the learning resources individually. A lecture room is not
necessary.
Trainee may not have same training needs even within the same
qualification, trainees would be not be working on the same
competency.
Trainees should be given sufficient learning time to perform the
competency successfully. The workshop should provide for trainees
working on the different competencies in one given time.
3. The system allows for learners to enter and exit programs at
different times and levels and to receive an award for
competencies attained at any point.
Multiple starting points is allowed in CBT. Depending on the prior
learning of the trainee, he may start learning any competency of
the qualification. Your workshop layout must allow any trainee to
transfer from one competency to another after passing the
institutional competency evaluation.
A trainer would tend to go back to his conventional shop arrangement.
To avoid this, you may consider the following differences between
conventional workshop arrangements and that of a CBT workshop layout.

For competency-based training, your trainees have to master all the

required competencies of their training qualification. For this reason, TESDA
has identified the different components of competency-based training
facilities.
The different components or areas of a competency-based facility are:
1. Practical Work Area - This area is where the learner acquires the
skills and knowledge components of the competencies prescribed by
the standard. This area must be subdivided into work stations, which
are arranged in order according to hierarchy of competencies, such as
work stations for auto electrical, for engine overhauling, etc.
2. Learning resource area - This area is proximate to the heart - the
practical work area. This area provides the learner with the knowledge
requirements in the various modules responding to the competencies.
It is a place where projects can be planned and self-paced learning is
based. This area has an array of learning materials in print or softcopies for a multimedia environment.
3. Institutional assessment area - It is located very proximate to the
practical work area. This is where Recognition of Prior Learning is
done by the trainer. This component also provides the mechanism of
assessing the completion of competencies of a learner. Upon
completion of all modules within a competency, the trainee is handed
a Certificate of Achievement by the institution. This facility is provided
with a computer system that houses and manages learners individual
records. The skills assessment is conducted at the practical work
area.
4. Contextual Learning Laboratory - This facility ensures that the
underpinning knowledge, science, mathematics and communication
principles as applied to the technology are provided to the learner.
5. Quality Control Area - Various tests aside from metrology and
calibration are conducted in this area including in-process quality
control.
6. Trainers Resource Center - This area houses the learning materials,
the training regulations and curriculum exemplars. This is, also, the
place where instructors produce courseware or training materials.
7. Distance Learning - One major issue of TVET is accessibility. This is
the major objective of this component enhance accessibility of TVET.
This is to enable the learning provision outside and away from the
training institution in terms of print and non-print media.

8. Computer Laboratory - This area depicts the major physical change

in the delivery the use of Information Technology. This laboratory
has an array of computer units of which learners are provided for
them to learn and gain appropriate IT competencies that may include
Word, Excel even Desktop Publishing as may be prescribed in the
competency standard and curriculum.
9. Support Service Area - This area provides value-adding competencies
as such for Automotive Service Technician NC II, welding competency
address underpinning skills in the particular competency.
These different CBT areas are being presented to you, in order for you
to convert and prepare your traditional workshops into CBT workshops.
This is one of the requirements before introducing CBT in your institution.
On the other hand, you must have a good grasp of the different
activities to be undertaken in each area, for you must orient your learners
on these different areas before their formal training starts or they will be at a
loss.
Characteristics of a good workshop layout
1. Safe a safe learning environment is one of the most important
considerations a trainer should consider in every layout. Remember
that a CBT layout should allow trainees on their own.
2. Accessible a good layout provides for a circulation area both for the
trainer and trainee. If possible, divisions or partitions are limited to
reduce obstruction to the sight of the trainer as the training is going
on. Layout your work stations to allow easy monitoring.
3. Complete components layout the nine components of CBT
prescribed by TESDA. Depending on the functionality of the
components in your qualification, layout related components next to
each other (e.g. learning resource area, contextual area and distance
learning area).
4. Aligned with the competencies of the qualification workstations such
as mock-ups should mimic those of the industry where your
competencies are directly related. Each competency should have at
least one workstation for you to be able do CBT.
5. Well-sequenced workstations that are sequenced from simple to
complex tasks is recommended. Within a competencys workstation,
activities that will practice small tasks to achieve the main skill to be
mastered should be provided for.

Depending on what is being delivered, the training environment may

vary quite a lot, from a workstation to an onsite location, outdoors, indoors
or in several locations. You should, always, ensure that all learners have
access to a safe environment and are trained appropriately.
Some qualifications may have workstations that are impossible to setup inside a building such as in the case of agriculture related qualifications
and those of the construction sector. In these cases, however, some skills or
tasks maybe practiced inside a workstation. A corresponding work area
should therefore be set-up so that these tasks will be practiced by trainees
before going to the worksite outside the workstation/laboratory.
The Training Regulations
To ensure a quality CBT, the Training Regulations promulgated by
TESDA for every qualification provides a list of Tools, Equipment and
Materials and Training Facilities based on 25 trainees. Space requirement
is, also suggested for the different areas or components of CBT. This is a
good benchmark when laying out your workshop.

The Philippine TVET Trainers -Assessors Qualification

Framework
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
1. Technical Education and Skills Development Authoritys (TESDAs)
mandate is to manage and supervise technical education and skills
development in the Philippines. As part of this mandate, TESDA
uses competency assessment and certification as both the means
and the end of competency and skills development.
2. TESDAs vision is being the leading partner in the development of
the Filipino workforce with world-class competence and positive
work values.
3. In the performance of its mandate and the pursuit of its vision,
TESDA supervises more than 4,500 Technical Vocational
Institutions consisting of 4,148 private TVET Institutions, 365
Public Schools and Training Centers, 822 enterprises providing
learnership and apprenticeship programs and 126 TESDA
Technology Institutions.
4. The Technical Vocational Institutions employ more than 23,000
Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Trainers
covering 215 qualifications.
5. Given the enormous number of Technical Training Institutions,
TVET Trainers and the diversity of their coverage, TESDA
endeavored to ensure consistent delivery of quality training
services across the country through the implementation of the
National TVET Trainers-Assessors Qualification Program (NTTAQP)
in 2006. This Program aims to qualify and certify the current pool
of technical trainers-assessors to ensure their competence in trade
qualifications, and training and assessment methodologies.
Objectives:
Over-all Objectives:
To ensure consistent delivery of quality technical-vocational
education and training services through the training, assessment,
qualification and creation of a pool of technical trainers-assessors
competent in trade qualifications and training and assessment
methodologies.
Objectives for TESDA:
1. Specify the competency standards of TVET Trainers given
different roles and qualification levels.
2. Establish a structure that will ensure the systematic and

purposive development of TVET Trainers.
3. Certify the competence of TVET Trainers at different roles and
levels of technical training.
Objectives for TVET Trainers:
1. Enumerate the competency requirements
qualification levels of TVET Trainers.
at
different
2. Be motivated to pursue continuous self-development in

competencies related to the competency requirements at various
qualification levels of the technical-vocational education and
training.
3. Demonstrate and be certified on the required competencies of a
given qualification level prior to performing role specific to that
level.
TVET Trainer
A TVET Trainer is a professional who enables a learner or a group
of learners to develop competencies to performing a particular
trade or technical work. Towards this end, a TVET Trainer may
assume various roles such as training facilitator, competency
assessor, training designer and developer and training supervisor.
Coverage:
1. Targets all TVET Trainers of With Training Regulation (WTR)
registered programs such as those in the private TVET Institutions,
Public Schools and Training Centers, enterprises providing
learnership and apprenticeship programs and TESDA Technology
Institutions
2. Includes definition of qualification, competency standards,
curriculum, training standards, and assessment and certification
procedures
3. Competency standards based on the functions of training delivery,
competency assessment, training design/development and training
supervision.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
1. Learning is defined as a change in the individual that is not
attributable to biological changes. Such change is manifest in
terms of behaviors that is observable and measurable. Learning
outcomes are therefore measurable and can be assessed against
established standards. The ability to achieve consistent learning
outcomes is indicative of training effectiveness.
2. For learning to be effective in the workplace, there must be an
alignment of the organizations business/institutional needs,
performance needs, capability needs and environmental needs
(Blanchard, Robinson and Robinson). This implies that addressing
the capability needs through workplace learning must be anchored

on the performance that will enable achievement of the
organizations over-all needs and objectives. Likewise, learning
interventions must be based on environmental infrastructures and
support systems to enable application of learning in the workplace.
3. There are several concepts and principles that enable effective
learning such as the adult learning principle (Knowles),
constructivism, information theory, multiple intelligences, whole
brain approach, etc. Facilitators of adult learners must be wellversed in the appropriate learning concepts, principles and theories
to be able to apply the appropriate methodologies that will be
effective in various learning situations and learner profile and to
ensure consistent delivery of learning outcomes that enable
performance improvements.
4. The training cycle consists of: training needs analysis; training
design and development; training delivery (training administration
and facilitation); and, training evaluation.
All these training
functions, including the management of these functions, contribute
to training effectiveness. Trainers need to perform various roles and
be competent in the function of such roles.
5. There are three domains of learning outcomes: cognitive,
and psychomotor skills (Bloom). To be effective, the
interventions must consider these three domains as the
the training process and as the basis for assessing
outcomes.
affective
learning
goals of
learning
6. There is a zone of proximal development which implies that

learning occurs just above the learners current competency
(Vygotsky).
Scaffolding, or step-by-step approach, facilitates
learning and development. Knowledge, skills and prior experience
provide the foundation for the scaffolding. The zone of proximal
development also implies that the learner must work with a more
capable person or the more knowledgeable other to learn
effectively.
7. To facilitate the acquisition of competencies effectively, trainers
must be a specialist in the area of competency being facilitated.
However, as the trainer assumes broader responsibilities,
particularly through the exercise of management responsibilities,
there is a need for said trainer to be a specialist and a generalist at
the same time.
8. Learning is not always facilitated by an individual. Team teaching
enables holistic development through the pooled expertise of two or
more facilitators.
Team teaching likewise enables trainer
development as the junior trainers learn from the more senior
trainers.
9. Learning is a lifelong process that is acquired through formal and
non-formal education as well as from personal experiences and
exposure. Formal education has its equivalence in terms of both

non-formal education and personal experiences, which can be
measured and validated in terms of acquired competencies.
10. The delivery of training should adhere to the design of the
curriculum. Delivery shall be guided by the 10 basic principles of
competency-based TVET:
a. The training shall be based on curriculum developed from the
competency standards;
b. Learning is modular in its structure;
c. Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate
individualized and self-paced learning strategies;
d. Training is based on work that must be performed;
e. Training materials are directly related to the competency
standards and the curriculum modules;
f. Assessment is based on the collection of evidence of the
performance of the work to the industry standard;
g. Training is based both on and off-the-job components;
h. Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL)
or current competencies;
i. Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and,
j. Training programs are nationally accredited.
QUALIFICATION FRAMEWORK:
General Guidelines
1. The Framework shall consist of four (4) levels corresponding to the
different roles assumed by trainers.
These are: Trainer
Qualification Level I for Trainer/Assessors; Trainer Qualification
Level II for Training Designers/Developers; Trainer Qualification
Level III for Training Supervisors and Mentors; and, Training Level
IV for Master Trainer.
2. Those being certified in Levels I and II must be specialists in the
areas of competencies they will facilitate while those being certified
in Levels III and IV must be both specialists and generalists.
3. The trainer curriculum specified in this program is an enabler and
is intended to facilitate trainer development through the various
qualification levels.
Taking the various courses under the
curriculum is not a strict requirement as the trainer may acquire
the required competencies through other means.
4. While there is an implied progression in the qualification levels,
any trainer who feels competent and qualified for a particular level
may, without necessarily being certified in the previous levels,
apply for assessment and certification for that level, provided that
the levels entry requirements for certification has been satisfied.
5. The educational requirement as entry requirement for certification
may be waived through demonstration of the following equivalent
competencies:
a. Bachelors Degree
i. Oral and written English communication
ii. Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis
iii. Verbal Reasoning
b. Masteral Degree
i. Leadership
