Competency Field
Coordination, Management and Quality
Application of the Unit
Evaluation represents a critical function that forms part of the quality management of the training and/or assessment services provided by a training and/or assessment organisation (refer to the Range Statement for a definition). Evaluation can be carried out as a separate and complete activity focusing on an area of risk or need.
Evaluation is also an integral part of many work activities and therefore forms part of the competencecompetency of many units represented in the TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package.
In this unit, evaluation represents a discrete competency carried out across a specific area of the organisation's training and/or assessment services. Examples might include evaluation of the delivery and assessment for a whole Training Package, or for qualification/s within a Training Package or for a program area, or an evaluation of system components such as evaluation of the training records management system or assessment system.
Evaluation of training and/or assessment services/systems in this context is a systematic and objective process measured against specified criteria using established evaluation methods. The focus of the evaluation may include aspects such as risk, quality/quality improvement, professionalism, efficiency, client satisfaction and compliance with legal requirements. It may take the form of an audit (compliance evaluation), self--assessment process, benchmarking or client foclient-focused evaluation. Evaluation is a critical component of registration requirements under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF).
This unit is designed to address the competencecompetency of evaluation of training and/or assessment services and systems by both internal and external evaluators. It is particularly applicable where evaluation/auditing forms only part of a person's work responsibilities.
Where auditing is the main work function, the required competencies are addressed in the following units in the BSB01 Business Services Training Package:
· BSBAUD501A Initiate a quality audit
· BSBAUD502A Prepare to lead a quality audit
· BSBAUD503A Lead a quality audit
· BSBAUD504A Report on a quality audit
This unit applies to persons in a training and/or assessment leadership, coordination, consultancy or management position.

Display Unit
- Reconstruct the unit from the database and display it as a plain HTML page.
CLOSE
This has several advantages over the cut-and-paste from PDF option, in that hard carriage returns are removed, and multi-column data is stored in tables. You do miss out on some formatting, but the data is otherwise mostly unchanged, the main difference being that terms and definitions in the range statement's variable/scope list displayed are in alphabetical order here (but not in the original).
- ?Training O2 Resources
- community submitted and rated resources for the unit
CLOSE
A social news gathering site built around training package units. Students and trainers can submit links to on-line resources which will be voted on by other site users; commented on, and promoted (or not) depending on the resource's usefulness.
- ?TiddlyWiki
- Chose 'Save file as...' from the popup and get a personal, stand-alone student journal for the unit.
CLOSE
This link will prompt you to download a TiddlyWiki for the unit. If you're not sure what a wiki is, the wikipedia is a good example, and it has a good entry on wikis too. TiddlyWikis are special cases of wikis in that they can be saved and edited on a local drive. You will need to save the TiddlyWiki onto your hard drive, and if you're using Internet Explorer, you'll need to allow JavaScript to run for the file (Firefox, Opera and Safari users shouldn't have this trouble).
- ?Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment
CLOSE
This link will create a csv file that can be opened with a spreadsheet application. It lists all the performance criteria and includes some calculations for a final grade. Without any indication of weighting for each criteria in the training package, I've had to allocate each an equal mark. You may need to adjust this :-)
- ?Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for individual students to fill in
CLOSE
This will generate a simple html page with a table for students to enter details of evidence they would like assessed as meeting the unit's performance criteria. You can copy this page into a word processor or print it out from your web browser for each student.
- ?Keywords
- a tag cloud of the keywords for the unit with links to on-line resouces for each word
CLOSE
A machine generated list of links to resouces that may be useful when teaching this unit. Includes links to creative commons licensed images, wikipedia articles, and sites listed on del.icio.us
- ?XML
- pick up an XML version of the unit that will allow you to generate stuff directly from the data (like your own assessment templates and evidence sheets)
CLOSE
This link will upload an XML representation of the unit. This should allow you to extract and use the information in a flexible manner, dropping the bits and pieces in where you need them.
I hope the tags are self explanatory, but drop me a line if you're having problems. I'd also love to see any novel new uses people come up with (and if you write a bit of PHP, a schema, DTD or XSLT to manipulate the data please send it to me so that I can include it here)
- ?MediaWiki and WikiSpaces formats
- mark up the unit in a wiki format, ready to paste into the wikiversity or wikispaces
CLOSE
These links will create wikimedia and wikispaces versions of the unit. This should allow you to cut and paste the information into any wikimedia type wiki, such as the wikipedia or wikiversity or a wikispaces wiki.
