Lesson 1: Who is Trainer and/or Assessor? Session Objectives At the end of the session, you should be able to:  Distinguish a trainer from an assessor  Determine roles of trainer and/or assessor in assuring quality technical-vocational courses Introduction Plan Training Session is one of the six competencies to be mastered in Trainers Methodology I (TM I). But before we focus on planning, let us have an overview of the whole training program. In this lesson, you will learn the role as trainer or assessor. As a trainer or assessor, you need to know what and how to teach, and how to work effectively with others. We look forward to see you competent enough as you study this course. Trainee’s Entry Requirements It is expected that you will be a Trainer and/or Assessor as you finish this course, Trainers Methodology I (TM I). What is a TVET Trainer? 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, developer or training supervisor 1. What is a Trainer / Assessor? From the Training Regulation, a Trainer is a person who enables group of learners to develop competencies toward performing a particular trade or technical work while an Assessor is an individual accredited and authorized to evaluate or assess competencies of a candidate applying for certification or any one of the purpose of assessment. Trainer/Assessor is at least NC II holder and who has achieved all the required units of competency identified in the Trainers Methodology Level I (TM Level I) under the PTTQF. He is also a holder of National TVET Trainer Certificate Level I (NTTC I) 2. A Trainer is an Assessor; an Assessor is a Trainer 3. To qualify for this course, a candidate or trainee must satisfy the following requirements:  Graduate of baccalaureate degree or equivalent in training or experience along the field of Technical Vocational Education and Training  Certified at the same or higher NC Level in the qualification that will be handled (for technical trainers)  Able to communicate orally and in writing  Physically fit and mentally healthy  Proficient in quantitative and qualitative analysis

Lesson 2: Competencies of a Trainer and/or Assessor Session Objectives At the end of the session, you should be able to:  Determine the skills and knowledge that a trainer or assessor should have  Explain required skills as a trainer and or assessor Introduction As you progress through this lesson, you should keep in mind the skills and knowledge required to become a competent trainer. Remember that awareness of your skills and capabilities will help you make informed choices. Basic and Core Competencies Listed are the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required of Trainers Methodology (TM) Lev I 1: Basic Competencies (or skills and knowledge that everyone needs for work):  Lead workplace Communication  Apply math and science principles in technical training  Apply environmental principles and advocate conservation  Utilize IT applications in technical training  Lead small teams  Apply work ethics, values and quality principles  Work effectively in vocational education and training  Foster and promote a learning culture  Ensure a healthy and safe learning environment  Maintain and enhance professional practice  Develop and promote appreciation for cost-benefits of technical training  Develop and promote global understanding of labor market Core Competencies (or specific skills and knowledge needed in TM1):  Plan training sessions  Facilitate learning sessions  Supervise work-based learning  Conduct competency assessment  Maintain training facilities  Utilize electronic media in facilitating training 1 Training Regulation Framework

Lesson 3: Competency-Based Training Session Objectives At the end of the session, you should be able to:

TRAINERS METHODOLOGY I   

Define commonly used Competency-Based Training terminologies Explain ten principles of Competency-Based Training Differentiate traditional education with Competency-Based Training



Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is the acknowledgement of an individual’s skills, knowledge and attitudes gained from life and work experiences outside registered training programs 7.



Qualification is cluster of units of competency that meets job roles and is significant in the workplace. It is also a certification awarded to a person on successful completion of a course and/or in recognition of having demonstrated competencies relevant to an industry 7.

Introduction Getting the idea on structure and principles embedded in training is important before designing a session plan. Do you know how to teach a Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program? That will be the focus of today’s lesson. The framework in teaching skill-based lesson is called Competency Based Training (or CBT). It focuses on skills development that is why its approach differs from the traditional education. In traditional education, the teacher controls the environment (or called teacher-centered approach); while in CBT, the learners control and manipulate the tools and equipments with the guide of a teacher (also known as student-centered approach). In addition to that, learners are not compared among each other, instead their skills are compared against the norms or standard set by the industry. The training is also self-paced; an example of this is when the trainer allows the students to study the materials & practice the skill on their own. Lastly, the focus of CBT is on the outcome or the end product.

It has three components: I. Basic Competency – skills and knowledge that everyone needs for work II. Common Competency – skills and knowledge needed by people working in a particular industry III. Core Competency – specific skills and knowledge needed in a particular area of work-industry sector/occupation/job role o

CBT Terminologies The need to understand commonly used terminologies is important before starting this courseware. Comprehending these terminologies will empower you to understand easily the next lessons.  Knowledge is the cognitive representation of ideas, events, activities or tasks derived from practical or professional experience as well as from formal instruction or study, e.g. memory, understanding, analysis 1. 

Skill refers to the acquired and practiced ability to carry out a task or job 2.



Competency, as used in TESDA, is a) the application of knowledge, skills and attitude required to complete a work activities to the standard expected in the workplace 3; or b) the possession and application of knowledge, skills and attitudes to the standard of performance required in the workplace 4.

II.

The 4 dimensions of competency that describes aspect of work performance are 5: I. Task Skills – undertaking a specific workplace task II. Task Management Skills – managing a number of different tasks to complete the entire work activity III. Contingency Management Skills – responding to problems, irregularities and breakdown in routine when undertaking the work activity IV. Job/Role Environment Skills – dealing with the responsibilities and expectations of the work environment when undertaking a work activity 

Competency Standard are industry-determined specification of competencies required for effective work performance. They are expressed as outcomes and they focus on work place activity rather than training or personal attributes, and capture the ability to apply skills in new situations and changing work organization 6.

Competency-Based Training (CBT) is a system by which the student is trained on the basis of demonstrated ability rather than on that of 7 elapsed time . CBT includes: Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is the specification for a course or subject (module) which describes all the learning experience a student or learner undergoes. It specifies outcomes which are consistent with the requirements of the workplace as agreed through industry or community consultations.8 Competency-Based Learning Material (CBLM) refers to the print and non-print instructional media used as guide in learning workplace activities.

Delivery of Competency-Based Training (CBT) The flow of CBT differs from the traditional education approach. To see the big picture is important before planning a session plan. Below is the CBT delivery framework: 1. Trainee enters the program. Trainer conducts pre-training assessment to identify learner’s training needs. Orientation of CBT program on Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and roles of trainer & trainee follows. 2. Trainee selects competency from the identified training needs and receives instruction from the trainer. The trainer administers learning contract or agreement between him

TRAINERS METHODOLOGY I and his trainees, then provides CBLM materials and introduces the use of progress and achievement chart. 3.

With the selected competency, the trainee studies the module by doing the following learning activities (in any order): review learning package, view multimedia materials, use manuals, observe demonstration, practice skills in workshop, and receive assistance and advice.

4.

While the trainee practices the skill, the trainer observes and records the performance on the Progress Chart. Student will attempt the task until he masters the skill with the help of trainer’s immediate and constructive feedback.

Ten (10) Principles of CBT Competency-Based Training delivery anchors in its principles. These ten (10) principles of CBT serves as ground rules for trainers and trainees. Memorize, apply and promulgate the listed principles below:  Principle One: The training is based on curriculum (CBC) developed from the competency standards (CS).  Principle Two: Learning is competency based or modular in structure.  Principle Three: Training delivery is individualized and self-paced.  Principle Four: Training is based on work that must be performed.

Once the trainee determines by himself that he is competent to do the skill, he will call the attention of trainer. The trainer will observe and rate the performance based on the Performance Criteria Checklist and will record the result on the Achievement Chart. If the skill is satisfactorily performed, he will then select another unit of competency. If the skill is not satisfactorily performed, the trainee will study again the module.

 Principle Five: Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the curriculum modules.

To exit the training program, trainee must satisfactorily perform the skill and must have enough units of competencies (or has completed all the modules). If the trainee doesn’t have enough units of competencies, he will then select another unit of

 Principle Seven: Training is based both on and off the job components.

 Principle Six: Assessment is based in the collection of evidences of the performance of work to the industry required standard.

 Principle Eight: The system allows Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and or current competencies.  Principle Nine: Training allows multiple entry and exit in the training program.  Principle Ten: Approved training programs are nationally accredited. Programs of each institution or training center are registered with UTPRAS (Unified TVET Program Registration and Accreditation System). Now it is your turn to refresh memory on how your teacher taught you and compare it on how Competency-Based Training works. How will you teach skill-based session? Does it have any difference? Will you make that change for the better? Get a paper and take down notes on its differences.

competency, and repeat the competency-based training process.
