INSTRUCTIONSThe questions in the Knowledge Assessment are all in a short answer format. They address the underpinning knowledge and concepts relevant to the units of competency in this subject.

Case Studies are longer questions requiring creative thought processes and application of concepts to theoretical situations, while the Project sets out tasks to be delivered in an actual workplace setting.

Where applicable, you must answer all questions using your own words. However you may reference your learner guide, and other online or hard copy resources to complete this assessment.

You must attempt all assessments satisfactorily to achieve an overall award of competent.

Re-read the section on Plagiarism and Copying in your Welcome pack.If you are currently working as part of an Early Childhood Education/Child Care team, you may answer these questions based on your own workplace. Otherwise consider what you should do if you were working as part of an Early Childhood Education/Child Care team you may refer to Sparkling Stars as an example.

WHAT IS COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENTThe features of a competency based assessment system are:

It is focused on what learners can do and whether it meets the criteria specified by industry as competency standards.

Assessment should mirror the environment the learner will encounter in the workplace.

Assessment criteria should be clearly stated to the learner at the beginning of the learning process.

Assessment should be holistic. That is it aims to assess as many elements and/or units of competency as is feasible at one time.

In competency assessment a learner receives one of only two outcomes – competent or not yet competent.

The basis of assessment is in applying knowledge for some purpose. In a competency system, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is seen to be ineffectual unless it assists a person to perform a task to the level required in the workplace.

The emphasis in assessment is on assessable outcomes that are clearly stated for the trainer and learner. Assessable outcomes are tied to the relevant industry competency standards where these exist. Where such competencies do not exist, the outcomes are based upon those identified in a training needs analysis.

Definition of competency

Assessment in this context can be defined as:

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

THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSING NATIONALLY RECOGNISED TRAINING Developing and conducing assessment, in an Australian vocational education and training context, is founded on a number of basic conventions:

The principles of assessment

Assessment must be valido Assessment must include the full range of skills and

knowledge needed to demonstrate competency.o Assessment must include the combination of knowledge

and skills with their practical application.o Assessment, where possible, must include judgements

based on evidence drawn from a number of occasions and across a number of contexts.

Assessment must be reliableo Assessment must be reliable and must be regularly

reviewed to ensure that assessors are making decisions in a consistent manner.

o Assessors must be trained in national competency standards for assessors to ensure reliability.

Assessment must be flexibleo Assessment, where possible, must cover both the on and

off-the-job components of training within a course.o Assessment must provide for the recognition of

knowledge, skills and attitudes regardless of how they have been acquired.

o Assessment must be made accessible to learners though a variety of delivery modes, so they can proceed through modularised training packages to gain competencies.

Assessment must be fair and equitableo Assessment must be equitable to all groups of learners.o Assessment procedures and criteria must be made clear to

all learners before assessment.o Assessment must be mutually developed and agreed upon

between assessor and the assessed.o Assessment must be able to be challenged. Appropriate

mechanisms must be made for reassessment as a result of challenge.

The rules of evidence (from Training in Australia by M Tovey, D Lawlor)

When collecting evidence there are certain rules that apply to that evidence. All evidence must be valid, sufficient, authentic and current;

Valido Evidence gathered should meet the requirements of the

unit of competency. This evidence should match or at least reflect the type of performance that is to be assessed, whether it covers knowledge, skills or attitudes.

Sufficiento This rule relates to the amount of evidence gathered It is

imperative that enough evidence is gathered to satisfy the requirements that the learner is competent across all aspects of the unit of competency.

Authentico When evidence is gathered the assessor must be satisfied

that evidence is the learner’s own work. Current

o This relates to the recency of the evidence and whether the evidence relates to current abilities.

o

THE DIMENSIONS OF COMPETENCYThe national concept of competency includes all aspects of work performance, and not only narrow task skills. The four dimensions of competency are:

Task skills Task management skills Contingency management skills Job role and environment skills

REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTAdapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners with a disability - November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development Centre

Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning environment or making changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a disability. A reasonable adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be closer to amenities, or installing a particular type of software on a computer for a person with vision impairment.

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

the same learning opportunities as learners without a disability

the same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a disability.

Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and assessment activities can include:

customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or accredited course

modifying the presentation medium learner support use of assistive / adaptive technologies making information accessible both prior to enrolment and during

the course monitoring the adjustments to ensure learner needs continue to be

met.

Assistive / Adaptive TechnologiesAssistive/adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically designed to assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide Web Consortium - W3C). It includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, alternative keyboards, devices for grasping, visual alert systems, digital note takers.

IMPORTANT NOTEReasonable adjustment made for collecting candidate assessment evidence must not impact on the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant Unit(s) of Competency. E.g. If the assessment was gathering evidence of the candidates competency in writing, allowing the candidate to complete the assessment verbally would not be a valid assessment method. The method of assessment used by any reasonable adjustment must still meet the competency requirements.

CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM

What is Cheating?

Cheating within the context of the study environment means to dishonestly present an assessment task or assessment activity as genuinely representing your own understanding of and/or ability in the subject concerned.

Some examples of cheating are:

1. Submitting someone else’s work as your own. Whether you have that persons consent or not.

2. Submitting another author’s work as your own, without proper acknowledgement of the author.

3. To allow someone else to submit your own work as theirs.4. To use any part of someone else’s work without the proper

acknowledgementThere are other forms of cheating not contained in this list. These are merely given as some examples. If you are unsure about whether any particular behaviour would constitute plagiarism or cheating, check with your trainer prior to submitting your assessment work.

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is a form of cheating and includes presenting another person or organisation’s ideas or expressions as your own. This includes, however is not limited to: copying written works such as books or journals, data or images, tables, diagrams, designs, plans, photographs, film, music, formulae, web sites, and computer programs.

How do I avoid Plagiarism or Cheating?

Students are advised to note the following advice to avoid claims of plagiarism or cheating:

Always reference other people’s work. You may quote from someone else's work (for example from websites, textbooks, journals or other published materials) but you must always indicate the author and source of the material.

Always reference your sources. You should name sources for any graphs, tables or specific data, which you include in your assignment.

Trang is working as an assistant educator in the Sparkling Stars Early Childhood Education and Care Centre observing a group of children in the outdoor play area and notices that four of the boys are running around screaming. She monitors their behaviour for any unsafe activity but besides being very noisy their behaviour is safe.

After a few minutes of doing this the boys start pushing each other. Trang quickly tries to intervene but unfortunately Simon pushes Isaac too hard and he falls, tripping over the step rail surrounding the sand pit. You rush over and notice Isaac, holding his left arm and huffing and puffing strangely but appears to be unhurt, the next thing Trang hears is Isaac screaming as he realises there is blood on his fingers. Trang approaches Isaac to inspect his arm. She notices that he has an abrasion that is approximately 2 centimetres and a cut that is about half a centimetre.

You must answer the questions below explaining what actions Trang should take in dealing with this situation.

CASE STUDIES – PART B

Case Study 1: Sleep and RestAll children have individual sleep and rest requirements. Children need a comfortable relaxing environment to enable their bodies to rest. This environment must be safe and well supervised to ensure children are safe, healthy

and secure in their environment.

Scenario 1:You are working as an early childhood educator in Sparkling Stars Childcare Centre. You are in charge of taking care of the following two children:

Tim: Tim is 3 years old. He likes to sleep with his favourite blanket that his mum packs for him when he goes to the centre. His mum has informed you that Tim gets very agitated throughout the day when he does not get his

afternoon nap, and prefers that the centre ensures he gets his nap before she picks him up in the afternoon.

Tim does not like to eat vegetables. However, his mum is very particular about his diet:

- A portion of vegetables in every meal (he is not allowed to have desert unless he finishes all his vegetables)

- He can only have desert after lunch provided he finishes all his vegetables.

- He is not allowed to have sweets between 1PM to 2PM and past 5PM

- He is lactose intolerant and very sensitive with other milk-based products

He is a very active and playful kid. He loves playing physical games with other kids such as tag, hide and seek, catch, etc. He gets easily

bored with activities like storytelling, craft making and any other activities that do not involve physical play.

Kevin: Kevin is 2 years old and is still used to sleeping in a cot. He just started going to the centre and is still afraid to be left in the centre without his mum. Hearing his mum’s voice calms him down and helps him go to sleep. So his mum provided the centre with a recording of herself reading bedtime stories to play for Kevin when he is having difficulty sleeping.

Aside from him being very shy around other kids and new people, Kevin is very easy to take care of. He follows his diet without any problem and does not require a lot of attention when he is awake. He likes to keep to himself watching educational programs for children while holding his favourite stuffed toy. He is still being potty trained, but he knows how to call an adult he is familiar with when he needs to go to the toilet. When no one familiar is around when he needs to go to the toilet, he soils himself and becomes very embarrassed and wouldn’t let anyone but his mum clean him up.

Your task: Ensure sleep and rest practices are consistent with approved standards and meet the children’s individual needs by creating a checklist that you can use for the children described above. Use the safe sleep and rest time guidelines provided in the link below as your reference:

Sleep and Rest Time Guidelines

Use the template provided in the link below to create your checklist:

Scenario 2: Tim would not go to sleep during nap time one afternoon and kept pestering the other children in the centre to play with him.
