5.   Assessment Plan

Assessments for this unit have been developed by taking into account assessment guidelines as provided in the training package and evidence requirements stipulated in this unit of competency. Assessment is an ongoing process of gathering evidence to determine what each student/learner knows, understands and can do in order to inform teaching and support learning of the intended curriculum.

The purposes of this assessment are;

  • To collect evidences that demonstrate competency in the performance criteria of the unit and satisfy skill, knowledge and employability skills requirements
  • To provide feedback to the learners/trainees indicating the areas of improvement and professional development
  • To measure the effectiveness of the delivery plan and evaluate the learning outcomes The required assessment criteria are provided in each assessment task for learner’s Assessment Method

Assessment in this unit is based on assessment and evidence guidelines provided in the unit of competency and the training package. The evidence is generated through summative assessment tasks. However, the role of Formative Tasks is crucial in developing the required skills and knowledge in completing the summative tasks. Formative tasks enable the trainers to evaluate their own delivery and adjust their facilitation based on the outcomes from these tasks. The role of formative assessments is to improve learning and adapt to student needs.

These tasks and activities usually take place throughout the unit and planned in accordance with the summative assessment plan/schedule. The formative tasks are generally referred to as “Portfolio” tasks. Portfolio is a collection of all the formative tasks completed during the learning sessions. The portfolio can be used by students as an evidence of participation or example of work completed as part of their learning.

Formative tasks are not assessed.

For summative tasks, the following assessment methods are available to collect the aforementioned evidence to demonstrate satisfactory performance in this unit;

  • Written Assessment Tasks
  • Practical/Analytical Tasks
  • Test/Examinations
  • Projects
  • Observation
  • Integrated Assessment

The Written Assessment Tasks and Tests have been developed to address various parts of Performance Criteria as well as Required Knowledge.

The Practical Tasks are developed to demonstrate competence in Required Skills. These assessment tasks and activities are mostly designed as in-class assessments, enabling the trainers to observe the work being undertaken and completed (i.e., demonstration of a specific/required skill). Practical tasks may also include use of online learning tools, equipment, activities, or use of software. Instructions for practical tasks are generally provided within the task description. However, trainers/assessor may set certain conditions for conducting and observing these tasks.

The Project (Individual based) addresses various aspects of competency standard including Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Employability Skills. The role of the project in assessment strategy is to measure student/trainee competence as a form of Summative Assessment. It demonstrates the efficacy of instructions and learning in the prescribed delivery period by assessing the overall performance of the students/trainees for the purpose of grading/final results.

The Test/Exam is generally designed to test the Required Knowledge component of the unit of competency. It may also be used to reinforce learning and test specific aspects of other part of competency where knowledge of certain processes/procedures is required. A knowledge test may be verbal or written as specified in the task description. Examinations are conducted under set conditions.

Observation forms part of in-class activities, participation in designated processes, presentation and provides an option where specific skills need to be demonstrated to the assessor.

Some of the assessments in this course may be used as Integrated Assessments, i.e., to use evidence created in one unit/task to determine competency in another unit/task. The concept behind the design of the integrated assessment is to limit repetitive tasks that test the same or similar competency elements in different units of competency.

Optional/Supplementary Assessments

In addition to the above assessment instruments, the following methods can be used, if required, in the context of assessment for this unit of competence, especially in the circumstances where assessment involved components of online learning as well as actual workplace activities and/or performance.

  • Workplace Verification through RPL application
  • Competency Conversation at completion of the unit

To successfully complete this unit, learners must demonstrate that they have the skills and knowledge needed as indicated in the Competency Standards (2).

Assessment can be both a formative and summative process. Formative assessment is used to provide feedback to students and teachers to promote further learning. Summative assessment contributes to the judgement of student learning for competency/award purposes.

Submission of Work

All the written works must be submitted in a soft/electronic copy required by the trainer/assessor, with an accompanying “Assessment Cover Sheet”. Each Assessment Cover Sheet should be signed by the student and must contain student details and date of submission.

Material submitted for assessment—Word processed reports, essays, projects, etc. must contain student’s name, ID (if available), address and contact details. Within the context of these assessment tasks, the assessor fulfils the role of client, manager, or supervisor, as applicable. Work submitted for “approval” within this context must demonstrate care and attention to detail, such that the student inspires confidence that the work is being undertaken competently.

In soft copy/electronic files students are encouraged to name the files according to established procedure. This would typically include a course or unit code, assessment, or submission code, and in the case of multiple files an alphanumeric identifier. Multiple files may also be required to be submitted within an enclosing folder (with similar, appropriate naming conventions) or archive format—e.g. zip or rar.

Follow submission guidelines in each assessment task for specific instructions.

Assessment Task 1: Individual

Assessment Task Review and Analyse a Samples Operational  Plan
Schedule TBA
 

 

 

Outcomes Assessed

 Performance Criteria:

1.1, 1.3, 3.1, 3.2

Addresses some elements of required skills and knowledge as shown in the Assessment Matrix

 Description:

  • Analysis report on a sample operational plan is required.

An Operational Plan is a detailed action-oriented plan that provides a clear picture of how a team, section or department will contribute to the achievement of the organisation’s strategic goals (FLN). An operational plan could be part of a strategic or a business plan, addressing human resource, physical resource, action items, key performance indicators, and operational budget requirements to achieve the intended goals. A contingency plan often accompanies an operational plan that prepares for alternative actions in case the operational plan meets any obstacles.

With a view to develop an understanding of key components and use of operational plans, you will review and analyse a sample operational in this assessment task. The sample operational plans are actual plans obtained from public domain sources for the purpose of this assessment. Formats and contents of the plan differ from organisation to organisation. However, you will be required to analyse the plan within the context of the following areas.

  • Stated goals and objectives
  • Key performance areas
  • Key performance indicators
  • Human resource (people), processes, and technology requirements
  • Physical and other resource requirements
  • Action plan/task/items
  • Budget/cost expectations
  • Key responsibilities

Ensure that your sample plan provides you with enough information to analyse the above components. Your analysis will essentially be based on your understanding and explanation of the plan – what you think about it, its key features, and how, in your view, this plan will help the organisation achieve their strategic objectives. You may also want to visit respective organisation’s website and gather further information to support your analysis/comments.

Please note, merely reiterating the contents of the plan will not be construed as an analysis. Cambridge dictionary defines analysis as the process of breaking up a concept, proposition, linguistic complex, or fact into its simple or ultimate constituents. Accordingly, it will be expected that you will write the analysis in your own words and understanding.

Plan analysis must be word processed and appropriately structured under headings/sub-headings

Word Limit: 1200 words.

Assessment Criteria

Learner’s work will be assessed based on the following criteria. Learners have also been provided with this assessment criterion in the “Learner’s Guide” to ensure that they cover all the task requirements. The same criteria are used in the checklists in Section 8 (Learner Competency Records) to record assessment outcome.

The following criteria must be addressed for this task.

  • Selected an appropriate business or strategic plan for the task
  • Completed the task within a designated assessment session in presence of an assessor
  • Addressed all the required areas of analysis

Addresses some elements of required skills and knowledge as shown in the Assessment Matrix

 Description: 

  • Operational plan is required

Operational plans provide an organisation with a mechanism to put their strategies in action and identify the resources required to achieve their stated goals and objectives. Operational plans may also be termed as action plans, annual plans, management plans or tactical plans. Separate operational plans are often prepared by different departments within an organisation to outline their specific tasks and priorities.

In Assessment Task1, you developed the understanding of the structure and components of an operational plan through an analysis of a sample operational plan. In this assessment task, given as a project, you will be required to develop an Operational Plan for a sample organisation based on its Strategic Plan. You will be provided with a sample strategic plan for this task.

Your trainer/assessor will play the role of the Senior Manager for the purpose of this task.

A past or an existing organisation can also be used as an example to develop the required organisational context for this task. Alternatively, based on the sample strategic plan, research and collect some organisational information as a background to your plan.

Develop an operational plan that includes

  • Executive summary
  • Stakeholders, consultation, and approvals
  • Operational goals and expected outcomes
  • Action plan (convert strategies to actions)
  • Key performance indicators (KPIs)
  • Human resource requirements (including training or PD and strategies to address the requirements)
  • Physical and other resource requirements (including strategies to acquire the resources)
  • Resource conservation/waste management tactics
  • Budget/cost expectations
  • Key responsibilities; including intellectual property rights and responsibilities
  • Communication plan (how plan will be communicated to all team)
  • Monitoring and evaluation
  • Contingency plan

An operational plan fundamentally addresses four questions:

  • Where are we now?
  • Where do we want to be?
  • How do we get there?
  • How do we measure our progress?

Contingency planning involves creating an alternative plan in the event of the original operational plan changing or facing obstacles due to unforeseen circumstances. It can be based on anticipated risks (e.g., non- availability of raw materials, government approvals etc.) and alternatives that can be used to keep the operational plan moving.

Assessment Criteria

Learner work will be assessed based on the following criteria. Learners have also been provided with this assessment criterion in the “Learner’s Guide” to ensure that they cover all the task requirements. The same criteria are used in the checklists in Section 8 (Learner Competency Records) to record assessment outcome.

The following criteria must be addressed for this task.

  • Identified and itemised project tasks
  • Used/developed a profile/introduction of the organisation used in the task
  • Developed an operational plan from the given strategic plan
  • The plan is appropriately structured and presented as an official document reflecting a real-life example
  • Appropriate headings and sub-headings are used to structure the contents
  • The content flow covers all the required elements of the plan and contains a logical sequence of the topics
  • An executive summary is included and provides an overview of the plan
  • Key stakeholders and consultation/approval processes are identified and defined
  • An effective communication plan is developed to communicate the plan
  • Operational goals/aims and expected outcomes align with the stated organisational or strategic goals and objectives
  • Key action tasks are developed to help implement the strategies

7.   Academic Policies and Processes

Students with Special Needs

If leaners/learners have any special needs (e.g. physical disability, learning difficulty) regarding assessment, they should be directed to discuss these with the Course Coordinator. The college will endeavour to make all possible and reasonable adjustments to any aspect of assessment in order to address those needs. Some examples of additional support could include:

  • Language, literacy and numeracy (LLN)
  • Assistive technology
  • Additional materials or tutorials
  • Assistance in using technology for online delivery

Reasonable adjustment

Reasonable adjustment refers to any modification made to the learning environment, certification requirements, training delivery or assessment method to help learners with a disability access and participate in education and training on the same basis as those without disability (IBSA, 2015).

The Disability Standards for Education 2005 were formed under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. They clarify the obligations of training providers to ensure that learners who have a disability are able to access and participate in education and training on the same basis as those without disability.

Some examples of reasonable adjustments could include:
