COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT
Competency based assessment requires students to be able to demonstrate their
competency consistently.
Any task within this workbook needs to be demonstrated, observed and
recorded. Some tasks may have specific requirements such as:
 Demonstrated a certain number of times, or
 Completing a task three (3) times with three (3) children of different ages
and/or background.

Recording the performance of an assessment tasks can be done in three


ways:
1. Undertake a task, describe how you completed the task to meet
requirements, enter the date and get your supervisor to sign off in
confirmation, and add any comments they have as a result of their
observation of the task.
2. 3rd Party Reports – some tasks require the direct supervision and
observation of you completing those tasks. The Vocational Placement
supervisor or nominated educator must complete the relevant sections.
3. Projects – this workbook contains projects that require you to conduct
workplace observations, checklists, write reports and submit supporting
documentation.

Please ensure that your vocational placement supervisor is aware that


they need to include comments about their observation.
Once you have submitted your completed your skills logbook, your Assessor will assess
the evidence to determine your competence. The Assessor will look at the information
and comments that the supervisor has provided and determine whether each task has
been done satisfactorily.
To be deemed competent in each unit, you are required to achieve a satisfactory result
for all of the assessment components that make up that unit. Where a ‘not yet
satisfactory’ judgement is made, you will be given guidance on steps to take to improve
your performance and be provided the opportunity to resubmit evidence to
demonstrate competence. Once a ‘satisfactory’ judgement has been made on all
components for a unit, you will be deemed ‘competent’ in that unit.

SUPERVISOR’S GUIDELINES
Skills Logbook/Signing Off
The Skills Logbook is designed to be used by both the student and their vocational
placement supervisor.

Competency based assessment requires students to be


able to demonstrate their competency consistently.
Students can demonstrate their skills by being observed
performing duties within the facility, showing their
skills in a simulated or practice style activity and
responding appropriately to questions showing
essential knowledge of the task being performed.
As a vocational placement supervisor you need to fill in
the Skills Logbook signing off when you observe the student undertaking the tasks in
a satisfactory manner. This is done by marking [S] if you believe the student’s
performance is satisfactory or [NYS] if not yet satisfactory
Satisfactory [S] or Not Yet Satisfactory [NYS]
The comments section is provided for you to comment on the performance of the
student. Please always include comments as these are critical in determining whether
a student has demonstrated competency in a task.
Once completed and signed, the student is required to submit their Skills Assessment
Booklet to their assessor to complete their final assessment.
Please Note: You are not required to assess the student, but your observations as an
industry expert form an important part of the information reviewed by the assessor in
determining the competence of the student.

Skills Workbook Version No. 4.5 Produced 17 September 2018Page 11

If a student is not yet satisfactory at performing a task, providing them with feedback
and opportunities to practice the task will help, and positive feedback on satisfactory
tasks will increase the student’s confidence in their abilities. Should you have any
concerns or questions about completing the Skills Logbook, please contact the
Placement Coordinator, and they will assist you with any queries you may have.
If the student has been unable to demonstrate performance in any tasks during their
industry placement, we will assist the student where possible to find a way to
demonstrate their skills in this area. Some elements will be achieved through project
work and workbooks.

Project 1 : Self-Evaluation

Task: Development of own work performance


This task should be completed after your first week in the workplace when you have
had some experience working in the centre. The activities under this task will guide
you in reviewing and evaluating your work performance and in developing a work
plan that will help you achieve your work goals and the centre’s expectations.
1. Accomplish the self-evaluation form by following the steps below:

Step 1: Know the job quality and customer service requirements of your
position. The job quality requirements may be found in your job description
or duty statement, or you may ask your supervisor or manager in the centre.
Customer service requirements are detailed in Commonwealth and State
legislation and associated service standards or may be defined in the
organisation’s policy and procedure manual.

Step 2: In the Self-Evaluation Form, list five (5) job quality requirements
and five (5) customer service requirements for your position.

Step 3: Look closely at the way in which you complete the tasks expected of
you and those that are included in your job description in the centre. Reflect
whether you are able to meet the requirements for job quality and customer
service on these practices that you implement on a day-to-day basis.

Step 4: Evaluate your first week in the centre. Assess whether you are still
working on meeting these requirements, you are able to meet them most of
the time or you always meet a requirement in the performance of a task.

Step 5: For those requirements that you have assessed as M (met most of
the time) and A (always met), give an example on how you meet this
requirement in your day-to-day tasks.

Step 6: Answer the self-assessment questions in Part B of the Self-


Evaluation form.

Step 7: Create a short report, addressed to your supervisor, summarising the


findings of your self-evaluation. Include a brief discussion of details of unmet
requirements and, if applicable, the need for additional support and training
to improve work performance. Use the report template provided below.
Guidance: The report must be written in the space provided in this
workbook. There is no need to submit an actual report.

Scenario I
During your vocational placement practice, you met other ECE candidates who are also completing
their vocational requirements in the centre: Antonina,
Viktoriya, and Vera. Antonina, Viktoriya, and Vera are best
friends from from a small town in Russia. They moved to
Australia together a few years ago to pursue a career in
childcare.
You’ve spent a couple of years in Russia when you were
young, and could understand Russian quite well. Although
you get along well with the three of them, you noticed that
they sometimes speak in Russian to talk inappropriately
about other staff and clients in the centre.

Scenario 2
One of the activities in your workbooks requires you to work with
other educators in pairs to design and implement learning plans for
a group of kids assigned to your care by the centre.
Antonia and Viktoriya paired together, while you paired with Vera.
You sat with them over lunch and they asked you questions about
one of the children in the centre that “looked different” from the rest.
You realized that they were talking about Adoni, a 4-year old toddler
of aboriginal decent. One of the tasks in the activity was to speak with
the children’s parents to involve them in the design of the learning plan. Antonia and Viktoriya
openly expressed their frustration, because they are having a hard time communicating with Adoni
and Adoni’s parents due to some language barrier, causing the delay for the completion of their
project.
As a result, they often just ignore Adoni and just made up the information for him in his learning
plan. Adoni’s mum noticed that the other educators are not as helpful and supportive with her and
her son and comlplained to you about it.
