Preface

The reformed TVET-System is an outcome-based system. It utilizes the needs of the


labor market and occupational requirements from the world of work as the benchmark
and standard for TVET delivery. The requirements from the world of work are analyzed
and documented – taking into account international benchmarking – as Occupational
Standards (OS).

In the reformed TVET-System, Curricula and Curriculum Development play an important


role with regard to quality driven TVET-Delivery. Curricula help to facilitate the learning
process in a way, that trainees acquire the set of occupational competences (skills,
knowledge and attitude) required at the working place and defined in the Occupational
Standards (OS). Responsibility for Curriculum Development will be given to the Regional
TVET-Authorities and TVET-Providers.

This curriculum has been developed by a group of trainers from Hawassa Poly technic
College based on the Occupational Standard for Bar Bending and concreting.
It has the character of a model curriculum and is an example on how to transform the
occupational requirements as defined in the respective Occupational Standard into an
adequate curriculum.

The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by the
Hawassa Poly Technic College Human resource office performers

1. TVET-Program Design
1.1 TVET-Program Title: Bar Bending and Concreting Level III
1.2 TVET-Program Description
The Program is designed to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude of the
learners to the standard required by the OS. The contents of this program are in line
with the Occupational Standard (OS). Trainees who successfully completed the Program
will be qualified to work as a Bar bender and Concrete worker with competencies
elaborated in the respective OS. Graduates of the Program will have the required
qualification to work in the Construction Industry sector in the field of bar bending
and concreting.

The prime objective of this training program is to equip the learners with the identified
competences specified in the OS. Graduates are therefore expected to Prepare
Technical Drawing, Prepare Bill of Quantity, Monitor Excavation, Produce Pre-Cast
Concrete Structures and Components, Conduct Concrete and Ingredient Testing,
Improve Business Practice

1.5 Qualification Level and Certification


Based on the descriptors elaborated on the Ethiopian TVET Qualification Framework
(ETQF) the qualification of this specific TVET Program is “Level III”.

The learner can exit after successfully completing the Modules in one level and will be
awarded the equivalent institutional certificate on the level completed. The learner can
also exit after completing any one learning module. However, only certificate of
attainment or attendance (this is institutional discretion) will be awarded.

1.6 Target Groups


Any citizen who meets the entry requirements under items 1.7 and capable of
participating in the learning activities is entitled to take part in the Program.

1.7 Entry Requirements

Other requirements:
 ability to speak, read and understand English
 Ability to perform any required work
 Consent to work with others and ready to Entrepreneurial activity

1.8 Mode of Delivery


This TVET-Program is characterized as a formal Program on middle level technical
skills. The mode of delivery is co-operative training. The TVET-institution and identified
companies have forged an agreement to co-operate with regard to implementation of this
program. The time spent by the trainees in the industry will give them enough exposure
to the actual world of work and enable them to get hands-on experience.

The co-operative approach will be supported with lecture-discussion, simulation and


actual practice. These modalities will be utilized before the trainees are exposed to the
industry environment.

1.10 Institutional Assessment


Two types of evaluation will be used in determining the extent to which learning
outcomes are achieved. The specific learning outcomes are stated in the modules.
In assessing them, verifiable and observable indicators and standards shall be used.

The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form part of
the learning process. Formative evaluation provides the trainee with feedback
regarding success or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It identifies the specific
learning errors that need to be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful
performance as well. For the teacher, formative evaluation provides information for
making instruction and remedial work more effective.

Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules in
the unit of competence have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which
competence have been achieved. And, the result of this assessment decision shall
be expressed in the term ‘competent or not yet competent’.

Techniques or tools for obtaining information about trainees’ achievement include


oral or written test, demonstration and on-site observation.

1.11 TVET Teachers Profile
