Questions
Question 1
Define the term ‘improved learning practice.’
Improved learning practice refers to the adoption of new or modified methods, techniques,
strategies, or approaches in the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, or understanding. These
practices are designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of learning, leading to better
outcomes, such as increased retention, comprehension, application, and transfer of learning.
Improved learning practices can be applied in various contexts, such as in formal education,
professional development, or personal learning. Examples of improved learning practices may
include active learning, personalized learning, feedback-based learning, gamification, and
technology-enhanced learning.

Question 2
Briefly describe adult learning practice.
Adult learning practice, also known as andragogy, is a field of study that focuses on how adults
learn, what motivates them to learn, and how best to facilitate their learning. Unlike children or
adolescents, adult learners have a wealth of experiences and knowledge that they bring to the
learning process. They are often self-directed and prefer to learn things that are immediately
applicable to their lives or work.

Adult learning practices are designed to meet the unique needs and characteristics of adult learners.
They emphasize relevance, practicality, and applicability to real-life situations, as well as providing
opportunities for self-reflection, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Adult learning practices
also recognize that adults have different learning styles and preferences, and they offer a variety of
instructional methods and techniques to accommodate these differences. Examples of adult learning
practices include experiential learning, self-directed learning, collaborative learning, and blended
learning, which combines online and face-to-face instruction.

Question 3
Identify and briefly describe contemporary policy and approaches to vocational learning and
assessment.
Contemporary policy and approaches to vocational learning and assessment aim to equip learners
with the skills and knowledge required to enter and succeed in the workforce. Two main policies
and approaches to vocational learning and assessment are:

1. Competency-based training (CBT): This approach is centered on the development of skills


and knowledge that are relevant to the industry or occupation. CBT involves the
identification of industry-specific competencies, which form the basis of training and
assessment. Learners are required to demonstrate their competence through practical tasks
and assessments that are directly related to the workplace.

2. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): This approach acknowledges the skills and
knowledge that learners have acquired through their previous education, training, work,
and life experiences. RPL involves the assessment of a learner's existing skills and
knowledge against the requirements of a qualification or competency standard. If the
learner can demonstrate that they meet the required standard, they can receive recognition
for their prior learning without the need for further training.

Both CBT and RPL approaches to vocational learning and assessment emphasize the importance of
workplace relevance, practicality, and flexibility. They also recognize the diversity of learners'
backgrounds and experiences, and aim to provide opportunities for all learners to achieve their full
potential in the workforce.

Question 4
Outline the content and requirements of the relevant delivery and assessment strategies.
The delivery and assessment strategies used in vocational learning are designed to ensure that
learners acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to meet the requirements of the industry or
occupation. The following are some of the key content and requirements of these strategies:

1. Delivery Strategies:

a. Blended Learning: This approach combines online and face-to-face learning, providing learners
with the flexibility to complete their training at their own pace and convenience.

b. Workplace Training: This involves on-the-job training, which allows learners to apply their skills
and knowledge in a real-world setting.

c. Simulation: This involves creating a simulated work environment that replicates the conditions
and requirements of the industry or occupation.

d. Classroom Training: This involves traditional classroom-based instruction, where learners

receive theoretical knowledge and practical skills training.

2. Assessment Strategies:

a. Competency-Based Assessment: This involves assessing learners' competence against industry-


specific competency standards, using a range of assessment methods, such as observation,
questioning, and project work.

b. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): This involves assessing learners' existing skills and
knowledge against the requirements of a qualification or competency standard, using a variety of
assessment methods, such as interviews, workplace assessments, and portfolio assessments.

c. Authentic Assessment: This involves assessing learners' skills and knowledge in a real-world
context, such as through workplace projects, case studies, and workplace assessments.

d. Formative Assessment: This involves providing learners with feedback throughout the learning
process, enabling them to improve their skills and knowledge continuously.

The content and requirements of delivery and assessment strategies may vary depending on the
industry or occupation, the level of the qualification, and the needs and characteristics of the
learners. However, all strategies should be designed to ensure that learners acquire the necessary
skills and knowledge to meet the requirements of the industry or occupation and succeed in the
workforce.

Question 5

a. Two appropriate learning theories that can improve the learning practice of
Australian Constructions are:
 Social learning theory: This theory suggests that people learn from observing
and modeling others. In the construction industry, social learning can be
facilitated through apprenticeships, mentorship programs, and on-the-job
training, where learners can observe experienced workers and develop skills
through hands-on practice.
 Cognitive load theory: This theory focuses on the amount of mental effort
required for learning and suggests that learning is more effective when the
cognitive load is optimized. In the construction industry, this can be achieved
by breaking down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable steps,
providing clear and concise instructions, and avoiding unnecessary distractions.

 Two instructional design principles that can improve the learning practice of
Australian Constructions are:
 Authenticity: Learning is more effective when it is relevant to real-life
situations. Instructional designers can create learning experiences that simulate
real-world scenarios and provide learners with opportunities to apply their
knowledge and skills in practical settings.
 Active learning: Learning is more effective when learners are actively engaged
in the process. Instructional designers can incorporate activities such as group
discussions, problem-solving tasks, and hands-on exercises to encourage
learners to take an active role in their learning.
b. Current vocational, training, and educational learning strategies in the construction
industry include apprenticeships, on-the-job training, classroom-based training, and
e-learning. These strategies aim to provide learners with the necessary knowledge
and skills to perform their job roles effectively.
c. To assess learner styles with respect to the appropriateness of current VET learning
strategies, instructional designers can use learning style inventories, such as the VARK
questionnaire, to identify learners' preferences for visual, auditory, reading/writing, and
kinesthetic learning. Based on this information, instructional designers can tailor their
learning activities to cater to the diverse learning needs of their learners. For example,
learners who prefer visual learning can benefit from diagrams, charts, and videos, while
learners who prefer kinesthetic learning can benefit from hands-on activities and
simulations.

5. Identify the chosen qualifications and compare the learning practice to ensure learning
practice reflects the qualification requirements.

1. Review the training package and the qualifications to gain an understanding of


the expected knowledge and skills.
2. Identify the units of competency included in the qualification and ensure that
the learning practice covers all of them.
3. Determine the assessment methods required by the qualification and ensure that
the learning practice prepares learners for those assessments.
4. Identify any industry-specific requirements or regulations that need to be
incorporated into the learning practice.
5. Ensure that the learning practice aligns with the Australian Qualifications
Framework (AQF) and the relevant industry standards.
6. Review and update the learning practice regularly to ensure that it remains up-
to-date and relevant to the qualification and industry requirements.

6. Identify new technologies for learning and evaluate the role of technologies and how they
impact learning techniques.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI has the ability to personalize learning by


adapting to the needs and abilities of individual learners. AI algorithms can

analyze data on student performance and provide personalized


recommendations for content, pace, and learning activities.
2. Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR): VR/AR can create immersive
learning experiences that allow learners to interact with digital objects and
environments. This technology can be used in vocational training to simulate
work environments, equipment, and processes.
3. Mobile Learning: Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have made
learning more accessible and flexible, allowing learners to access educational
content anytime, anywhere.
4. Gamification: Gamification involves incorporating game-like elements such as
points, badges, and leaderboards into learning activities to motivate and engage
learners.
 The role of technology in learning is to enhance and support the learning process,
not replace it. The use of technology should be driven by learning objectives and
should align with the learning theories and instructional design principles being
used. Technology can enable learners to engage with content in new ways and can
provide opportunities for collaboration, feedback, and assessment.
 However, it's important to recognize that not all learners have access to the same
technology or have the same level of digital literacy. It's important to consider the
accessibility and inclusivity of learning technologies and to provide support and
training for learners to ensure they can use the technology effectively.

7. Identify how learners currently learn and prepare to plan improved learning practice for the
workplace.

 To identify how learners currently learn and plan improved learning practice for the
workplace, it is important to conduct a needs analysis to determine the current skills
and knowledge of the learners, their learning preferences, and any gaps that need to
be filled. This can be done through various methods such as surveys, focus groups,
interviews, and observation.
 Once the needs analysis has been conducted, the next step is to plan the improved
learning practice for the workplace. This can involve incorporating a range of
instructional strategies and techniques, including:
1. Blended learning: This approach combines traditional classroom learning with
online learning, providing learners with the flexibility to learn at their own pace
and in their own time.
2. Active learning: This approach focuses on engaging learners in the learning
process by using interactive activities such as group discussions, case studies,
and problem-solving exercises.
3. Personalized learning: This approach is tailored to the individual needs and
interests of learners, allowing them to learn at their own pace and in a way that
suits their learning style.
4. Gamification: This approach involves using game-like elements such as points,
badges, and leaderboards to motivate learners and make learning more
engaging.

5. Microlearning: This approach involves breaking down learning content into


small, bite-sized chunks that can be easily absorbed and retained by learners.
 By incorporating these instructional strategies and techniques, learners can be
engaged in their learning, acquire new skills and knowledge, and transfer them to
the workplace.

8. Develop a structured plan for improved learning practice based on the experience and
personal interests of the learner

 Developing a structured plan for improved learning practice involves several steps,
such as:
1. Define the learning goals: Identify the specific skills, knowledge, and attitudes
that the learner needs to acquire or improve on. This could be based on the
learner's job role, career goals, or personal interests.
2. Assess the learner's current knowledge and skills: Conduct a needs analysis or
diagnostic assessment to identify the learner's strengths and weaknesses in
relation to the learning goals.
3. Select appropriate learning resources: Identify the most appropriate learning
resources (e.g. textbooks, videos, online courses, workshops, mentoring, etc.)
that align with the learning goals and the learner's preferred learning style.
4. Develop a learning schedule: Create a structured plan that outlines the learning
activities, milestones, and deadlines. This should be realistic and flexible
enough to accommodate any unforeseen changes.
5. Establish feedback mechanisms: Provide regular feedback and support to the
learner to help them stay on track and address any learning gaps or challenges.
6. Evaluate progress: Regularly review the learner's progress and assess the
effectiveness of the learning practice. Use this feedback to make any necessary
adjustments or improvements to the learning plan.
 Overall, the structured plan should be designed to support the learner's ongoing
development and help them achieve their learning goals in a way that is both
engaging and effective.

9. Identify and describe at least three monitoring methods of improved learning practice.

1. Formative assessments: Formative assessments are designed to track learning


progress as it happens, and provide ongoing feedback to learners. These
assessments can take many forms, including quizzes, homework assignments,
classroom discussions, and peer reviews. They allow instructors to identify
areas where learners may need additional support, and adjust instruction to meet
those needs.
2. Self-reflection: Encouraging learners to reflect on their learning experiences can
be a valuable tool for monitoring progress. Self-reflection can take many forms,
such as journaling, group discussions, or one-on-one meetings with an
instructor. Through self-reflection, learners can identify their strengths and

Document Assessment Submission Template - TAELED803 Implement improved learning practice Page 17 of 33

weaknesses, set goals for themselves, and develop strategies for continued
improvement.
3. Observations: Observations can be an effective way to monitor learning practice
in real-time. Instructors can observe learners as they work on tasks, participate
in group discussions, or engage in other learning activities. This allows
instructors to identify areas where learners may be struggling, and provide
targeted support and feedback. Observations can also help instructors to identify
areas where their instructional practices may need to be adjusted to better meet
the needs of learners.

10. Role-play activity. Refer to next page for instructions. Meet with the CEO (your assessor)
in a role-play consultation meeting to discuss and explore requirements and to make

Mentor: Alright. To achieve that, we need to assess your current learning practice. Can you describe
your current approach to learning and development?
John: Usually, I just attend training sessions or read up on materials on my own. I don't really have a
structured plan for learning.

Mentor: I see. Well, for our mentoring sessions, we'll start by identifying your learning needs and then
develop a plan to address those needs. We'll also set specific objectives for each session.
John: That sounds good. What's our first objective for today's session?
Mentor: Our objective for this session is to develop a plan to improve your project management skills.
We'll start by assessing your current skill set and identifying areas that need improvement. Then, we'll
develop a plan that includes training, mentoring, and practical experience.
John: Okay. How do we go about assessing my skills?
Mentor: We'll use a skills assessment tool that will help us identify your strengths and areas for
improvement. We'll also look at your performance on previous projects to see where you may need
more support.
John: That makes sense. What's the next step after that?
Mentor: After we identify your learning needs, we'll develop a plan that includes a mix of training,
mentoring, and practical experience. We'll also set specific goals and objectives for each component
of the plan, so you know exactly what you need to achieve.
John: Alright. I think I understand. What do you think will be the best way to deliver the training and
mentoring?
Mentor: We'll use a combination of methods, including one-on-one mentoring sessions, group
training, and on-the-job experience. We'll also provide you with access to relevant resources, such as
books, articles, and online courses.
John: That sounds great. How long do you think this plan will take?
Mentor: It will depend on your progress and the level of support you need. But we can review and
adjust the plan regularly to ensure that it's working for you.
John: Thank you for your guidance, Mentor. I'm looking forward to the journey ahead.
Mentor: You're welcome, John. I'm here to support you every step of the way.
