Sample Representation of the Diploma Program Manual for the Evaluation of POF Level 5 (Diploma) Program 1. Background TESDA Circular No. 38, s. 2017 Implementing Guidelines for the Program under PQF Level 5 (Diploma) Pilot steered the development of Diploma programs. To date, there are about 335 PQF Level 5 programs recognized by TESDA and are offered by both public and private program providers. In the TESDA Circular, the Regional Diploma Technical Working Group (RDTWG) are tasked to evaluate POF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs for recognition. Aside from the two workshops conducted in 2018, a manual detailing the procedures of evaluation may be required to guide the RDTWG and diploma focal persons, hence this Procedures Manual in the Evaluation of POF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs. This manual contains easy to follow procedures for the evaluation and alignment of diploma programs to PF Level 5. It contains tables that serve as guides in checking the compliance of the programs to the POF Level 5 Program Framework and the Implementing Guidelines for the Diploma program. Templates are also prepared to help organize and consolidate the results. The analysis tools included in this manual would also serve as guide in recommending the strategies in filing the gaps for the purpose of aligning the diploma program to POF Level 5 Program Framework, resulting to enhanced quality of implementation. ‘The evaluation process measures the alignment of the program to POF Level 5 based on the satisfaction of PLOs and Pls through the course outcomes; compliance to the Program Framework; compliance to the preconditions for development of Diploma Programs; compliance to the requirements of TESDA Circular #38 s. 2019 and its implication to the articulation and credit transfer. In the evaluation process, gaps and corresponding strategies for aligning the programs will, ikewise, be identified and recommended. Information derived from this evaluation process will guide developers and implementers in enhancing their Diploma Programs; and the Regional Diploma Technical Working Group (RDTWG) in their decision to approve or disapprove Diploma Programs submitted for recognition. ‘Manual for the Evaluation of POF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs ‘ecg CADD-NTESD Il. Purposes and Objectives of this Manual This PQF Level 5 (Diploma) Program Manual is designed to guide developers and Regional Diploma Technical Working Group (RDTWG) members to evaluate PQF Level 5 (Diploma) Program documents for purposes of enhancement and recognition. Particularly to a. Establish standard evaluation procedures essential for ensuring alignment of Diploma Programs to POF Level 5 descriptors and framework; b. Provide mechanisms in identifying gaps in the diploma program documents and recommending strategies in filling or bridging the gaps; and c. Guide the RDTWG in preparing evaluation results and recommendations for the approval or disapproval of applications for recognition of POF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs. ‘Manual for the Evaluation of POF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs ‘eacapud ADO MITES Ill, Procedures in Evaluating the PQF Level 5 (Diploma) Program The evaluation process shall be analyzing the curriculum’s alignment to POF Level 5 based on four (4) perspectives: 4.

Prior evaluation proper, check for completeness of documents to make sure all needed information are at hand. Check for Completeness of Program Documents Using Table 1 (Checklist of Documents), check whether the required documents and its needed sections are present. If present, put a check in the provided column, otherwise, put an X. Some program documents may have different formats and terminologies used. The evaluator for completeness of documents should refer to Annex A of this manual when doing completeness check to be able to discemn equivalent sections in the submitted documents. Table 1.

PQF Level § Program Framework The Program Framework is a representation of the components of the POF Level 5 (Diploma) Program. For purposes of mutti-skilling, POF Level 5 (Diploma) programs should be built upon several qualifications preferably up to the highest-evel of available TRs, backed-up by learning outcomes from courses/subjects that should build-up to satisfy/attain the 17 Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). The POF Level 5 (Diploma) programs are anchored on 17 Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) that are adherent to the POF Level 5 descriptors, complemented with the identified 21st Century Skills, and aligned to the graduate attributes of Technologist based on the ‘Sydney Accord, while at the same time conscious of the presidential call for nationalism and world citizenship. Figure 2 presents an illustration of the program framework. The diagram is composed of blue blocks representing the TR-based qualifications related to the discipline/sector and the yellow-colored learning outcomes representing learning outcomes for technologists of the discipline/sector aligned with a specific destination Higher Education (HE) program based on the Policies, Standards and Guidelines (PSG) of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). ‘3 Ss im ir fa) , pri"!

The blue blocks represent the said qualifications, while the yellow learning outcomes are courses from BS Hotel Management, its destination program. Food and Beverage Services has existing TRs for NC levels Il, Ill and IV, FBS NC IV being the highest level of existing TR, while there is no existing NC Level | TR for FBS. Same is true with Housekeeping and Cookery/Commercial Cooking. Front Office Services, Bar Tending and Bread and Pastry Production have only NC Level Il TRs. ‘Manual for the Evaluation of POF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs ‘enc CADDNTESD Procedures in Analyzing the Diploma Programs Against the POF Level 5 (Diploma) Program Framework Step 1. Prepare Program Documents Program documents needed for the evaluation of the program framework will include: Program Description, Course Specifications, Program Schedule, Curriculum Map, CHED PSG of the destination Higher Education (HE) Program. Step 2. Identify the sector and all TRs included in the Diploma Program List down all qualifications with TRs included in the whole Diploma Program. Identify the main sector to which majority of these TRs belong, Step 3. Identify the destination Higher Education (PQF Level 6) Program From the Program Description, look for the destination HE Program and secure /download its corresponding PSG from the CHED website. You will need this document throughout the evaluation process. If none is submitted nor identified in the Program Description, you may need to ask the provider to ‘submit to you this information. Step 4, Illustrate the Program Framework based on the sample Program Framework From the list of the TRs included, draw a Program Framework similar to Figure 3 (Sample Program Framework Showing the TRs included in the Program). To represent TRs included in the program, fill the cells with blue color; for NC Levels without TR, leave the cell without fill colors; and for NC levels with TR but not included in the program, represent it with red bordered boxes.

Compare the NC Levels of existing TRs with those included in the Diploma Program In this step, you are to check whether the program include TRs up to the highest level available in TESDA’s inventory of promulgated TRs. If not, this, is a gap; inclusion of which should be recommended. Step 6. Check Compliance to Framework Requirements Using Table 2, check for compliance to the requirements for POF Level 5 (Diploma) Program Framework. If your answer to the question is Yes, put a check (v) on compliant column, if No, put an X, if not applicable, put a check on Not applicable columns and the compliant column.

The 17 PLOs were granularized into Performance Indicators (Pls) to make the PLO more defined, observable, measurable, and sufficient.

A PI Enhances (E) the attainment of the PLO ifit is meant to apply knowledge contents in the study/practice of the technologies within the discipline (ex. Chemistry concepts are used to explain how metals are welded together using SMAW) and; a PI Demonstrates (D) the PLO if it involves performance of skills in the technology of the identified discipline. Each PLO has at least one PI that functions to introduce, enhance and demonstrate the PLO. The Evaluation Mechanism is guided by the following Principles: & The Diploma (PQF Level 5) adopts all the 17 PLOs and their Performance Indicators (Pls).
