Information Sheet 1.

5-1
Training Resources

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU

MUST be able to
1. identify learning resources for CBT;
2. classify learning resources;
3. check the availability of learning resources against TR requirements.

In planning your learning sessions, learning materials and resources

are very important. These will help you impart knowledge in a more effective
way. Learning resources and materials are directly related to methods of
learning you will be able to use in CBT.
In this lesson you will learn how to identify and monitor the
availability of needed resources for each competency of your qualification.

Training Materials and Resources

Learning resources are information represented, accessible, or stored
in a variety of media and formats.

A. Training materials for the knowledge

1. Print Materials

 Competency Based Learning Materials (CBLM)

 Textbooks, references, etc.
 Technical, shop, and manufacturer’s manual
 Magazines, journals, trade publications, pamphlets, and periodicals
2. Non-Print Materials

 Still visuals (with & without sound), slides, film strips, flip charts,
photograph
 Motion visuals (with & without sound) video tape, video discs
 Interactive e-learning materials
 B. The materials that are used for skills practice

1. Tools and Instruments

2. Materials and Supplies
3. Equipment
4. Simulators/Mock-ups
5. Templates
6. Sample outputs/projects
7. Job Sheets
8. Activity Sheets
9. Operation Sheets

C. Resources used for skills feedback

1. Performance Criteria Checklists

2. Procedural Checklists
3. Evaluation Checklists
4. Achievement/Progress Charts

D. Resources used for knowledge practice

1. Self-checks
2. Post-tests
3. Written tests
4. Review questions
5. Oral quizzes

E. Resources used for knowledge feedback

1. Answer key or solutions to compare answers with

2. Model answer
How will you gather and consolidate materials?

When gathering the needed materials and resources, it will be better if

you can prepare beforehand a list of all the needed resources that you will
use for a certain session or unit of competency. The list surely will identify
the specific resources, how many are available, how many are required for
the session and remarks.
Each group of resources should have a separate list; let us say for
print materials, it should have a checklist different from list for non-print
and so with the other types of resources. This system will ensure that all the
resources will be available when you conduct the training program.

The Inventory of Training Resources

The Training Regulations (TR) gives a guide on the training resources

needed for CBT of your qualification. The list of the training resources was
grouped as tools, equipment and materials.
An inventory of training resources by competency would be very
helpful in planning your workstations and your learning activities. Group
your resources by competency so that you can plan for the use resources
shared by 2 or more competencies (e.g. in housekeeping vacuum cleaner
and floor polisher are shared in “provide housekeeping for guests” and
“clean premises”).
The inventory would help you decide which mock-ups, simulators or
workstation can be duplicated to accommodate more trainees practicing
particular skills.
The inventory will help you in many ways: 1) it will serve as a monitor
of resources that need to be replenished, repaired or purchased; 2) predict
the supplies and materials needed in a year; 3) plan the use of resources
shared among competencies; and 4) serves as the basis for purchase
requests and annual procurement plan.
