approach that focuses on the competency development of the learner as a result of the training. Ten Principles of CBT 1. The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency standards 2. Learning is competency-based or modular in structure
3. Training delivery is individualized and self-
paced 4. Training is based on work that must be performed 5. Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the curriculum 6. Assessment of learners is based in the collection of evidences of work performance based on industry or organizational required standards
7. Training is based both on and off the job components
8. The system allows Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL) 9. The system allows for learners to enter and exit programs at different times and levels and to receive an award for competencies attained at any point.
10. Approved training programs are nationally
accredited * Role of Trainer 1. Serves as a team member to determine what is to be learned
2. Stimulates trainees‟ motivation.
3. Manages learning: a consultation
rather than a provider of information; a facilitator of the of the facilitator of the learning 4. Diagnose and solves learning problems
5. Evaluates student achievement
6. Assist learners to obtain individualized
rewards 7. Assist each trainee in designing a personalized plan of study. 8. Installs confidence in the learner by providing experiences where learners may succeed
9. Serves as a model for desirable
work habits, attitudes and tasks performance in the occupational field
10.Spends more time interacting with
students on a 1:1 or small group basis 11.Helps those students who really need help
12.Accepts responsibility along with the
student for the tasks learned or not learned. * Role of Trainee 1. Trainees may select what they want to learn and when they want to learn it, within reason.
2. Trainees learn at their own rate within
program guidelines. They may speed up, slow down, stop or even repeat a task.
3. Trainees may request to receive credit for
what they already know. This is done either through pre-testing or through a review o a task list completed at another training site, style and other needs. 4. Trainees may choose how they want to learn-individually, on a one-to- one basis, in small group, in large groups or with audio-visuals.
5. Trainees are responsible for what they
learn and when they learn it.
6. Trainees decide when they are ready to
perform each task or demonstrate mastery of learning to a job-like level of proficiency before receiving credit for the task. 7. Trainees help develop personalized prescription for learning worked out cooperatively and based upon what the students already knows, his preference for learning, learning 8. Trainees compete against prescribed job standards and not against other students and are graded on achievement of the standards or criteria of each task.
9. Trainees know “up front”, before
instruction begins what they are expected to know and do to complete the program. 10. Trainees evaluate their own progress to see how well they are doing.
11. Trainees move freely in the workshop,
laboratory and or training center. 12. Trainees know they will be rated mainly on performance, while paper and pencil tests will be used mainly to check their knowledge of the task.
13. Trainees learn according to their interest,
needs and abilities – not according to teacher timelines and expediency. What is a CBLM?
A CBLM is a printed instructional aid
that: provide trainers with guidance and resources for conducting or supporting learning activities serve as guide or resource for ‘self paced’ learning providing learners and assessors with resources for understanding and completing assessments HOW TO USE THE COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING MATERIAL
The module contains training materials
and activities for you to complete. The unit of competency in the CBLM contains the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for the course. This is one of the common modules leading to a National Certificate level II (NC II). You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to complete each of the learning outcomes of the module. In each learning outcome there are Information Sheets, Operation Sheets and Job Sheets If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your facilitator for assistance. Evaluation System using the CBLM
• Written Test • Demonstration • Oral Interview Adjectival Grade
