Associated Assessment Criteria Exit Level Outcome 4:
4.1 Verbal communication is used during the interaction with other role players in the lifting and mechanical handling environment to determine and understand the extent of the lifting task, find and implement solutions and giving and getting feedback.
4.2 Written communication is used in order to understand, evaluate and report on the completion of the lifting task.
4.3 Technical reading skills are applied in order to understand task information through the use of work instructions or drawings.
4.4 Technical writing skills are applied in order to record extraordinary occurrences or related information.
Integrated Assessment:
Assessment practices must be open transparent fair valid and reliable and should ensure that no learner is disadvantaged in any way whatsoever, so that an integrated approach to assessment is incorporated into the qualification.
Learning teaching and assessment are inextricably interwoven. Whenever possible the assessment knowledge skills attitudes and values shown in the unit standards should be integrated.
Assessment of Communication and Mathematical Literacy should be integrated as far as possible with other aspects and should use practical administration contexts wherever possible. A variety of methods must be used in assessment and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working or will work. Where it is not possible to assess the learner in the workplace or on-the-job, simulations, case studies, role plays and other similar techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment.
The term “integrated assessment” implies that theoretical and practical components should be assessed together. During integrated assessments, the assessor should make use of a range of summative assessment methods and assess combinations of practical, applied, foundational and reflective competencies.
Assessors must assess and give credit for the evidence of learning that has already been acquired and could include formal, non-formal learning and work experience.
Assessment should ensure that all specific outcomes, embedded knowledge and critical cross-field outcomes are evaluated in an integrated manner.
Integrated assessment instruments may combine practical and theoretical components of assessment with the following unit standards in relation to the exit level outcomes:
