HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING
MATERIALS
Welcome to the module in Facilitating Learning Sessions. This module contains

training materials and activities for you to complete.
The unit of competency "Facilitate Learning Sessions" contains knowledge, skills
and attitudes required for TRAINERS METHODOLOGY LEVEL I.
You are required to go through a series of learning activities in order to complete
each learning outcome of the module. Information Sheets consists of learning contents
that you need to learn. Each Information sheet has a learning objective that you need
to attain while reading the Information Sheets. After each Information Sheet is a Self-
Check that will help you test yourself if you have attained the learning objectives.
Task Sheets and Job Sheets are activity sheets that will help you practice the
skills previously discussed in the Information Sheets or demonstrated by your trainer. A
Performance Criteria Checklist is provided with the Task Sheets and Job Sheets which
will allow for self evaluation or peer evaluation. This Performace Criteria may be used by
your trainer to evaluate your performance. Follow these activities on your own. If you
have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your trainer for assistance.
The goal of this course is the development of practical skills. To gain these skills,
you must learn basic concepts and terminology. For the most part, you'll get this
information from the Information Sheets and TESDA Website, www.tesda.gov.ph
This module was prepared to help you achieve the required competency, in
"Facilitating Learning Sessions".
This will be the source of information for you to acquire knowledge and skills in
this particular competency independently and at your own pace, with minimum
supervision or help from your instructor.
Remember to:
∙ Work through all the information and complete the activities in each section.
∙ Read information sheets and complete the self-check. Suggested references are
included to supplement the materials provided in this module.
∙ Perform the Task Sheets and Job Sheets until you are confident that your
outputs conform to the Performance Criteria Checklist that follows the
sheets.
∙ Submit outputs of the Task Sheets and Job Sheets to your facilitator for
evaluation and recording in the Accomplishment Chart. Outputs

shall serve as your portfolio during the Institutional Competency Evaluation.

When you feel confident that you have had sufficient practice, ask your Trainer to
evaluate you. The results of your assessment will be recorded in your Progress
Chart and Accomplishment Chart.
You must pass the Institutional Competency Evaluation for this competency before
moving to another competency. A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to you
after passing the evaluation.

The Principles of Competency Based Training
Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:
1. enumerate the 10 principle of CBT
2. explain the principles of CBT
Competency Based Training (CBT) is a training delivery approach that focuses

on the competency development of the learner as a result of the training.
Competency Based Training emphasizes on what the learner can actually do;
focuses on outcomes rather than the learning process within specified time; is concerned
with the attainment and application of knowledge, skills and attitude to a specific level of
competency.
CBT is based on the following basic principles:
1. The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency
standards;
The trainer should be aware that all training activities are done towards the
attainment of the assessment criteria set in the competency based curriculum.
2. Learning is modular in its structure;
One competency is generally considered as one module. Since learning is
modular in instruction, a trainee should be competent in the module currently being
trained before going to the other competency. Competency Based Learning Materials
are prepared per competency which shall serve as the main material and guide in
training. Information in the attainment of
knowledge and skills are provided for in the CBLM. In case other training materials
such as videos, computer-based learning materials and other references are needed,
the CBLM usually gives direction on how these materials can be accessed and used.
3. Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate
individualized and self-paced learning strategies;
Trainees are treated as individual learners with different characteristics, learning styles
and training needs. The sessions should therefore provide for varied activities, employing
different methods of training. Considering that trainees are being trained simultaneously
on different competencies, activities should always allow trainees to work independently
or in small groups with minimum supervision. Learning Materials should provide for self-
evaluation or peer evaluation so that
Facilitating NTTA
March 2012
TrainingSessions
Developed by:
immediate feedback on the performance of each trainee is sought for in every learning
activity. Answer keys, model answers and performance criteria checklist are very
important tools to attain these objectives.
4. Training is based on work that must be performed;
Training is always based on actual industry practices. Training should provide for
a simulated work environment.
5. Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and
curriculum modules;
The Competency Based Learning Materials used during the training should
conform to the competency based curriculum and the competency standards. The trainer
should always check his session plans and CBLMs to make sure that all assessment
criteria are attained. The Competency Standards always provide the minimum
requirements of the competency. A
trainer should always aim for the attainment of every criteria. Enhancements are
also encouraged.
6. Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of
work to the industry required standard;
Assessment is done to test whether the trainee is able to perform the job based on
the required criteria in the competency standards. This should be done before a trainee
can advance to another competency. A carefully prepared Institutional Evaluation Tool
should be used to assess the competency of the trainee. In CBT, grades are the not the
basis of his competency; it is based on the satisfaction of the criteria/evidences which are
collected through an institutional competency evaluation.
7. Training is based both on and off the job components;

Training is done in a simulated work environment (the laboratory) and/or in an
actual work environment such as in training cum production, enterprise based training,
supervised industry training and on-the-job training.
8. Training program allows for recognition of prior learning(RPL) or

current competencies;
Current competencies acquired through training or work experience are recognized
before training through a validation process so that the trainer can provide activities
that match the learning level of each trainee. Prior learning is recognized by giving them
a Certificate of Achievement for the competencies acquired previously. Data on other
acquired skills should be carefully recorded to serve as data for planning the training
activities of a particular trainee. A trainee who has prior experiences as a janitor but is
not yet competent in “Providing Housekeeping Services to Guest”, for example, may not
practice how to use cleaning equipment anymore but
Facilitating NTTA
March 2012

would concentrate on other activities that would help him satisfy the assessment
criteria of the competency. This would shorten the training hours of the particular
trainee.
9. Training allows for multiple entry and exit;

Trainees do not need to wait for others to be competent before he can exit either a
competency or the qualification. Fast learners may graduate faster than others.
10. Training programs are registered with the UTPRAS.
All programs should be registered to the Unified TVET Program Registration and
Accreditation System. UTPRAS registratrion assures the quality of training.
The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery modes,
both on and off-the job as long as the learning is driven by the competency standards
specified by the industry. The following training modalities may be adopted when
designing training programs:
The dualized mode of training delivery is preferred and recommended. Thus
programs would contain in-school and in-industry training or fieldwork components.
Details can be referred to the Dual Training System (DTS) Implementing Rules and
Regulations.
Modular/self-paced learning is a competency-based training modality wherein
the trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer just facilitates the
training delivery.
Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality wherein fast learners are given
the opportunity to assist the slow learners.
Supervised industry training or on-the-job training is an approach in training
designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the trainee through actual experience in
the workplace to acquire specific competencies prescribed in the training regulations.
Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority of the
instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not in the same place.
Distance learning may employ correspondence study, or audio, video or computer
technologies.
Project-based instruction is an authentic instructional model or strategy in
which students plan, implement and evaluate projects that have real applications.

Characteristics of CBT
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you should be able to enumerate and
explain the characteristics of CBT.
CBT has distinct characteristics as a delivery approach. These characteristics make it
very appropriate in training skills. Information in this information sheet will serve as a
guide for you when facilitating a learning session
Characteristics of CBT
According to Foyster (1990), Delker (1990) and Norton (1987) there are a number of
characteristics of competency-based programs. Key characteristics are summarized as
follows:
∙ Competencies are carefully selected.
∙ Supporting theory is integrated with skill practice. Essential knowledge is

learned to support the performance of skills.
∙ Detailed training materials are keyed to the competencies to be achieved and are
designed to support the acquisition of knowledge and skills.
∙ Methods of instruction involve mastery learning, the premise that all participants
can master the required knowledge or skill, provided sufficient time and
appropriate training methods are used.
∙ Participants’ knowledge and skills are assessed as they enter the program and
those with satisfactory knowledge and skills may bypass training or
competencies already attained.
∙ Learning should be self-paced.
∙ Flexibletraining approaches including large group methods, small group

activities and individual study are essential components.
∙A variety of support materials including print, audiovisual and simulations (models)

keyed to the skills being mastered are used.
∙ Satisfactorycompletion of training is based on achievement of all specified

competencies.

Implications for Using CBT
In a 1990 study of three operating competency-based programs, Anthony

Watson identified a number of implications for organizations considering implementing
a CBT system:
∙ Organizations must be committed to providing adequate resources and training

materials.
∙ Audiovisual materials need to be directly related to the written materials.
∙ Training activities need to match the objectives.
∙ Continuous participant interaction and feedback must take place.
∙ Trainers must be trained to conduct competency-based training courses.
∙ Individualsattending training must be prepared for CBT as this approach is likely to

be very different from their past educational and training experiences.
Advantages and Limitations of CBT
One of the primary advantages of CBT is that the focus is on the success of each
participant. Watson (1990) states that the competency- based approach “appears
especially useful in training situations where trainees have to attain a small number of
specific and job-related competencies” (page 18). Benefits of CBT identified by Norton
(1987) include:
∙ Participants will achieve competencies required in the performance of their

jobs.
∙ Participants build confidence as they succeed in mastering specific competencies.
∙ Participants receive a certificate of achievement for every competency they have

achieved.
∙ Trainingtime is used more efficiently and effectively as the trainer is a facilitator of

learning as opposed to a provider of information.
∙ Moretraining time is devoted to working with participants individually or in small

groups as opposed to presenting lectures.
∙ Moretraining time is devoted to evaluating each participant’s ability to perform

essential job skills.
While there are a number of advantages of competency-based training, there

also are some potential limitations. Prior to implementing CBT, it is important to
consider these limitations:
March 2012 NTTA
Facilitating
∙ Unless initial training and follow up assistance is provided for the trainers, there is a
tendency to “teach as we were taught” and CBT trainers quickly slip back into the
role of the traditional teacher.
∙A CBT course is only as effective as the process used to identify the competencies.
When little or no attention is given to identification of the essential job skills,
then the resulting training course is likely to be ineffective.
∙A course may be classified as competency-based, but unless specific CBT materials

and training approaches (e.g., learning guides, checklists and coaching) are
designed to be used as part of a CBT approach, it is unlikely that the resulting
course will be truly competency-based.

Principles of Adult Learning
After reading this information sheet, you should be able to enumerate and
explain the principles of adult learning.
Trainees of TVET are generally adults. In planning and delivery of training

therefore, you should consider this principles so that appropriate activities and
materials are prepared and used during the delivery of training.
Key Characteristics of Adult learner
Adult learners desire that learning be:
∙ relevant;
∙ task-oriented;
∙ participatory (two-way communication);
∙ friendly (controlled stress, positive feedback);
∙ varied (demonstrations, case-studies, role play; not just lectures); and
∙ built on past experience.
These characteristics are based on the following eight principles of adult learning
(Sullivan et al 1995):
∙ Learning is most productive when the student is ready to learn. Although

motivation is internal, it is up to the trainer to create a climate that will
nurture motivation.
∙ Learning is most effective when it builds on what the student already

knows or has experienced.
∙ Learning is most effective when students are aware of what they need to
learn.
∙ Learning is made easier by using a variety of training methods and
techniques.
∙ Opportunities to practice skills initially in controlled or simulated situations

(e.g., through role play or use of anatomic

models) are essential for skill acquisition and for development of skill
competency.
∙ Repetition is necessary to become competent or proficient in a skill.
∙ The more realistic the learning situation, the more effective the learning.
∙ Tobe effective, feedback should be immediate, positive and

nonjudgmental
Training delivery is based on different principles of education and training. As a

trainer, should have a clear understanding of these principles and the characteristics of
your trainee so that you can provide activities most appropriate to them. Integrating
these principles of education and training should make your training more efficeint and
most effective.

TRUE OR FALSE
1. Repetition is needed when training adults.
2. Demonstration of skill is needed by adults in order to learn skills. 3.
Demonstration is the only method appropriate for adult learners. 4. Adult

Delivery Plans
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you should be able to:
1. enumerate and explain important activities that a trainer should do to
make facilitation of learning effective.
2. outline the 9 events of instruction and
3. describe how the nine events of instruction are being done to ensure
efficient learning
CBT is a learner-centered and a learner based approach to training. The delivery

should, however, be well-prepared and well-planned for it to become effective since it is
different from the traditional approach that trainees experienced from their education
outside of TVET.
This information sheet provides you with trainers’ guides to make teaching and
learning more effective using the Competency-Based Training delivery approach. These
guides will help you plan the delivery of training.
Your role as a trainer in CBT is more of a facilitator. More than a presenter of
contents, you serve as a guide that teaches trainees how to learn. You should seek and
provide suitable opportunities, resources and guidance to your trainees. The success of
the teaching-learning activities depends very much on how you have prepared and how
you delivered. “If the learner have not learned, it’s because you have not prepared and
failed to perform your role.”
The following activities will useful guides for a facilitator like you:
Explain the objectives and the outcomes of the training
The participants of your training activities should know where they are going, what
goals they need to achieve and what outcomes they are supposed attain. By sharing
understanding of the objectives, they will better understand the relevance of the
activities they will undergo.
Explain the learning and assessment process

As a part of the orientation process, the CBT process flow, the use of the CBLM and
other learning materials should be explained extensively to the trainees. Since trainees
came from a traditional way of learning, they would expect the same activities like sitting
down while listening to their teacher who is expected to be always in front of them

explaining every lesson that they should learn. It is your role to explain to them how
they would learn in your workshop.
Trainees would also expect for a grade. The evaluation or assessment process should be
fully explained to make them understand that every competency requires for an
institutional competency evaluation which consists of a written test, a performance test
and an interview.
This explanation would empower your trainees because they deserve to know
they will learn and how they shall be assessed.
Ensure that presentation and training methods are appropriate

The TNA forms you developed in the module Plan Training Sessions should be
used to know the learning styles, capabilities and aptitudes of your individual trainees.
This will help you select the right methods and materials to be used by the individual
trainee. Since CBT is individualized learning, a method for one trainee may not be
appropriate for the other. Inappropriate method used may have adverse effects on your
trainees.
Use training equipment and materials correctly

Training equipment when used correctly adds value and efficiency in the learning
experiences. When they see and actually practice proper use of these equipment, their
learnings will be enhanced. Visuals and other learning materials should be properly used
and reviewed so that they can be enhanced periodically.
Provide frequent advice and feedback to facilitate the learning process

Facilitators should be in constant contact with the trainees. Continuous and
immediate feedback is critical to the acquisition of knowledge and skills. The CBLM is
designed to provide this kind of feedback. Answer keys to self-checks are provided so
that immediate
feedback on knowledge practice is offered. Performance criteria checklist always goes
with task sheets, job sheets and operation sheet to provide for self-evaluation and peer-
evaluation while the task is being practiced. But ultimately, the trainer should always
evaluate the performance of trainees so that corresponding feedback is provided and
trainees are guided through the learning process.
Provide ample practice opportunities

Competency-based training is teaching what to do, how and why to do it and
then being given the opportunity for guided practice. The task sheets, job sheets and
the operation sheets provided in the CBLMs provide guides for the practice of skill. The
performance objectives should be carefully
Facilitating NTTA

Developed by:
stated so that the objectives of the practice are specific for the learning situation.
Before the practice, however, the trainee should actually see how the skill is being
done so that the practice reinforces the correct approach to the task. The procedures
should be stated so that it can be understood and followed easily.
While trainees are practicing skills, feedback and diagnostic aspects of guidance
should be properly managed so as to ensure both confidence and competence.
Monitor trainees’ readiness for assessment

Monitoring achievements of trainees is a very important aspect of the delivery of
training. Your role as a trainer here is to see to it that the activities and requirements
are properly sequenced and accomplished to achieve outcomes desired. Recording of
accomplishments would motivate trainees to achieve learning outcomes based on
standards set. If the trainees sees that you are closely monitoring their achievements,
this will give them the signal that you are serious about your set goals and standards
in the training program.
You can establish the trainee’s readiness for assessment only if you monitor
achievements of your individual trainee.
As a guide, the nine events of instruction should be considered when planning for
delivery of training.
The Nine Events of Instruction
In 1965, Robert Gagné published The Conditions of Learning, which identified the
mental conditions for learning. These were based on the information processing model of
the mental events that occur when adults are presented with various stimuli. Gagné’s
theory stipulates that there are several different types or levels of learning and that each
specific type requires unique types of instruction.
1. Gain attention
The first step is to arouse the student’s interest with novelty or surprise. You
may also want to appeal to the learner by asking questions, so that they will be further
motivated to engage with the content.
In CBT, it is then essential to gather trainees every morning to achieve this
purpose. Orientation every start of the competency is also an essential part of the
training in order to motivate trainees to learn and achieve learning outcomes.

TrainersMethodology Revised:
Level I NTTA
March 2012
Facilitating
2. Inform learner of objectives
It is important to inform the learner of the expectations that you have of them.
This will help reduce anxiety in students who would otherwise not know what they
should be studying.
During the morning activities trainees are reminded of the overall goal of their
training as well as the objectives of the days activities. Since they are working on
different competencies and different activities, the Competency Based Learning
Material should have objectives, learning objectives for Information Sheets and
Performance Objectives for the activities that need practice of skill.
3. Stimulate recall of prior learning
Trainees, especially adult learners, retain concepts and new information better if the
concepts are related to something they already know. In this way, they can make the
connection to their personal experiences and the learning will be more meaningful.
This step is essentially the recall and rejoinder. The facilitator should be able to
point out the interconnection between the concepts previously learned to the skill that
needs to be practiced and the importance of single tasks with the bigger Job that needs
to be honed. Relationship of the competency to the overall qualification should also be
emphasized to motivate trainees to learn all concepts and skills of the qualification.
4. Present stimulus material
At this point in the learning process, the content is presented to the students.
For the student to retain information it is preferable that the content be organized into
meaningful chunks, and that a variety of methods appealing to all learning styles be
used. Using examples and real-life situations is also a great way to enhance the
retention of information, as learners can apply the material to their own life
experiences and internalize the content.
Contents that are directly related to the attainment of the learning outcomes are
carefully selected.
5. Provide learner guidance
Communication between the instructor and the learner is an essential means of

providing guidance. Not only does communication help the learner stay on track, but it
also ensures that the instructor has an idea of how the trainees are doing.
This step is the development of the lesson. Different methodologies should be prepared
by the trainer to capture the trainees with different learning styles. Trainers should
provide every opportunity for trainees to
Facilitating NTTA

TrainingSessions

Revision # 01
Redilyn C. Agub
actually see how skills are done. Actual demonstration of skills either by the trainer, by
advanced students or through video presentations are essential methods in the
acquisition of skills.
Step number 4 and 5 are carefully planned in the session plan. These steps are
dependent on what content is presented and what method of training is employed. It is
recommended that methods should vary depending on the learning styles of the
trainee. These would allow learning to fit to the trainee and would provide for self-
paced learning.
6. Elicit performance
The contents in your session plan is classified as knowledge based and skills
based. Contents that are classified as knowledge are practiced through the self-checks or
through face to face questioning depending on the the method used. For modular self-
paced method, self-shecks are provided every after Information Sheet to provide frequent
and immediate practice.
Skills that need to be practiced are presented in the CBLM as Task Sheets for
single Tasks, Operation Sheet for the operation of equipment and Job Sheets for
combination of tasks and operations required in performing a Job which usually
requires an output or a service.
7. Provide feedback
Immediate, frequent and continuous feedback is essentially additional guidance.

If the learner has not yet grasped a concept or idea, this is the time to provide more
information and different examples.
In CBT, you provide feedback for the practice of knowledge using the self-check
answer keys. Asking trainees to check their own answers against a key would allow
self-paced learning of knowledge.
While practicing skills, the trainees should be able to check against standards whether
he is doing the skill as required. The performance criteria checklist is a list of required
standards for judging both performance and outputs. Instruct your trainees to always
check the criteria while they are practicing. When they are confident that they can
perform the task based on set criteria, the trainee should be instructed to let you check
his performance. During this time, additional feedback can be provided by you.
8. Assess performance
Assessment should be a very important step in the teaching learning process. In

CBT it is recommended that written test, performance test and interview are the
methods of assessment for every competency learned. Assessment should cover the four
dimensions of competency – task skills, task management skills, job role and
environment and contingency management skills.

9. Enhance retention and transfer

Learning should not stop with the institutional competency evaluation.
Integration of knowledge learned from other competencies to skills in the other
competencies of the qualification should be provided to enhance retention and transfer.
Providing for supervised industry training or On-the-Job training would be a very
important practice.

Learning Stations
Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you should be able to identify different
set-up appropriate for the competencies of your qualification.
Learning station set-up is essential in training. In this lesson you will identify
learning stations appropriate for the acquisition of skills in each competency of your
qualification. Learning station set-up will depend on the skills to be practiced and the
activities to be performed.
Reading Area
Reading modules to acquire knowledge, for example, would only need the CBLM, a
table and chairs which are located in the components of the your workshop such as the
Learning Resource Area. The Computer Area may also provide additional reading materials
which can be searched from the internet or a part of your e-Learning Materials.
Simulators
Norton (1987) believes that participants in a competency-based training course

should learn in an environment that duplicates or simulates the work place. Richards
(1985) in writing about performance testing indicates that assessment of skills requires
tests using simulations (e.g., models and role plays) or work samples (i.e., performing
actual tasks under controlled conditions in either a laboratory or a job setting). Finally,
Delker (1990) in a study of business and industry found that the best approach for
training involved learner-centered instruction using print, instructional technology and
simulations.
Training simulators or mock-ups – this learning stations should closely micmic

or model the equipment and materials that are usually in a work area. You should be
able to identify what simulators needs to be set- up so as to provide actual practice of
skills within a competency.
The number of simulators or mock-ups will depend on the number of

machines used in your qualification.
Facilitating NTTA
March 2012
TrainingSessions
Developed by:
Role-play Area
Role-play areas should mimic the actual work area. As in a restaurant, the
essential parts and workstation arrangements should be a prime consideration in
setting-up the role-play area. The role-play area may not be the set-up of a whole
restaurant but the area where a Task is being done, as in serving a guest, including the
furnitures and other utensils should be physically present in order that the
performance of the trainee will not be limited by the absence of these materials.
Benchwork Area
Some qualifications would require a benchwork area to be set-up. This maybe

the common area where benchwork maybe done before the actual performance of a
task, operation or a job.
Other learning stations maybe set-up depending on the need of the qualification
you are teaching. Always consider setting-up at least one learning station particularly
for each competency. As much as possible avoid using the same station for two or more
competencies. Duplication of workstations or mock-ups is recommended to allow
trainees to have more practice of the skills.

Training Activity Matrix
After reading this Information Sheet you should be able to:

1. Plan the activities of each trainee using the training activity matrix 2. Prepare
training facilities and resources for training sessions
Training Facilities/Resources
In LO 5 of the Module on Planning Training Session you learned how to make an

inventory of your training resources and how to layout your workshop and your training
facilities. You also learned how to organize these resources for easy access and
maintenance. In this module, you will learn how to prepare training facilities and resources
based on session requirements.
In this section we will discuss how you will prepare the training facilities and
resources for your sessions for ease of access and use.
Your shop layout specified locations for your CBT areas and the learning stations
for each competency. Resources were also specified in your Job Sheets. These are your
reference materials in preparing them for your training sessions. Since your trainees are
working with different competencies at the same time, you should design a way such that
materials needed by trainees for their learning activities can easily be accessed. This is
the reason why each instructional sheet should have a list of training Facilities and
Resources. This will be the main basis for the preparation of training materials for the
day or the session.
Proper scheduling and management is the answer for the use of limited
equipment. The trainer should therefore schedule training activities based on both
current competencies of trainees and the availability of training resources making sure
that no trainee is idle.
The following Training Activity Matrix is recommended to schedule and monitor the
use of the facilities and resources. This Training Activity Matrix should work hand in
hand with your session plan. The session plan is a plan for the whole qualification and
for trainees with different learning styles while the training activity matrix is a daily plan
which will show the activities of each trainee.
This Matrix is a monitoring tool of trainees’ activities for the trainer. The Vocational
Instruction Supervisor and the administrators may also look for this matrix when
monitoring competency based trainings. This matrix, along with a well-prepared session
plan, is a good indicator that the training

Guidelines in making the Training Activity Matrix
1. Write the training activities for the session based on training needs and on
trainee’s chosen competency.
2. Based on the instructional sheet needed in the activity (Job Sheet, Task Sheet,
and Information Sheet) list down the facilities/Tools and Equipment needed for
the activity. The inventory of training supplies, tools, equipment and facilities is
very useful when planning for the activities of trainees in a class.
3. Instructional Sheet number should be specific.
4. Trainees should not be crowding in a workstation/area. Limit the number of
trainees to 5 and below per work station/learning area.
5. Ensure full utilization of equipment/work area. Avoid limited number of
equipments to be idle to prevent crowding of trainees.
6. Date and time of use should be specified.
7. Remarks should be made on the activity of each trainee. This will be your
guide in planning for the activities of your trainees the next sessions. You
may include the following remarks “for assessment”, “to be assisted by
(name of a peer mentor)”, “needs more practice of Job Sheet #” and any
other comments pertaining to the training of each trainee.
8. The number workstations will vary depending on the number of workstations
in the CBT Layout. Number of workstations may also be dependent on the
number of mock-ups per competency.
It is recommended that this training matrix be accomplished as guide in

scheduling trainees every training session. This is an additional tool in monitoring
trainee’s activities and the use of facilities, tools, supplies and materials.

After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you should be able to: 1.
define RPL;
2. enumerate the advantages of RPL;
3. determine evidences of competency; and
4. identify the criteria for assessing evidences of prior learning.
Before starting training, you should recognize prior learning of your trainees so
that skills previously learned will not be trained anymore. Training should focus on
the things that are not yet known by the trainee. This will make CBT more interesting
to your trainees.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) refers to the acknowledgement of skills and
knowledge held as a result of formal training, work experience and/or life experience.
Recognition of prior learning or experience is a form of assessment used to determine
whether a person has achieved, through informal and formal learning and experience,
the required competence for entry and/or credit in a recognised course or training
program. (Rumsey 1994, p.15)
RPL is an essential component of competency-based training. It focuses on
current competency standards gained by individuals through:
∙ Work experience
∙ Life experience
∙ Formal training
∙ Informal training
Advantages of RPL
∙ RPL allows you to complete formal education in a shorter period of time

and at less cost.
∙ RPL means that you do not have to repeat or waste time learning what you
have already learned.
∙ RPL increases your career and education options through recognized skills
and knowledge.
Facilitating NTTA
March 2012
TrainingSessions
Developed by:
∙ RPL allows for fairer access to studies that you wish to undertake.
Evidences for RPL
A trainee needs to provide sufficient evidence of his knowledge and skills by
submitting relevant documents and/or materials. The integrity of the RPL process
cannot be compromised, therefore the burden is on the trainee to supply as much
evidence as possible but it is with the trainer to confirm trainee’s competence.
Evidence could consist of any or all of the following:
∙ formal statements of results
∙ examples of work or resources which you have produced ∙ performance
appraisal reports
∙ references from current or previous employers
∙ position descriptions/job role
∙ details of formal training, seminars, conferences and workshops you have

attended
∙ which are relevant to this qualification
∙ certificates of participation/achievements/awards/letters of
commendation
∙ video tapes, tape recordings and/or photographs of work activities
∙ specific details of work and/or participation in projects ∙ written
testimonials from managers or colleagues
∙ written validation from workplace supervisor
∙ documented workplace demonstration
RPL assessment
The process includes an assessment of skills and knowledge against the
elements and performance criteria of the relevant unit. Trainee’s competence will be
assessed against the following six criteria.
∙ Authenticity Does the trainee have evidence of his skills and knowledge?
(Include formal qualifications, position descriptions, references and any other
material to support the claim. The evidence must be authenticated by the
appropriate authority.)
∙ Currency Are the skills and knowledge used in the work force now?

∙ Validity Can the applicant demonstrate a skill required for the course?
(This may be necessary for practical units.)
The perceived benefits of RPL for participants:
∙ formal recognition of work and life skills
∙ elimination of redundant learning
∙ reduction in time spent in college
∙ boosted self-esteem
∙ more rapid access to higher paid and higher status jobs
The perceived benefits for the Training Institution:
∙ avoid wasting resources on retraining students who already ∙ possess
relevant skills and experience
∙ maximising places for those people who need training
∙ in the longer term, closer liaison with industry
The perceived benefits for employers:
∙ speedier training of employees
∙ continuity of staff
∙ more effective and efficient use of skills in the industry resulting in a

balance between labour supply and demand
∙ employees' study leave requirements and time away from the workplace

Pre-assessment
After reading this information sheet you should be able to:
1. identify and explain the purposes of pre-assessment;
2. enumerate the materials needed for pre-assessment.
In LO 1 of the module for Planning Training Sessions you were able to prepare the
gathering tools to determine trainee’s characteristics and their training needs. In this
module you will use the pre-assessment tools you prepared in Plan Training Session.
Pre-assessment is a very important process in CBT. This is very critical for the
identification of training needs and appropriate methods of training for each individual
trainee.
Purposes of pre-assessment
The following are some of the purposes of pre-assessment:
1. To determine trainee’s characteristics
Trainee’s characteristics are inputs in the preparation and scheduling of the
activities of each trainee. Training methods appropriate for the trainee will be
dependent on his characteristics and learning styles. In the Plan Training
Session, you were asked to prepare the Data Gathering Instrument for
Trainees Characteristics. This should be administered to each trainee for
reference.
2. To recognize prior learning
CBT recognizes prior learning. This is especially important when planning the
learning activities of each trainee. A pre-assessment is necessary to recognize the skills
that are already learned previously through training or experience of the trainee. Before
recognizing the prior learning however, pre-assessment should be done. It is
recommended that the following methods of assessment shall be done to ensure that
prior knowledge are recognized:
a. Self-assessment (use Form 4.1)
b. Portfolio assessment (use Form 4.2)
c. Interview (use the institutional competency evaluation tools) After the self-
assessment and portfolio assessment, it is necessary to

make sure the trainee has a prior learning for recognition. If in doubt about the
portfolio submitted, the ultimate test is to let him demonstrate the skill. Before the
demonstration however, it is more cost efficient to interview the trainee to establish
the possibility that he can demonstrate. The Institutional Competency Evaluation
Tool is the best source of the interview questions since these questions were based
on the evidence plan.
d. Demonstration method (use the institutional evaluation tools)
The ultimate test of competency is demonstration of skills.
The Institutional Competency Evaluation Tool is most
appropriate for this purpose.
Note: A Certificate of Achievement should be awarded to a trainee who has prior
learning. The Certificate is the proof of recognizing the prior learning.
3. To determine training needs (use Form 4.3 & Form 4.4)

After assessing the skills of the trainee, Forms 4.3 and 4.4 are used. This will
summarize the training needs of each trainee.
Pre-assessment Activities
1. Determine the time for each student to accomplish all forms. Write them
down on the board before the pre-assessment starts.
Nitko(2001, p.117) provides some estimates of time to complete various types of
questions for junior and senior high school students. Oosterhof(2001, p. 117), gives
similar estimates but indicates poor readers might need more time.
Type of Test Time to finish a question
True-False 15-30 seconds
Multiple Choice(recall questions 30-60 seconds

thatare brief)
More complex multiple choice 60-90 seconds
Multiple choice problems 2-5 minutes

withcalculations
Short answer(one word) 30-60 seconds
Short answer(longer than one word) 1-4 minutes
Matching(5 premises, 6 responses) 2-4 minutes
Short essays 15-20 minutes
Data analyses/graphing 15-25 minutes
Drawing models/labeling 20-30 minutes
Extended essays 35-50 minutes

2. Explain the purpose of the pre-assessment which are the following: a. To

determine the learner’s characteristics
b. To determine current competencies
c. To recognize prior learning
d. To determine training needs
e. The data gathered will be used to adjust learning methods,
facilities/resources to fit individual training needs
3. Plan adjustments for trainees special needs such as the following:
i. Providing written instructions for students with hearing problems
ii. Using large print, reading or recording the questions on audiotape (The
student could record the answers on tape.)
iii. Having an aide or assistant write/mark the answers for the student
who has coordination problems, or having the student record the
answers on audiotape or type answers
iv. Using written assessments for students with speech problems
v. Administering the test in sections if the entire test is too long.
vi. Asking the students to repeat the directions to make sure they
understand what to do
vii. Starting each sentence on a new line helps students identify it as a new
sentence Including an example with each type of question, showing how to
mark answers
4. Check to see that directions for marking or scoring (point values, etc.) are
included with each type of item.
5. Decide if students are to mark answers on the test, use a separate answer
sheet, or use a blank sheet of paper.
6. Make an answer key. (This is easy to do as you write the questions.)
7. Prepare the following forms for the pre-assessment for each student:
∙ Form 4.1
∙ Form 4.2
∙ Form 4.3

A trainer’s test administration procedures can have great impact on trainee’s test
performance. As you will see in the guidelines below, test administration involves more
than simply handling out and collecting the test.
1. Avoid instilling anxiety
2. Give as many of the necessary oral directions as possible before distributing
the tests, but keep them to a minimum.
3. Explain the purpose of the test.
4. Give test-taking hints about guessing, skipping and coming back, etc.
5. Tell students the amount of time allowed for the test. You may want to put the
length of time remaining for the test on the board. This can be changed
periodically to help students monitor their progress. If a clock is prominently
available, an alternative would be to write the time at which they must be
finished.
6. Tell the students how to signal you if they have a question.
7. Tell the students what to do with their papers when they are finished (how
papers are to be collected).
8. Tell the students what they are to do when they are finished, particularly if
they are to go on to another activity (also write these directions on the
chalkboard so they can refer back to them).
9. Rotate the method of distributing papers so you don't always start from the
left or the front row.
10. Make sure the room is well lighted and has a comfortable temperature.
11. If a student is absent, write his/her name on a blank copy of the test as
a reminder that it needs to be made up.
During Pre-assessment
1. Distribute the following:

2. Check the answers of the pre-test. This will be one of your basis in assigning
trainees in their work stations. This is also an input for the RPL.
3. Base on the data collected from Form 4.2 and the pre-test scores,
determine trainees who possibly have RPL.
4. Set a schedule for interview and demonstration for trainees who are
candidates for RPL.
5. After the interview and demonstration of skill, recognize prior learning by

different learning management tools should be prepared to help you manage your
learning session.
In CBT approach the trainees are given opportunities to learn in their own pace
but the trainer, like in any teaching-learning approach, is still an integral part in the
success of the trainees. All trainees may require guidance and support to actively
participate in the learning process. It is, therefore, very important for the trainee to know
exactly what you expect them to do.

The Competency Based Training Delivery approach should be explained so that
the trainee will know exactly what activities he needs to undergo to acquire the required
competencies. The diagram above shows the CBT process.
Managing CBT versus Traditional Programs

There is always a tendency for you, the trainer, to go back to the traditional
approach of teaching because of the Law or Primacy in learning. That is, the things
that are learned first are very difficult to re-learn but if you are aware of the
advantages of CBT you would be more conscious about this tendency.
The following table differentiates Traditional Approach and CBT Approach.

Role of the CBT Trainer
Your major role as the trainer is one of “coordinating learning activities” other than
traditional “dispensing of information”. Trainer in a CBT system spend the major portion
of training time giving demonstrations, assigning tasks to students, providing individual
and small group assistance, evaluating trainee’s progress and providing individual
consultation. The following functions outline the role of the trainer in learner-centered
instructional situations.
1. Serves as a team member to determine what is to be learned 2.

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

Role of the CBT Trainee

Competency Based Training is individualized and “Learner-centered”. Trainees,
therefore, pursue instructions for their personal goals and objectives. The trainee spends
most of his time in directed self-study and practice, supervised by the trainer who can
provide immediate assistance and feedback.
In CBT, Trainees have the following roles:
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.
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 style and other needs.
8. Trainees compete against pres 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

The diagram on the Competency Based Training Delivery would show how learning
in a CBT approach is undergone. After discussing the Trainer’s and the Trainee’s Role in
the acquisition of learning, the trainee should be oriented on his training environment
which include the workshop, the facilities and the training resources available.

Feedback Mechanism
Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to: 1.
explain the importance of feedback in effective learning process; 2.
enumerate and explain feedback strategies.
What is Feedback?
Feedback is a dialogue between people which reflects back how another person sees
someone else behavior or performance. As people we get feedback from the way people
react to us. As managers, coaches, trainers and peers we may have more formal
conversations about performance, or how someone could carry out an aspect of their job
role more effectively.
Types of Feedback
Positive Feedback – serves to sustain behavior that is appropriate and effective.
Negative or coercive Feedback – serves to change behavior that is
inappropriate or ineffective.
Principles in Giving Effective Feedback
∙ Give feedback only when asked to do so or when your offer is accepted.
∙ Give feedback as soon after the event as possible.
∙ Focus on the positive.
∙ Feedback needs to be given privately wherever possible, especially more

negative feedback.
∙ Feedback needs to be part of the overall communication process and

‘developmental dialogue’. Use skills such as rapport or mirroring,
developing respect and trust with the learner.
∙ Stay in the ‘here and now’ don’t bring up old concerns or previous
mistakes, unless this is to highlight a pattern of behaviors.
∙ Focus on behaviors that can be changed, not personality traits.
∙ Talk about and describe specific behaviors, giving examples where possible
and do not evaluate or assume motives.

NTTA

TrainingSessions
Developed by:
∙ Use ‘I’ and give your experience of the behavior (‘when you said…, I thought
that you were…’).
∙ When giving negative feedback, suggest alternative behaviors.
∙ Feedback is for the recipient, not the giver – be sensitive to the impact of
your message.
∙ Consider the content of the message, the process of giving feedback and the
congruence between your verbal and non- verbal messages.
∙ Encourage reflection. This will involve posing open questions such as:
(a) Did it go as planned? If not why not?
(b) If you were doing it again what would you do the same next time
and what would you do differently? Why?
(c) How did you feel during the session? How would you feel
about doing it again?
(d) How do you think the patient felt? What makes you think that?
(e) What did you learn from this session?
∙ Be clear about what you are giving feedback on and link this to the learner’s
overall professional development and/or intended programme outcomes.
∙ Do not overload – identify two or three key messages that you summarize at
the end.

Feedback Strategies
Characteristics Purpose
Timing For students to get feedback while they are still

mindfulof the learning target.
For student to get feedback while there is still time
forthem to act on it.
Amount For students to get enough feedback so that
theyunderstand what to do but not so much that the
workhas been done for them (differs case by case).
For students to get feedback on “teachable
moment”points but not an overwhelming number.
Mode To communicate the feedback message in the

mostappropriate way.
The following tools provides written feedback about

To make observation about students’ learning
processesand strategies that will help them figure out
how toimprove.
To foster student-efficacy by drawing
connectionsbetween students’ work and their mindful,
intentionalefforts.
To avoid personal comments.

Characteristics Purpose
Comparison Usually, to compare student work with

establishedcriteria.
Sometimes, to compare a student’s work with his or
herown past performance.
Rarely, to compare a student’s work with the work
ofother students.
Function To describe student work.

To avoid evaluating or “judging” student work in a
waythat would stop students from trying to improve.
Valence To use positive comments that describe what is
welldone.
To make suggestions about what could be done
forimprovement.
Barriers in Giving Feedback
∙ A fear of upsetting the trainee or damaging the trainee–trainer relationship
∙ A fear of doing more harm than good
∙ The trainee being resistant or defensive when receiving

criticism. Poor handling of a reaction to negative feedback can result in
feedback being disregarded thereafter
∙ Feedback being too generalized and not related to specific facts or

observations
∙ Feedback not giving guidance on how to rectify behavior
∙ Inconsistent feedback from multiple sources
∙ A lack of respect for the source of feedback.
The Role of Feedback in Learning

Learning involves the interaction of new information provided by instruction with
existing information already in the trainee’s memory. Feedback’s role in the learning
process is not simply information processing, but a more complex milieu with feedback
having an influence on the learner’s affective and motivational processes, along with
cues, participation, and reinforcement as one of his four elements to determine the
quality of
