Introduction

This Teacher’s Guide is developed to assist you in delivering the Basic Apparel Production Level I training program. It is usually designed as a resource to support the learning activity.

The Basic Apparel Production Level I Training is developed to equip the trainees with the required competences in drawing and interpreting basic sketch, taking body measurements, preparing basic pattern for apparels, cutting simple fabrics and lays, bundling and labelling cut fabrics, preparing sewing machines, sewing garment parts, operating specialized industrial machines, performing hand stitching, performing hand embroidery, performing garment product finishing, producing simple garments, performing industrial sewing machine minor servicing, applying quality standards, working with others, receiving and responding to workplace communication, demonstrating work values, and developing understanding of entrepreneurship. The Program is consists of eighteen (18) learning modules covering the eighteen (18) units of competence.

This teacher’s guide covers all the eighteen (18) learning modules and it will assist you in delivering the said program and achieving its learning objectives and outcomes. It also provides information in the organization of the learning guides and assessment packets. The learning guides are aid to the trainees by telling them what need to do, when and how to do it and the expectations once the learning activities are completed. While the assessment packet guide you in developing the tools or instruments to measure trainee’s overall achievement of the stated competence. Thus it is important for you to understand the design of this program and the mechanics in which it shall be delivered.

Training Mechanics

The Outcome-Based Training is one form of an independent learning approach. This approach enables trainees to be master of their own environment and in charge of their learning. It is also characterized by the integration of theory and application as two dimensions of an effective learning process. In this program, the competence-based system is consists of a combination of lecture-discussion, individualized learning activities, mentoring, field immersion and feedback.


Date: October 2013



In this program the trainees will be given individual learning guide to go through and accomplish. They will be instructed through this learning guide to accomplish learning activities as part of the mechanism for transfer of learning from the training situation to the job situation. For each competence area, trainees will formulate a specific learning plan as a guide for applying their learning to work setting and for their own continuing self-development. At this point, your role as the teacher/facilitator is to guide the trainee in preparing and accomplishing their plan.

Lecture and discussion of the topics outlined in the session plan should be performed first before the trainees are instructed to go to the workshop. You are also required to demonstrate the correct steps/procedures and techniques to your trainees before you let them practice. Insure that they are practicing safely.

Most part of the training activities will be conducted in the workshop for better development of specific skills. Aside from motivating them to relate concepts and skills to their own work situations, make sure to provide the necessary opportunity for competence practice and better internalization of such concepts and techniques. The trainees should also be provided the opportunity to blend with the actual working unit in the industry.

In this system, it is important to develop a sustained relationship with the trainees through a continued involvement, where you are to offer support, guidance and assistance as the trainee go through the learning activities and actual work.

With the mentoring approach, the trainees are grouped in learning teams with one facilitator-mentor per team. Before learning session or workshop start in the morning, each team and mentor meets to give feedback regarding their work, or how the group improves, acquire set of skills for the members to become more effective trainees. You are also to asses them at the end of each module. However, they have to be ready before the assessment and it should be them to request for it.

Before the training start you should conduct an orientation session to brief the trainees on how the training will proceed.
