Training Mechanics(The statements written below explain the delivery system of the program. They are

samples only. You can make your own design delivery but it must be approved by the institution management)

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 immersionand feedback. 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.


Institute

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.

Assessment Context There are two types of evaluation used in determining the extent to which learning outcomes are achieved. The specific learning outcomes are stated in the modules. In assessing them, verifiable and observable indicators and standards shall be used.

The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form part of the learning process. Formative evaluation provides the trainee with feedback regarding success or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It identifies the specific learning errors that need to be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful performance as well. For the trainer/facilitator, formative evaluation provides information for making instruction and remedial work more effective. In this


Institute

2017

program the LAP Test serves as the formative assessment. Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules of the program have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which competence have been achieved. This will be given in the form of written test for the underpinning knowledge and demonstration for the attitudes and skills portion. And, the result of the assessment decision shall be expressed in the term ‘competent or not yet competent’.

These two types of evaluation form part of the training and they are considered as institutional assessment. Evaluation Tools a) Formative Assessment
