First Step: Prepare a
Training Session
In planning a training session there are things that we need to
consider so The questions I asked myself when I started writing the
Session Plan were, who are my trainees, what are their characteristics?
Are they visual, auditory or kinesthetic? What are their training needs? Do
they have prior learning about the qualification? Who are my target group,
are they high school students, out-of-school youths, college dropouts?
How much time do I need to carry out my learning activities? What are the
resources I need for my training? I get the answer to my question on who
are my trainees and what are their characteristics by administering pre-
assessment tools like trainee’s characteristics. With the data gathering
tool I was able to know the personal background of my trainees, their
experiences and their learning style whether auditory, visual or
kinesthetic. For their training needs, the self-assessment checklist helped
me know their acquired competencies and recognizing the prior learning
of the learner. For the time allocation and resources I need, I was able to
get the answer from the Training Regulations(TR), Competency Based
Curriculum (CBC) and Module of Instruction (MOI).The components of the
Session Plan are Sector, Qualification, Unit of Competency, Learning
Outcomes, Introduction, Learning Activities, Assessment Plan. For my
Qualification, which is Swine Production NC III, the sector is AGRI-FISHERY.
The qualification refers to the program or course. One unit of competency
of this is Raise Weanlings.. The learning outcome is the learning unit that
comprise the module. Introduction is the part of the session plan that
intends to motivate the student to learn. Learning activities are actions
the student will do to achieve the learning outcome stated in the module
of instruction.The assessment plan indicates the testing condition, the
venue of the evaluation, the type of assessment and the type of evidence
to be gathered.The factors I considered when I selected the training
method are the content, the objective, the cost, the target audience, the
time and the resources. I organized the learning events by following
Robert Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, which are Gain Attention,
Inform Learners of Objectives, Stimulate Recall of Prior Knowledge,
Present the Stimulus, Provide Guidance for Learning, Elicit Performance,
Provide Feedback, Assess Performance, and Enhance Retention and
Transfer. The assessment methods I choose for that particular session
plan are written test, demonstration with oral questioning, and portfolio
assessment. I used demonstration to measure Underpinning skills; written
test to measure underpinning knowledge; portfolio assessment to
measure underpinning knowledge and skills as attested by external party.
In consideration to validity in preparing the assessment tools, I made sure
that it is relevant to the competency standards and the dimensions of
competency. In considering its cost effectiveness, I made sure that the
assessment activity maximizes the use of resources and the assessment
tools scope all dimensions of competency given limited resources. It is
necessary to use table of specification to ensure the reliability and validity
of test items. The adult learning principles that was in my mind when I
prepared session plan was, adult learners are goal-oriented and needs
immediate feedback and they demands respect. Reflection The purpose of
preparing evidence plan is to give the trainer a guide in determining the
method of assessment to be used Competency Based Training is training
delivery approach that focuses on the competency development of the
learner as a result of the training. There are 10 principles of cbt namely:
training is based on curriculum developed from the competency
standards, learning is competency based or modular in structure, training
delivery is individualized and self-paced, Training is based on work that
must be performed.

Second Step: Facilitate
Training Session
Before the arrival of my students, I prepared the workshop by
setting up the training facilities (9 Components of CBT, Progress and
Achievement Charts, Training Activity Matrix, Projector, PC/Laptop)and the
simulated workstations. I also prepared and set-up the Practical work
area, Contextual learning area, Learning Resource area, Trainer’s
Resource area, Computer Laboratory and Quality Control Area and the
Tools, Equipment, Supplies and Materials according to learning activities.
Upon the arrival of the trainees, I checked the attendance, prepared the
pre- assessment instruments, oriented/discussed them about the
recognition of prior learning, discussed and administered pre-test, self-
assessment check and the data gathering tool for trainees
characteristics.I oriented the competency-based training delivery system,
the principles of CBT and the CBT process flow.I also oriented/discussed
the context and procedures of the bookkeeping NC III Qualification and
the units of competency.The result of the pre-training assessment helped
me in assigning the trainees to respective work area. The trainees with
very little knowledge about the qualification was assigned to the learning
resource area to read the CBLM, the visual learner was assigned to the
computer laboratory to watch video clips and other audio-visual
presentations. The kinesthetic trainee was assigned to the practical work
area.Each trainee was provided with learning materials appropriate the
training methods like leaf-learning materials for self paced learning, task
sheet, job sheet and operation sheet for demonstration and PowerPoint
presentations.I assisted learners to achieve learning outcomes by
discussing to them the learning methodologies as well as resources and
time allotment for each task. I give each trainee ample time to practice
the task before I let them demonstrate it.I also monitored work and
learning activities based on training plan. I discussed to them the training
activity matrix, progress chart and achievement chart.I checked and
evaluated work of every trainee and recorded their achievement and
progress on the achievement and progress charts. After the practice of
the trainee, I demonstrated the task and discussed how each process if
being carried out.

Third Step: Supervise
Work based Learning
.First thing you will do is searching for prospective industry partners,
sent proposal letter, set an appointment for presentation or orientation,
present the proposal to the company. Conduct site visit for work based
training plan, present the training plan and memorandum of agreement or
MOU for approval. Placement of the trainees in the industry. Coordination
and monitoring and work based training evaluation.
Yes, I will write a training plan because it will serves as a guide on
delivering a lesson to the learner throughout the training period.
By conducting an orientation to the trainees requirement and
procedures on the conduct of the Sent formal communication to the
company intending the reason that the students were having their job-
training in the company, upon the approval from the said company. A
memorandum of agreement should be prepared as a proof of agreement
between the school and the company.
The students’ performance is monitored by providing a trainee
record book with them, and should be graded or monitored by the
company representatives. Through this, the institution/school could
monitor the activities and progress of the learning of a trainee. The trainer
would give feedbacks to the students upon reporting to the institutions for
further instructions.
If the participating company will make an unfavorable remark about
the performance of the students what will you do? Identify the
unfavorable performance of the learner and let students review the task in
the school based training.
To test the effectivity o work based learning, an evaluation of the
conduct of the training should be done both on the attainment of the
objectives of the program and on program implementation. Monitoring
and evaluation reports communicated for purposes of improving the
program and the performance of trainees.

Drugs & other medical supplies
Procedure I follow in requesting for the purchase of additional tools,
equipment and machines, first I prepare a purchase request specifying the
date, the items and its specifications to be purchased, the unit cost, total
cost and the purpose of the purchase. I sign the purchase request and I
submit it to the Farm Manager for approval.5. The SOP of our institution
when equipment is found to be out of order, the Farm Manager orders the
trainer to prepare a written report specifying the problem and its
recommendations, then the Farm Manager orders the technician to check
the status of the equipment to verify the report of the trainer. If found to
be repairable, the equipment is repaired and if found unserviceable, a
purchase request is made for immediate replacement of the equipment.6.
The waste disposal system in our institution starts from the respective
workshop. Each workshop is provided with 3 medium-size trash bins in
color-codes, one is for biodegradable, one for non-biodegradable and one
for hazardous/infectious waste. From the workshop, it is transferred to a
bigger segregation trash bins. Biodegradable waste are put into a
compost pit, non-biodegradable are recycled and the hazardous are taken
by the municipal garbage collection for delivery to their materials
recovery facility or MRF.

Fifth Step: Conduct
Competency
Assessment
Prior to the assessment activity, I will review the assessment
guidelines and the assessment procedure. I will coordinate with the
Assessment Center Manager to confirm the schedule of assessment and
check the availability of the supplies, materials, tools and equipment in
the assessment center. I will also prepare myself especially on grooming
and will make sure to observe punctuality. Upon arrival at the assessment
venue, I will conduct site inspection and I will check the completeness of
the assessment resources. I will also check and ensure safe and
accessible assessment environment. Before the assessment begin, I will
check the assessment package if it contains enough copies for the
candidates. During the orientation, I will explain to the candidates the
context and physical setting of the assessment venue, the purpose of
assessment and certification and the legal and ethical responsibilities
associated with the assessment including their right to appeal, the
confidentiality of the assessment proceedings, free consent of the
candidates, transparency in reporting, recording and retrieval systems,
occupational health and safety and the integrity of the assessors. The
competency standards to be assessed, the qualification title and the unit
of competency will also be explained including the tasks to be performed,
evidences to be collected and the methods of assessment. The
assessment procedure with relevance to the assessment guidelines will
also be explained including how to establish the context and purpose of
assessment, preparing the candidates, gathering evidence, making
judgment, recording and reporting, providing feedback and reviewing the
assessment process. The orientation is part of preparing the candidate for
assessment. It is a means to make the candidate relax and not
apprehensive, to provide a supportive environment by allowing the
candidate to be clarified on the competencies to be assessed, the
assessment methods to be used, the flow of assessment and the
responsibilities of the people involved in the assessment. After the
orientation, I will determine the needs of the candidates by establishing
allowable adjustment on language, religion, culture, health condition and
disability, if there is. To make sure that the candidate taking the
assessment is the same person in the application form, I will ask the
candidates to submit their accomplished admission slip with ID picture,
present a valid ID, and I will ask them to sign the attendance sheet and I
will compare their signature with their signature in the admission slip.To
make sure that the candidate understands the tasks to be performed, I
will provide them copy of the specific instructions and I will allow them to
read the tasks to be performed. I will also explain to them their tasks to be
performed while they are reading the specific instructions. I will give them
time to clarify the task. While the candidates are performing their task, I
will gather evidences using assessment methods specified in the evidence
guide but I will not interrupt them, I will not ask questions and I will never
leave the assessment room. I will just record my observations and will
observesafety all the time and will stop the assessment only it it will result
to injury or loss of life and property. During the interview or oral
questioning, when the answer of the candidate is wrong, I will not provide
the correct answer immediately because that way, the assessor is already
giving feedback and it may pre-empt the answer to the next question and
the candidate may think that the assessment is already finished. The
bases of my decision will be the 4 dimensions of competency, the rules of
Evidence, the Evidence Requirements and the Corroboration of the
evidence to other evidences. If I am in doubt, I will make my decision
based on the evidences gathered in accordance to performance criteria. In
providing feedback, I will reinforce good performance, I will explain
specific areas for improvement, I will use the kiss before you kick plus
advice for re-assessment or the sandwich technique. I will also provide
advice on further training or practice to improve performance. In case the
candidate does not agree with my decision even after clear feedback I will
ask the candidate to identify area of disagreement and record it in rating
sheet for both of us to sign, prepare incident report and submit to TESDA
Representative.
