INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENT
The questions in this workbook are divided into two categories.
The Knowledge Assessment covers generic underpinning knowledge of basic terms
and concepts relating to the relevant units of competency. These questions are all in a
short answer format. The longer questions requiring creative thought processes are
covered in the case studies assessment. You must answer all questions using
your own words. However, you may reference your learner guide and other online
or hard copy resources to complete this assessment.
Some questions cover processes you would be likely to encounter in a workplace.
Ideally, you should be able to answer these questions based on the processes that are
currently in place in your workplace. However, if you do not currently have access to a
workplace, then answer the questions based on processes that should be implemented
in a typical workplace setting.

WHAT IS COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT


The features of a competency based assessment system are:
• It is focused on what learners can do and whether it meets the criteria
specified by industry as competency standards.
• Assessment should mirror the environment the learner will encounter in
the workplace.
• Assessment criteria should be clearly stated to the learner at the
beginning of the learning process.
• Assessment should be holistic. That is it aims to assess as many elements
and/or units of competency as is feasible at one time.
• In competency assessment a learner receives one of only two outcomes –
competent or not yet competent.
• The basis of assessment is in applying knowledge for some purpose. In a
competency system, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is seen to be
ineffectual unless it assists a person to perform a task to the level required
in the workplace.
• The emphasis in assessment is on assessable outcomes that are clearly
stated for the trainer and learner. Assessable outcomes are tied to the
relevant industry competency standards where these exist. Where such
competencies do not exist, the outcomes are based upon those identified
in a training needs analysis.

Assessment Workbook 4 Version 1.2 Produced 24 July 2020

Definition of competency
Assessment in this context can be defined as:
• The fair, valid, reliable and flexible gathering and recording of evidence
to support judgement on whether competence has been achieved. Skills
and knowledge (developed either in a structured learning situation, at
work, or in some other context) are assessed against national standards
of competence required by industry, rather than compared with the skills
and knowledge of other learners.

THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSING


NATIONALLY RECOGNISED TRAINING
Developing and conducting assessment, in an Australian vocational education and
training context, is founded on a number of basic conventions:

The principles of assessment

• Assessment must be valid


o Assessment must include the full range of skills and knowledge
needed to demonstrate competency.
o Assessment must include the combination of knowledge and skills
with their practical application.
o Assessment, where possible, must include judgements based on
evidence drawn from a number of occasions and across a number of
contexts.
• Assessment must be reliable
o Assessment must be reliable and must be regularly reviewed to
ensure that assessors are making decisions in a consistent manner.
o Assessors must be trained in national competency standards for
assessors to ensure reliability.
• Assessment must be flexible
o Assessment, where possible, must cover both the on and off-the-job
components of training within a course.
o Assessment must provide for the recognition of knowledge, skills and
attitudes regardless of how they have been acquired.
o Assessment must be made accessible to learners though a variety of
delivery modes, so they can proceed through modularised training
packages to gain competencies.

Assessment Workbook 4 Version 1.2 Produced 24 July 2020


Page 5 © Compliant Learning Resources
• Assessment must be fair and equitable
o Assessment must be equitable to all groups of learners.
o Assessment procedures and criteria must be made clear to all
learners before assessment.
o Assessment must be mutually developed and agreed upon between
assessor and the assessed.
o Assessment must be able to be challenged. Appropriate mechanisms
must be made for reassessment as a result of challenge.

The rules of evidence (from Training in Australia by M Tovey, D Lawlor)

When collecting evidence there are certain rules that apply to that evidence. All
evidence must be valid, sufficient, authentic and current;
• Valid
o Evidence gathered should meet the requirements of the unit of
competency. This evidence should match, or at least reflect, the type
of performance that is to be assessed, whether it covers knowledge,
skills or attitudes.
• Sufficient
o This rule relates to the amount of evidence gathered. It is imperative
that enough evidence is gathered to satisfy the requirements that the
learner is competent across all aspects of the unit of competency.
• Authentic
o When evidence is gathered, the assessor must be satisfied that
evidence is the learner’s own work.
• Current
o This relates to the recency of the evidence and whether the evidence
relates to current abilities.

THE DIMENSIONS OF COMPETENCY


The national concept of competency includes all aspects of work performance, and not
only narrow task skills. The four dimensions of competency are:
• Task skills
• Task management skills
• Contingency management skills
• Job or role environment skills

REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT
Adapted Reasonable Adjustment in teaching, learning and assessment for learners
with a disability - November 2010 - Prepared by - Queensland VET Development
Centre
Reasonable adjustment in VET is the term applied to modifying the learning
environment or making changes to the training delivered to assist a learner with a
disability. A reasonable adjustment can be as simple as changing classrooms to be
closer to amenities, or installing a particular type of software on a computer for a
person with vision impairment.
Why make a reasonable adjustment?
We make reasonable adjustments in VET to make sure that learners with a disability
have:
• the same learning opportunities as learners without a disability
• the same opportunity to perform and complete assessments as those without a
disability.

Reasonable adjustment applied to participation in teaching, learning and


assessment activities can include:
• customising resources and assessment activities within the training package or
accredited course
• modifying the presentation medium
• learner support
• use of assistive / adaptive technologies
• making information accessible both prior to enrolment and during the course
• monitoring the adjustments to ensure learner needs continue to be met.

Assistive / Adaptive Technologies


Assistive / adaptive technology means ‘software or hardware that has been specifically
designed to assist people with disabilities in carrying out daily activities’ (World Wide
Web Consortium - W3C). It includes screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition
software, alternative keyboards, devices for grasping, visual alert systems, digital note
takers.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Reasonable adjustment made for collecting candidate assessment evidence must not
impact on the standard expected by the workplace, as expressed by the relevant Unit(s)
of Competency. E.g. If the assessment was gathering evidence of the candidates
competency in writing, allowing the candidate to complete the assessment verbally
would not be a valid assessment method. The method of assessment used by any
reasonable adjustment must still meet the competency requirements.

preferences in care. The person you are
assigned with is Eddie, an elderly person from
an Aboriginal background, and is having a
hearing loss due to ear infection.
You introduce yourself to Eddie with a smile
and he smiles back to you. Then you asked him
if it’s alright to ask him questions. He smiles
and nods his head. You asked him about his day
and he responds with a nod. You start asking
about how you could help him. Eddie looks at
Source: https://upload.wikimedia.org/
you and leans a little forward. You repeat the
question because you think that he did not hear
you well. Eddie shakes his head and looks down. You asked him if he could speak
English to which he looks unto you and shakes his head.
The policy and procedures in your workplace require you to seek immediate
assistance from an interpreter for this kind of situation.
Task 1
Answer the following questions.
1. Identify two (2) things in the scenario that can potentially lead to a
misunderstanding or difficulties in communication.

Page 22 © Compliant Learning Resources
Scenario 2
Eddie has been ill for the past few days and he refuses to take his medications. He
keeps telling the other support worker attending to him, through an interpreter, that
the centre is making him very sick. He says that bush medicine will make him feel
better as that is what they used in their community. He talks about his life in the
Country, how he loves to tend his land as it makes him feel strong.
He tells you that he misses his family and he wants to see his grandchildren. Eddie
asks the other worker every now and then when he can leave the centre. He is afraid
that he may not be able to leave the place and he wants to die in his own Country.
The support worker then suggested that maybe his grandchildren can visit him in
the centre. Eddie got upset when the worker said this. He told them not to take away
his grandchildren. Eddie wouldn’t speak with anyone again after that incident.
Task 3
Answer the following questions.
Identify three (3) impacts of social and cultural diversity portrayed in this scenario.
Guidance: You may refer to other resources about the Aboriginal culture to answer

Scenario 3
Eddie’s other support worker, Isabelle, has been stressing out. Isabelle says Eddie
would not cooperate with her. She approached one day to complain about the
situation. She says that she should not be assigned to a client who doesn’t speak
English and has a lot of considerations for treatment.
For this assessment, you are to demonstrate your communication skills in order to
address the conflict between Eddie and Isabelle.
Task 4
Role-play a conversation with Isabelle and record it in a video. Seek the assistance

Case Study 2: Javier
Scenario 1
You are working at a residential aged care
facility with a number of younger
workers. One of the residents is 7o-year
old Javier, who has been diagnosed for
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
He has been a chain smoker since he was
age 20. His treatment plan includes
avoidance of cigarette smoking.
One day, while you were assisting a client
for an early morning walk, you saw Javier
and two younger workers, Eli and
William, smoking vape (electronic
cigarette) in the designated smoking area
Source: www.pixabay.com of the facility.
When it was time for you to assist Javier, you told him you saw him smoking vape
with the young workers. You tell him about the health effects of using vape. Javier
says that it is better than using a real cigarette.
You know that if he continues to smoke, his health condition might worsen. In fact,
he has been coughing a lot lately and has been having chest pains despite taking
medications. He does not report this to the support workers who are also assisting
him as he fears that they will find out that he has been smoking again.
Task 1
Answer following questions.

Scenario 2
After talking with Javier, you decided to talk with the Eli and William, the workers
Javier has been smoking with.
You told Eli and William what would possibly happen to the Javier and to them as
workers if they did not stop smoking. Eli told you that they are just helping Javier
reserve his right as he wanted to smoke again.
The next day, just like nothing happened, you saw the Eli and William again with
Javier. You overheard from other workers that Javier has been giving them money
to buy liquid nicotine.
The service provider prohibits any staff in the facility from participating in any
substance use with the client including drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes. Moreover, staff
are to avoid any situations that will cause conflict of interest while performing their
duties in the facility.
According to your organisation’s policies and procedures, you are report instances
like this to your co-worker.
Task 2
Write a report to your supervisor informing him about the incident. In your report,
discuss any legal and ethical responsibilities that were breached in the scenario.
Discuss the actions you have taken and any feedback that you have identified.

Case Study 3: Janis
Janis is an 80-year old client in a Lotus Compassionate Care’s respite care facility.
She has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease about eight years ago, and is
showing signs of dementia. She stays at home with her youngest son, Ian, who serves
as her carer during weekends.
On weekdays, Ian brings his
mum to the facility as he has to
go to work.
You have been assigned to
provide care services for Janis.
Janis undergoes therapy at
least twice a week, usually
every Monday and Thursday.
She has been observed to be
Source: www.pixabay.com
cooperative with the therapist
and care workers, and shows a light disposition.
One Monday, her son Ian requested if he could watch over while his mum undergoes
therapy session as she is unwell. According to the organisation’s policies, carers of
clients are only allowed to watch their patients outside the therapy room. While the
therapy session is ongoing, you noticed that Ian is uneasy – he is pacing around the
room and peeks into the therapy room’s small window. After the therapy, the
specialist reports that Janis is unusually quiet today. You leave her to his son, as the
son requested that he talk with his mum.
A few minutes later, you see Ian storming out of the room, his face looking furious.
You walk over to Janis to ask what happened. She is hesitant at first, but she tells
you that her son is suggesting that she stays in the facility as he may not be able to
watch after her anymore. His son also told her that he would be managing the house
while she is away, so he asked her to provide access to her bank accounts so he could
also pay for her medications. Janis says that Ian probably got upset because she
couldn’t tell him the information about her accounts as she might be having memory
lapses. Janis further tells you not to speak about this with anyone.
Janis returns home with his son that weekend but is not around the following week.
His son tells you that his mum has become very ill and does not want to leave the
house. He promises to bring her next week.

Assessment Workbook 4 Version 1.2 Produced 24 July 2020


Page 30 © Compliant Learning Resources
Janis arrives at the respite care facility on the week advised. She is more quiet and
only stares or nods when you talk with her. She also seemed to have lost weight.
While helping her get dressed one morning, you noticed that she has bruises on her
wrists. She also has rashes on back. You ask Janis what happened and she tells you
that his son is getting stressed out with her and is drinking a lot lately. He asked her
one time to sign a document but her hands are having difficulty moving, so his son
gripped her hand. You ask her if she’s hurt but she says that she will be fine.
She feels sad because she wants to stay with her son. Her son also tells her not to call
him as he will be very busy.
You suspect that Janis is being abused by her son. Under your organisation’s policies
and procedures, any suspected abuse of clients, whether by their carer or support
staff in the facility, must be immediately reported to the supervisor.
Guidance: For the purpose of this assessment, the date that you are currently talking with
Janis is 23 May 20xx. The current time is 9:00 AM.

Task 1
Answer the following questions.
1. What are the indicators of risk affecting Janis in the scenario? Identify at least
two (2).

a)

Task 2
Role-play the last part of the scenario where you are speaking with Janis about the
suspected abuse. Your task is to show evidence that you can use effective
communication in the context of an aged care setting.
Use the following guidelines to complete the scenario:
• Janis asked you not to report about the bruises and rashes you found on her
body.
• She also asked you to call her son and tell him that she wishes to be home for
the weekend.
• She tells you that she wants to stay with her son because he is starting to
become an alcoholic and is going out with some friends whom she doesn’t like
As the care worker, you must be able to demonstrate the following:
• Appropriate use of verbal and non-verbal communication when speaking
with the client
• Listening to the client’s requests and clarifying what they meant
• Briefly discuss the service that the organisation can provide if she decides to
stay in a permanent residential care facility
• Ensure the client that you are maintaining the confidentiality of the
conversation
Enlist the assistance of at least one volunteer and video record this task to be
submitted to your assessor. Your video submission must be no more than 7 minutes
long.
Guidance: Any video submission longer than what is required will be marked as not
satisfactory.
Your assessor will be evaluating you based on the criteria of the Assessor’s Checklist
