Preparing individuals for the world of work and the
challenges associated with it, is a major objective of
technical vocational education and training (TVET).
Thus, as the government agency mandated to manage
the TVET sector, TESDA has to guarantee as well the
availability of qualified and competent skilled workers
to meet industry demands.

To ensure that tech-voc trainees receive the skills and


knowledge needed by industry and employers, competency-based curricula (CBC)
that strictly follow TESDA’s Training Regulations are required for the implementation
of training programs.

This Manual in the Development of Competency-based Curriculum for Area-


based, Demand-Driven TVET has been prepared for tech-voc training implementers
in the field, who are expected to provide sound guidance in the development of TVET
programs focused on producing correctly skilled workers in a specific area or locality.

I would like to thank and congratulate the National Institute for Skills
Development (NITESD) for completing this manual, despite the hurdles brought about
by the COVID-19 pandemic. May this publication motivate all of us to work towards
providing quality, area-based and demand-driven TVET to our kababayans.

TESDA Director General
FROM THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR GENERAL FOR POLICIES AND PLANNING

TVET trends around the globe are rapidly changing. Various strategies and new
paradigms arise. To maintain TESDA’s relevance as the authority in TVET it needs to
be flexible and agile, and at the same time continuously strengthen its quality
assurance mechanism for quality and relevant program delivery.

The development of Manual in the Development of Competency-based Curriculum for


Area-based, Demand-Driven TVET is aimed to document the process and to serve as
a guide to our trainers and learning facilitators in the delivery of quality TVET
programs. It highlights instructions on how to integrate STEM knowledge and skills
allowing TVET learners' competencies to be more resilient and sustainable during this
time of digitalization and automation.

However, this manual is only as good as how our trainers and learning facilitators
apply and use it in their training delivery. Thus, I encourage everyone, especially our
trainers and learning facilitators to popularize and use this document.

ROSANNA A. URDANETA, CESO II


Deputy Director General for Policies and Planning
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF NITESD

The National Institute for Technical Education and Skills Development


(NITESD) has been mandated to lead the development of education technologies for
technical vocational education and training (TVET) delivery. Its concentration includes
curriculum and learning materials development, the research and development of
learning delivery models, innovation technologies, greening systems, as well as the
development of teaching and non-teaching personnel.

Highlighting on the function of the Institute on curriculum development led by


the Curriculum and Training Aids Development Division (CTADD), the division has
formulated specific processes on development of Competency-based Curriculum,
Competency-based Learning Materials, and PQF Level 5 (Diploma) Programs to aid
in evaluation, registration and recognition of TVET programs in the field. To ensure
synchronized implementation, it has brought pride to the Institute in the development
of manuals that would serve as guides to our field implementers.

It is an honor and privilege to have witnessed the realization of this Manual for the
Development of Competency-based Curriculum for Area-based, Demand-Driven
TVET. I congratulate the CTADD for keeping to the Institute’s commitment of ensuring
quality TVET for all.

DAVID B. BUNGALLON
Executive Director, NITESD
The Curriculum and Training Aids Division (CTADD) under the National Institute of
Technical Education and Skills Development (NITESD) acknowledges all the technical
experts who contributed in the creation of the Manual for the Development of
Competency-Based Curriculum for Area-Based Demand Driven TVET.

Special acknowledgement is given to the International Labour Organization (ILO) for


their continuous support and guidance to TESDA in all its endeavors.

This Manual was developed out of actual experiences of the curriculum development
team of CTADD, engaging different trainers, subject matter experts, curriculum
experts and facilitators from the different TVET institutions all over the regions in the
Philippines. The Manual aims to provide a ready reference for the ABDD TVET
implementers in the field, especially that there are new qualifications and emerging
skills that are becoming the focus of skills development in a locality.

The active participation of industry experts during the CBC development has made the
process of curriculum development more valid and reliable especially in the
identification of topics and learning activities in the Contextual Learning Matrix (CLM).
The CLM is a vital tool in analyzing the different STEM knowledge and STEM skills
that need to be unwrapped from the competency standards and translated in every
learning outcome of the CBC. The detail contents of the CBC, which emanated from
the careful analysis using the CLM, resulted to substantive learning contents and
activities that are engaging and experiential to our TVET learners.

This Manual on Development of Competency-Based Curriculum for Area-based
Demand Driven Approach is prepared by the Curriculum and Training Aids
Development Division (CTADD) of the National Institute for Technical Education and
Skills Development (NITESD) to provide complete guidance in the development of a
Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) for area-based demand driven TVET
programs.

The CBC is among the vital documents to support the Competency-Based Training
(CBT) approach and focuses on the knowledge, skills and attitude that a learner can
demonstrate – in a practical way – for a given qualification. This CBT approach is
being promoted by TESDA to address the gap between training and employment.

It is crucially important that the competencies resulting from area-based demand


driven TVET training programs are signaled by the industry, acknowledged and
matched with the specific responsibilities through skills development, and an adequate
strategy to undertake school to work transition.

This Manual on Development of Competency-Based Curriculum for Area-based


Demand Driven Approach sets out the specifications for the development of CBC. It
includes the following components and corresponding description:

The Manual on Development Competency-Based Curriculum for Area-based
Demand Driven Approach when utilize by specific locality, province or region would
result to a CBC that contains the minimum requirements of a TVET curriculum. It is
highly recommended that careful analysis of the Learning Outcomes (LO) per
identified Module using the Contextual Learning Matrix (CLM) to thoroughly dissect
each LO so that the important STEM knowledge and STEM skills are lifted up and the
necessary topics and appropriate learning activities are clearly identified. This activity
would be appropriately exercised with the persistent collaboration among industry
experts, trainers and curriculum developers so that substantial contents would be
integrated in the CBC format.

Because of the process, there would be two major documents comprising the CBC
namely the Course Design and the Module of instruction.

With the rise of dynamic and emerging technologies brought by area-


based/demand-driven TVET requirements in the regional and provincial levels, the
Users of this Manual on Development Competency-Based Curriculum for Area-based
Demand Driven Approach may constantly review and update this document
depending on the needs to ensure the delivery of quality TVET programs.

We, in CTADD/NITESD would welcome such improvement!

1. BACKGROUND

Preparing an individual to the world of work and the challenges associated with
it has always been the major goal of the Technical Vocational Education and Training
(UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre). TVET should be responsive enough to
provide the needed human capital for economic development of one nation.

In Philippine setting, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority


(TESDA) as the authority in TVET, has always started in designing TVET programs
with the question “What jobs are needed, what jobs lack qualified workers for the
present and future”. The demand for a competent and globally competitive middle-
level workforce has been increasing both in domestic and international labor markets.
TESDA, as the government agency, mainly responsible for managing technical-
vocational education and training (TVET) sector, has to guarantee the availability of
qualified and competent skilled workers to meet this demand and to contribute to the
development of the country's economy. The competency-based curriculum
development process that TESDA is implementing at present has always been
demand-driven. The activity always starts with the identification of skills requirements
of the industry and translating it into a nationally agreed Competency Standards.

Competency Standards and Training Regulations

TESDA develops the competency standards (CS) for middle-level skilled


workers. These are in the form of units of competency containing descriptors for
acceptable work performance. These are packaged into qualifications corresponding
to critical jobs and occupations in the priority industry sectors. The qualifications
correspond to a specific level in the Philippine TVET Qualifications Framework
(PTQF). The competency standards, together with the training standards and
assessment arrangements, comprise the national training regulations (TR)
promulgated by the TESDA Board. The TRs serve as the basis for registration and
delivery of TVET programs, competency assessment and certification and
development of curricula for the specific qualification.

4
Competency-Based Curriculum

A Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is a framework or guide for the


subsequent detailed development of competencies, associated methodologies,
training and assessment resources. It specifies the outcomes, which are consistent
with the requirements of the workplace as agreed through the industry or community
consultations. A CBC can be developed immediately when competency standards
exist. When competency standards do not exist, curriculum developers need to define
well the learning outcomes to be attained. The standard of performance required must
be appropriate to industry and occupational needs through the industry/enterprise or
specified client group consultations. CBC is one of the basic requirements in the
program registration of training providers.

Area-based and demand-driven TVET


Area-based and demand-driven TVET highly regards the critical needs in the
industries and employers to produce rightfully developed skilled workers in specific
areas of the locality. This is in consonance with the NTESDP 2018-2022, which
highlights that the delivery of TVET programs must be in accordance with the identified
skills priorities and skills needs on emerging technologies in the specific communities.
The major TESDA processes of the area-based and demand-driven TVET lead to the
development and delivery of TVET programs to respond to the identified priority and
emerging skills at the national and local levels, to wit:
1. Skills Mapping;
2. CS and CBC Development;
3. Capability Build up Program for Trainers; and
4. Program Registration.
Because of its stake in the CBC development, the Curriculum and Training Aids
Development Division (CTADD) under the National Institute for Technical Education
and Skills Development (NITESD), is responsible for the development of curriculum
exemplars. It contains all essential information vital in the development of
Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which is a primary requirement in the
implementation of training programs. The CBC is designed for a tech-voc training
program and is directly related to developing tech-voc graduates to perform
competently in the workplace. The use of this manual can help to assist our tech-voc
providers in the development of emerging demand-driven technologies in their areas.

on how a competency is to be learned by an individual would play a very vital
role in crafting the curriculum. The trainer, as the main actor in the CBC
development shall prepare, plan, implement, and evaluate the developed CBC
together with the curriculum development team.
Contextual Learning Matrix (CLM) - Contextual Learning Matrix is a document
containing detailed information pertaining to a particular trade which can be
used for training purposes. It analyzes curriculum concepts of technology,
science, math, communication, environmental issues, and STEM with
integration of 21st Century Skills (CLM Manual).

3. PURPOSE, SCOPE, AND RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 Purpose
The procedure aims to standardize the process and assist the curriculum
developers, trainers, and industry experts (in all sectors) engaged in technical
and vocational education and training (TVET) sector to develop competency-
based curricula for program registration and implementation based on the
following contexts:
• Training Regulations and Competency Standards developed by Qualifications
Standards Office (QSO)
• Conversion of content-based curriculum;
• Policy and Guidelines; and
• Emerging Technologies; and
• Area-based demand driven approach

3.2 Scope
This procedure covers and outlines the steps in the process of aligning the
promulgated Training Regulation or Competency Standards into Competency
Based Curriculum (CBC). Provided also are the stages of the development
process, responsibilities of the involved actors and content evaluation. The
procedures manual must be followed by the curriculum development teams
within training providers or enterprises.

3.3 Responsibilities
• Team Leader / Implementation of the procedure
The Vocational Instruction Supervisor (VIS) or equivalent shall be the leader of
a TTI / TVI curriculum development team who is responsible for the
implementation of the procedure. TESDA regional and provincial offices will
assist TVET providers and enterprises in the development of CBC registration.
The CBC development involves people that are knowledgeable in curriculum
design as well as technical expertise. NITESD CTADD is responsible for the
capability building on curriculum and training materials development of the
regional and provincial focal. Curriculum development should be innate to every
Trainer, as this is one of their functions under TM Level II.

10
• Content Expert / Trainers
The Regional Lead Trainers (RLT) who undergone assessment on the specific
CS or Qualification and have current industry experience (on the competency
to be translated into a curriculum) and has training methodology on how a
competency is to be learned by an individual would play a very vital role in
crafting the curriculum. The trainer, as the main actor in the CBC development
shall prepare, plan, implement, and evaluate the developed CBC together with
the curriculum development team.

• Industry Experts
Practitioners or experts from the industry play an important role, especially
when the competency to be translated into a curriculum is new or considered
as an emerging technology and would require current information on how these
competencies are being practiced in the workplace. They can share their
expertise in the development of a curriculum for certain qualifications. Their
lifelong experience can be of great help in identifying the tasks and
competencies that are covered in a certain qualification which can be converted
into a training curriculum. These industry experts can be from supervisors,
workers, and industry association representatives.

• Curriculum experts
They work closely with trainers and industry experts to design and roll out a
curriculum that provides learners with a high-quality education. Additionally,
curriculum developers are responsible for updating training documents on a
consistent basis and working closely with industry experts to evaluate and
revise training tools as appropriate. Perform tasks in documenting and
packaging the developed CBC

7. COMPETENCY-BASED CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
FRAMEWORK

The Training Regulation or Competency Standard is translated into a


Curriculum through application of deep analysis of each of the TR/CS components for
clearer understanding of particular competence to be established.

A competency-based curriculum sets out the specifications for a course or


subject (module) which describes all the training experiences a trainee or learner
undergoes, it generally includes learning outcomes, contents, conditions,
methodologies and assessment methods.
The Module Structure of a training for one unit of competency can be composed
of one module of instruction (one unit, one module of instruction) or more than one
module of instruction (one unit, several modules of instruction). The illustration below
shows the possible module structures.

23
Linking Competency-Based Curriculum with Competency Standard

Analysis starts from the Title of the Unit of Competency, its descriptor on what,
when and where the competency is being performed; its elements and corresponding
Performance Criteria, which basically provide the standard of performance in terms of
process, time and safety among others. The range of variables usually tells the
different context of application of the competency as highlighted in the performance
criteria. The evidence guide portion will provide information on the critical aspect of
competency. The method of assessment as well as the resources needed when
conducting the assessment.

Translating skills requirement into competency-based curriculum

Identifying the training skills requirements, one must consider defining the target
population for training, listing the competencies to be performed by the target
population for a certain qualification, listing the skills and knowledge needed to do the
competencies, and selecting the skills and knowledge to be taught that makes up the
training objective. Identifying the training requirements can be difficult to build a big
picture of the job. The “elicitation” step is where the training requirements are first
gathered from the experts. Many techniques are available for gathering training
requirements. Each has value in certain circumstances, and in many cases, there is a
need to use different methods or combinations of methods to gain a complete picture
from a diverse set of experts and stakeholders.

24
THE COMPONENTS OF

8. THE COMPONENTS OF TRAINING REGULATIONS
The Training Regulations (TR) serve as basis for the:
1. Competency assessment and certification;
2. Registration and delivery of training programs; and
3. Development of curriculum and assessment instruments.

Each TR has four sections:

STEM KNOWLEDGE
Descriptor - Disciplinal knowledge means subject-specific understanding of concepts,
theories, principles, laws, and contexts of Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics. Transdisciplinary knowledge refers to the
integrative understanding of the useful and most relevant content and
techniques from the STEM disciplines to be able to solve work-related
and other real- world problems.

THINKING SKILLS
Descriptor- involve skills for sense-making to be able to solve problems, understand
connections, make informed decisions, or innovate for the improvement
of personal, community, workplace, and regional/national contexts.

The integration of STEM in TVET can still be maximized and optimized by venturing
beyond the STEM knowledge. Because STEM is beyond knowledge if it applies more
integration of application. For example, the trainee may forget a certain term or
concepts in STEM but if they have STEM thinking skills this can make a lot of
difference and take them far beyond knowledge. Thinking skills is transferrable, it can
cut across sectors. For example, if the trainee will change jobs, if they have those
thinking skills coming from the map and which are developed from STEM they can be
flexible in terms of skills and knowledge in the workplace

The STEM thinking Skills
National development agenda across the world have consistently pushed for
the delivery of STEM skills for the economy. It is considered a critical impetus for
innovation to ensure competitiveness and growth of a nation. With rapid
advancements in technology, changing dynamics of industries, and more recently, a
serious threat of health outbreaks, it is imperative that human capital development for
STEM must include technical vocational education and training (TVET) and other
forms of continuing adult education. STEM education develops skills that are difficult
to automate and are intuitively oriented toward innovation. Traditionally, innovations
and discoveries are associated with STEM professionals with university degrees
because they have always been at the forefront. However, innovation hubs and
research facilities cannot operate without the capable hands of STEM technologists,
technicians, and tradespeople. They are the hidden force that drives a STEM-based
economy. It is but natural for them to troubleshoot and hence, engage in problem
solving that may be more technical in nature and may require tools in the process.
They also understand how a malfunction in one unit can affect the entire system and
therefore, disrupt the whole production line. These scenarios illustrate problem
solving, critical thinking, and systems thinking, which are all STEM skills. Therefore,
STEM skills are already in TVET competencies, however they are not articulated and
explicitly related to its importance in the workplace. Moreover, without being clear on
what the STEM skills are in TVET, it is more likely that effective pedagogies are not
being utilized in training delivery. Thus, it is important to understand STEM skills in
TVET that must be prioritized in relation to the future of work as well as identify
effective pedagogies given the emerging trends in vocational education and training.
(STEM in TVET: Learning Design Framework)

STEM in TVETPH 4.0 Strategies


In 2019, the Philippine Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) launched its Fourth Industrial Revolution Framework that outlines its TVET
strategies for meeting the demands of IR 4.0 that will make the Philippines IR4.0-
ready. The goal of the framework is to produce IR4.0-ready learners who are equipped
with essential, STEM-related, and socio-emotional skills such as: complex problem-

60
solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management, coordinating with other,
emotional intelligence, judgment and decision-making, service orientation,
negotiation, and cognitive flexibility.

The initial step that has been taken by TESDA in STEMifying TVET is to
develop a Contextual Learning Matrix (CLM). The purpose of the CLM is to connect to
basic, common, and core units of competency in the areas of mathematics, science,
and language to relevant contexts as well as emerging fields of green technology,
STEM knowledge and skill particularly thinking skills, and inclusive training delivery.
(STEM in TVET: Learning Design Framework)

11. DEVELOPMENT OF CONTEXTUAL
LEARNING MATRIX (CLM)
The purpose of using the Contextual Learning Matrix (CLM) in analyzing a
Learning Outcome (LO) is to ensure that each LO is deeply studied and the necessary
topics and learnings to be gained are clearly identified. A well-crafted CLM would result
to a very substantive topics and learning activities which takes into consideration the
STEM Knowledge and STEM Skills that would provide learners different and
interesting perspectives of learning a specific LO.

Inputs in Developing the CLM


• Training Regulation
• Competency Standard
• Existing Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)

Steps in developing the CLM

Step 1: Secure a copy of an existing Training Regulations or Competency Standards


(example: Web Development NC III) that matches the qualification you intend to
develop. Acquire a copy or design of the CLM form.

Step 6: See Example 4, the section 2 of TR/CS has required knowledge and skills
column. From this data, you can identify the appropriate concepts of Science,
technology/engineering, math, environmental issues, and STEM Skills particularly the
STEM thinking Skills. You may also find the related concepts from the CBC Contents
if there is an existing curriculum.

All contents in the learning concepts (STEM Knowledge) are taken from the
Required Knowledge and Required Skills in Section 2 of the TR/CS (see example
4). One of the assessment criteria “Task is planned to ensure OH&S guidelines
and procedures are followed” do not have any related contents identified in the
required knowledge and required skills in section 2 of the TR/CS therefore, the
content expert will analyze and identify concept related to this criterion. The
learning concept “Enterprise policy and guidelines on OH&S” is identified by the
content expert that is added to the learning concepts under environmental issues
and other concerns. In the Science row observe that there are no identified
concepts. It is ok to leave it blank because there are some instances that the
required knowledge and required skill are not applicable to science or other
concepts. Just take note of the important content that need to be fill out is the
assessment criteria.

Step 7: From the image of Example 7, the section 3 “training standards” of TR/CS the
learning activities are already identified. From this data you will identify the appropriate
learning activities to be fill out in each row of the learning outcome of the CLM. ·
Contents must be deeply analyzed to come up with substantive learning contents.

67
Example 7:

Step 8: The last column of the CLM is the estimated number of hours. The reference
of CLM contents is from the training regulation wherein there are already identified
nominal duration. The curriculum team will now deeply analyze the estimated number
of hours per learning outcome. On the other hand, the Competency Standard (CS) do
not have number of hours stated. Therefore, this application is helpful in identifying the
estimated time of each learning outcome. Then the total estimated time per learning
outcome will result into nominal duration of the qualification.

The contents in the learning activities column are taken in section 3 of the TR/CS.
However, the row of assessment criteria “Task is planned to ensure OH&S

Section 3 of the TR/CS, therefore the content experts will analyze and identify learning
activities in that particular criterion.

The CLM table shown above is a complete data of module Performing Computer

DEVELOPMENT OF
MODULES OF INSTRUCTION

70
12. DEVELOPMENT OF MODULES OF
INSTRUCTION

A module of Instruction is a self-contained material that includes one or more


units of competency with learning outcomes, appropriate learning materials and
methods, and associated criterion reference measures with valid institutional
assessment and method (TESDA, 2020). This document translates the competency
standards into instructional design in the form of modules.

One module to cover one

Clustered Units of Module multiple units of

Competencies (COCs)
________________

Figure1: Ways of packaging a Module of Instruction

In designing the CBC scope of module of instructions, it is important to observe the


pedagogical approach to make learning more focused and the assessment of learning
outcomes more precise and accurate. See examples in the next page:

71
Determining the number of modules in a specific competency will depend entirely on
the style of the developer in presenting training activities, either as a sole module or
breaking the learning activities.

Example 1 Example 2

Unit of Competency Unit of Competency


“Perform Computer “Perform Computer
Operations” Operations”

Analysis Analysis

Module of Module of Module of


Module of Instruction Instruction Instruction
Instruction “Using “Using Word “Using Word
“Performing Computer in Processing Processing
Computer
MS Windows Application” Application”
Operations”
GUI”

Figure 2: Example of Module of Instruction Analysis

Example 1, is an illustration of one module covering one unit of competency. This


packaging is used if the scope of the unit is manageable in terms of teaching/learning,
assessment, and the scope of learning. The scope of learning activities does not
require complex computer operations.

Example 2, on the other hand, is an illustration of multiple modules covering one unit
of competency. This packaging is used to develop a more focused skill in computer
operations. The assessment can now measure a more specific skill under the
computer operations.

In some cases, the unit of competency is fragmentized or too small that the learning
activities and assessment become unrealistic and impractical. As such, these units of

72
competency are covered in a single module. Similar treatment is done with cluster
units of Competency, provided that the learning activities it will still be manageable in
terms of teaching, learning and assessment.

The Unit of Competency and Module Title

Assigning module title is a little simpler than determining the number of modules per
unit of competency. It should have some influences on how the module is perceived
in the training sector. It should convey a clear message on what the module entails,
name providing a better indication of what the module is all about would be more
useful. The title gives idea on the skill to be developed in the module. As such, the
following should be observed:
• The statement of the title should be clear and concise, indicating the
skills to be developed.
• Since the title describe the skills to be developed, it should start with
action word/ gerund (verb that ends in -ing) to indicate that it is a
topic/title.
• It should be aligned or directly related to the unit of competency,
whenever applicable.
Example:
Unit of Competency: Perform Computer Operations
Possible title if one module will be covering Possible title if multiple modules will be
one unit of competency covering one unit of competency:

Performing Computer Operations • Using Computer in MS Windows


Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Environment
• Utilizing Word Processing
Application
• Utilizing Internet and Web-based
apps

As you can see, the module title is usually derived from the unit title or sometimes from
the element if the unit of competency is excessively large for a single module (Please
refer to page 62 of TM Level II CBLM). The module title describes the process,
procedures, or activity/ies resulting to a product or service leading to the achievements
of competency/ies specifies in the standard.

73
The Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria
Learning outcome is the intended result of learning. It is similar to a general objective
of a session plan. Each learning outcome can be gained from one training session
(lesson). You must write them in terms of what the learners will learn, acquire and
apply, keeping the statement clear and concise. Each learning outcome is described
separately, beginning with a verb. Learning outcomes need to have:
• a verb;
• a subject; and
• an object for the activity involved.

Example:
(refer to the Competency Standard of the unit, Web Development NC II)

Unit of Competency: Perform Computer Operations


Module Title: Performing Computer Operations

• Plan and prepare for task to be undertaken

Verb Subject Activity involved

Other examples of learning outcomes:


• Input data into computer
• Access information using computer
• Produce/output data using computer system

Writing a learning outcome


To write Learning Outcomes, answer the question, "What will learners are expected
to know and be able to do upon completing this module?" The following factors must
remember in describing a learning outcome.
• Each learning outcome consists of one verb, one subject and one object.
• Write in terms of what a learner will be able to do after completing the module,
and not what a learner undertaking the module will learn.
• Make sure that the statement says what the learners will be able to do, not what
they will know, or appreciate, or be aware of.

74
• Keep the statement clear and concise; do not use unnecessary words.
• Write learning outcomes that are directly relevant to the purpose of the module,
and are an essential building block in achieving it.

Indicators of a good Learning Outcome statement


1. It should be based on competency standard.
2. It is stated such that the learning will cover the three learning domains
(Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes).
3. Its statement is demonstrable and measurable.
4. It gives the reader a clear idea about the performance that needs to be done.
5. Appropriate verb is selected to describe the performances.

Analyze learning outcome using Contextual Learning Matrix (CLM)


The purpose of the CLM is to connect the basic, common, and core units of
competency in the areas of mathematics, science, and language to relevant contexts
as well as emerging fields of green technology, STEM knowledge and skills,
particularly thinking skills, and inclusive training delivery. New CLM with integration of
STEM in TVET can produce employability, proactive citizenship, and human
flourishing (STEM in TVET: Learning Design Framework). In identifying the STEM
skills of the identified unit of competency it can easily formulate and analyze learning
outcomes and contents using the CLM with integration of STEM Skills and knowledge.
See the Development of Contextual Learning Matrix CLM (p. 64-72).

A well-developed CLM which contains all the concepts required by the elements of the
unit of competency is an ideal reference in developing the competency-based
curriculum (CBC) which is used by training institutions for program registration. CLM
is also useful when formulating the institutional assessment (IA) and guides the
curriculum writer in developing the competency-based learning materials.

Specifying Assessment Criteria
Assessment Criteria are the key indicators of how well the learners have
achieved a learning outcome. They are the performance standards against which
achievement of the learning outcomes is judged. To help you determine whether the
statement of learning outcome covers the three learning domains, assessment criteria
need to be formulated.
Assessment criteria may Assessment criteria should
• Directly related to a learning outcome • Be measurable
• Specify required underpinning • Relevant to the learning outcome

• Related to process in some aspects of easily understood
the activity • Be essential factors used to judge
• Related to product in some aspects of whether or not a learner has
the result of the activity achieved a learning outcome.

Assessment criteria are used to guide the judgment of whether or not a learner has
achieved a learning outcome. It also defines the scope of a learning outcome. It is
stated in a passive voice. It must identify the object of performance, and the level of
performance. The object of performance describes what needs to be done and the
level of performance describes how it should be done or how well should it be done.

Example:
Competency Standard Competency Based Curriculum
Unit of Competency: Perform Computer Module Title: Performing Computer
Operations
Operations
LO1. Plan and prepare for task to be
Element: Plan and prepare for task to be

undertaken

Performance Criterion: Assessment Criterion:


1.1. Requirements of task are determined 1. Requirements of task are determined
according to job specifications according to job specifications.
1.2. Appropriate hardware and software are
2. Appropriate hardware and software are
selected according to task assigned and
required outcome selected according to task assigned and
required outcome

76
Assessment Criterion:
1. Requirements of task are determined according to job specifications.

Object of Performance Level of Standard

As you can see, the formulated assessment criterion is derived from the performance
criterion of the CS. “Requirements of task are determined according to job
specifications”.

Example of deriving multiple Assessment Criteria from one Performance


Criterion:

1. Appropriate software is selected according to task assigned and required outcome


2. Appropriate hardware is selected according to compatibility of the software

Observe also the assessment criteria, “Unit’s conformity with Appropriate software is
selected according to task assigned and required outcome”. These criteria were
derived from the performance criterion, “Appropriate hardware and software are
selected according to task assigned and required outcome”. If you notice, the criterion
was split into two. This is because the developer believes that; checking for software
requirements and hardware are two performances which need to be demonstrated
separately. This only implies that in formulating assessment criteria, a developer can
always add, remove or modify a performance criterion in order to assess better the
performance stated in the elements.
In formulating assessment criteria, it is important to consider the critical aspects of
competencies, underpinning knowledge and skills related to the element. (Developing
Training Curriculum CBLM)
The indicators of a good statement of assessment criteria are the following:
1. It should be based on competency standards
2. The performance that needs to be done is clear and specific
3. Its statement is demonstrable and measurable
4. The statement is composed of performance that needs to be done and the level
of performance.

77
5. It is stated in a passive voice of the sentence
Checking Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria
Assessment criteria should provide a satisfactory link between the learning outcome
and evidence of achievement of the learning outcome. To do this, assessment criteria
must be:
• Specific, so that both trainees and learners know exactly what is intended and
there is no ambiguity.
• Measurable, so that both trainees and learners can assess to what extent the
learners have achieved what they should be able to do.
• Achievable, because if the assessment criteria cannot be achieved by the
learners with some efforts, the learners will not be motivated to learn.
• Relevant, because satisfying the assessment criteria must make some
difference to the learner's ability to achieve the lesson outcome.
• Time-bounded, so that both the trainees and learners will know how learners
are progressing towards the outcome, as learning proceeds.

Learning Outcomes and Assessment Criteria must be written in ways that can be
assessed. SMART learning outcomes and assessment criteria tell learners what they
should be able to do, not what the trainer intends to achieve during the lesson. To
achieve SMART learning outcomes and assessment criteria, use 'action words' that
describe what the learner must be able to do, not 'abstract words' that are less specific
and may be misinterpreted.

Bloom’s Taxonomy table 1 shows list of action verbs that are grouped by their
definitions. This can guide developers in selecting the correct action verbs to use in
the formulation of learning outcomes and assessment criteria.

The Content
The content is a part of module of instruction that presents what the trainees
needs to learn (knowledge, skills and attitude) to attain the unit of competency. This
content can only be identified thru in-depth analysis of the competency standard.
Looking back at the illustration showing the relationship of the competency
standard with the module of instruction, you will notice that there are three sources
wherein you can identify the content, namely; the range of variables and evidence
guide from the competency standard, and from the assessment criteria of the modules
of instruction.
Let us now explore how you will get the content from those sources.
Range of variables
We all know that the italicized terms listed in the performance criteria of the
competency standard are elaborated in the range of variables. Those italicized words
can serve as source of content.

Example:
(Refer to the Competency Standard of the unit, Web Development NC II)
Qualification: Web Development NC III
Unit of Competency: Perform Computer Operations
Element: Plan and prepare for task to be undertaken
Performance Criteria: 1.2 Appropriate hardware and software are selected according to task assigned
and required outcome
Range of Variables:
VARIABLE RANGE
1. Hardware and 1.1. Personal computers
peripheral 1.2. Networked systems
devices 1.3. Communication equipment
1.4. Printers
1.5. Scanners
1.6. Keyboard
1.7. Mouse
2. Software Software includes the following but not limited to:
2.1. Word processing packages
2.2. Data base packages
2.3. Internet
2.4. Spreadsheets
3. OH & S 3.1. OHS guidelines
guidelines 3.2. Enterprise procedures

80
VARIABLE RANGE
4. Storage media Storage media include the following but not limited to:
4.1. CDs/DVDs
4.2. zip disks
4.3. hard disk drives, local and remote
4.4. USB drives
4.5. Cloud-based
5. Ergonomic 5.1 Types of equipment used
guidelines 5.2 Appropriate furniture
5.3 Seating posture
5.4 Lifting posture
5.5 Visual display unit screen brightness
6. Desktop icons Icons include the following but not limited to:
6.1 directories/folders
6.2 files
6.3 network devices
6.4 recycle bin
7. Maintenance 7.1 Creating more space in the hard disk
7.2 Reviewing programs
7.3 Deleting unwanted files
7.4 Backing up files
7.5 Checking hard drive for errors
7.6 Using up to date anti-virus programs
7.7 Cleaning dust from internal and external surfaces

In this Example you can already identify one of the contents is Hardware and Software.
Without this content you will not know what is to be monitored, as specified in the
performance criteria. By this analyzation the developer can now think of contents that
will lead on the learning outcomes.
The details cited in the developed CLM and concepts/tenets/principles
required by law must also be incorporated. Below are the list that can be embed in the
Curriculum.

Evidence Guide
The purpose of evidence guide is to guide the assessment of the unit of
competency in the workplace and/or training program. This evidence guide has six
parts, namely; critical aspect of the competency, underpinning knowledge,
underpinning skills, methods of assessment, resource implications, and context for
assessment. You can get the content for your module of instruction from the
underpinning knowledge and attitudes for the required knowledge and attitudes of the
unit of competency, and underpinning skills for the required skills of the unit of
competency.

Example:
Module title: Performing Computer Operations
Learning Outcome 1: Plan and Prepare for task to be undertaken
Assessment Criteria:
1. Requirements of task are determined according to job specifications.
2. Appropriate hardware and software are selected according to task assigned and
required outcome.
This assessment criterion is all about the hardware and software to be used in the
specific job requirement. So, if you want your trainees to learn identify appropriate
hardware and software on thing that you have to give to this is information about it.
The following can be included in the content:
Expected output of Contents
Module Title: Performing Computer Operations
CONTENTS:
• Main types of computers and basic features of different operating systems
• Main parts of a computer
• Information on hardware and software
• Data security guidelines

After identifying the content, you have to consider the following:


1. Arrange the content in sequence
2. Should be in line with intellectual capacities of targeted trainees.

83
3. indicative of approach from known to unknown, depict possibility of deeper
understanding of the content, be limited but highly inclusive

Identifying Methodologies
Training methodologies are methods and techniques to deliver learning
contents/activities.

Example: Lecture, demonstration, self-paced, group discussion


Training methodology can be identified based on the identified contents per
learning outcomes. The training methodology must not only be appropriate to cover
topics and content adequately, but also depict a process of discovery leading to
trainees’ ability to practice the skills and deeper understanding of content. Methods
are chosen in relation to objectives and content of training and must be indicative of
variety, mixing audio and visuals, as much as possible.
Training delivery methods consist of the techniques and materials used by
trainers to structure or design learning experiences. Different training delivery methods
may be better or worse for achieving various learning objectives. During the design
phase, the different training delivery methods are examined to determine their
appropriateness for the learning objectives. Once appropriate methods are identified,
they are applied to the training plan in the development phase.
Learners have different learning preferences and style on how they will receive
learning. Following are methods that a trainer may use.

Training Methods:
- Lecture - Modular self-paced
- Role Playing - Debate
- Group Discussion - Demonstration
- Forum - SLE
- Buzz Group - Practice
- Brainstorming - Public Speaking
In response to the challenges posed by the fourth industrial revolution (4IR),
and now with COVID-19 pandemic, the agency developed the Flexible Learning
Delivery (FLD) for implementation in the new normal through TESDA Circular No. 62,
s.2020. The FLD is composed of online, blended, distance, face-to-face (F2F), and

84
the combination of distance and F2F learning modalities, designed to provide a
conducive environment that is responsive to the shifting needs, requirements, and
conditions of TVET. This circular is requirements particularly the Competency Based
Curriculum that reflects Online Learning as the modality in delivering the TVET
program.
Flexible Learning Delivery Arrangements (TESDA Circular No. 62, s.2020)
• Face-to-face learning
• Online Learning
• Blended Learning
• Distance Learning
Example:
Module Title: Performing Computer Operations
METHODOLOGIES
• Self–paced
• Demonstration
• Discussion
• Blended-learning (Online Platform)

Conditions

The condition statement outlines the situations and contexts under which
learners will learn and be assessed. It gives an indication of the scope of the learning
outcome and what needs to be covered and assessed.

Conditions may cover such situations as facilities, equipment, range of


technology, particular types of locations, learning materials that may or may not be
used, access to reference material, various contexts and situations. Condition
statements provide flexibility to cope with local situations. They can either expand or
limit the intention of a learning outcome.

Use the 'Range of Variables' statements in the competency standards as a guide


when identifying a suitable range of facilities and equipment.
• List any essential facilities, equipment, tools, reference material that learners
will use during learning and/or assessment.

85
• Outline the situations and contexts within which the learners should achieve the
learning outcome. These should include the types of workplaces, range of
equipment to be used, use of technology, etc.

Example expected output


Module Title: Performing Computer Operations
CONDITIONS:
Students/ trainees must be provided with the
following.
• Computer hardware with peripheral devices
• Appropriate software

From this sample you will see that the tools and equipment that the learner should be
provided from the range of variables are analyzed and, in some point, summarize
some items such are USB, CD, and etc. into computer peripheral devices. The tools
and materials should be provided in order for the learner to perform the above-
mentioned learning outcome.

Assessment Methods
Assessment is often confused with evaluation, which is the assessment of the
merit or worth of something. In general, assessment is concerned with the learning
of the individual, while evaluation focuses on such things as educational programs or
courses. In competency-based training programs, judgments about a learner's
performance are made against specified assessment criteria. They are criterion
referenced rather than norm referenced.
There is a range of assessment methods that can be used to assess learner’s
achievement. These assessment methods can be grouped into different types which
vary in their objectivity; that is, the degree of judgement required by the person
carrying out the assessment.

As you can analyze the learning outcome, the assessment method is the judgement
tools to identify if the learner meets the outcome needed to perform in that unit. For
example, the module title performing computer operations assessment method above
shows that practical or hands-on assessment tool is need to judge the performance of
the learner as well are while performing it. As the trainer you will observe the learner
while questioning them to measure their knowledge in the particular learning outcome.

15. EVALUATION AND VALIDATION OF CBC

Curriculum development as we all know is a continuous process; it does not end


in its development stage to say that it is an effective one. There should be a
continuous process to meet its purpose-that is from development, to
implementation and evaluation and improvement. Evaluating the curriculum is the
process to check that it matches the requirements of the standards. Below shown
is the form of curriculum evaluation checklist used in the UTPRAS registration
process. Using the evaluation checklist enables one to easily assess the developed
curriculum by comparing each component or portion/statement with the descriptor
under the Evidence Column if it complies with the specific remark/evidence.

Curriculum Validation

Curriculum validation is the process through which independent experts in


relevant disciplines validate (i.e. the checking of the curriculum content for correctness
or for compliance). It ensures that those involved in this exercise were not involved in
the curriculum development or review exercise. The nature of a curriculum validation
often depends on the policy makers and other stakeholders (administrators,
teachers/trainers, students/trainees, industry experts, parents and communities) – to
inform future action. A newly developed curriculum should be pilot tested in order to
be validated. See Annex B page 122 for CBC Validation Questionnaire Format for
reference.

Purpose of Competency-Based Curriculum Validation


The competency-based curriculum is designed for tech-voc training programs.
It is directly related to developing tech-voc graduates to perform competently in the
workplace. The competency-based curriculum validation is done with the aim of
improving the effectiveness and efficiency of training programs. The validation is
based on qualitative and quantitative aspects of training of trainees after the try-out. If
the gathered data resulted/measured before and after the development of CBC, that
there is a learning and change in attitude that takes place to the trainees after the try-
out, then it can be inferred that there is impact on the developed competency-based
curriculum.

Conduct Validation
The CBC validation team conducts the validation as per predefined plan.
Generally, it begins by examining the CBC documents. It gathers information from
trainers, curriculum experts, and industry representative. The team reviews relevant
data (CLM and developed CBC). It conducts focused group discussion to draw
conclusions on significant and key issues. The validation team adopts unbiased
approach. They draw conclusion on the basis of data, facts, and reliable information
and not on the basis of significant few persons. They collect adequate evidences and
information from fairly good size of the sample to draw conclusions and make
recommendations. The validation use questionnaire in the conduct of the validation

Dear Ms. Sangcaon:
Greetings from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)!
Recently, there were Competency Standards (CS) deployed to the field as priority and
emerging technologies and would necessitate translation into training programs to
address the skills demand of these sectors. A very important step to undertake is the
development of competency-based curriculum (CBC) in order to promote the program
offering of these various technologies.
The National Institute for Technical Education and Skills Development (NITESD),
through the Curriculum and Training Aids Development Division (CTADD), shall hold
a series of online and offline activities comprising the Development of CBC
Exemplars based on the Competency Standards of Emerging Technologies. This
shall be participated in by industry experts and practitioners whose inputs are
contributory in determining the specifications of the training programs that would
satisfy the workforce needs of the industry. Likewise, trainers from the TESDA
Technology Institutions shall also take part in the activity since the CBC encapsulates
all the learning experiences a learner undergoes.
We have learned of your selfless involvement and invaluable contribution in the
development of competency standards (CS) on Beadworks Accessories Making
Level II. In this regard, may we invite you as our resource person to the
aforementioned activity which will be held starting the 1st week of November 2020.
The activity shall proceed using online and offline technologies such as emails,
messenger apps (FB and Viber), cloud computing, document processing and web
conferencing (e.g. Zoom, Google Meet, Teams). The necessary document, together
with the draft CBC in Beadworks Accessories Making Level II, shall be provided
upon your confirmation.
We have designated Ms. Agnes P. Panem, Chief TESD Specialist, CTADD (with
tel.nos. 09177283670 or email add: appanem@tesda.gov.ph), to coordinate with you
on the details of this request.
We are fervently hoping for your positive consideration on the matter.

Very truly yours,
