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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

2. DEFINITION OF TERMS
Area-based Skills Map - compilation of the skills requirements culled from different
references and mapping of the availability of TVET programs vis-a-vis the
industry requirements in the areas which also includes emerging skills and soft
skills requirements. (TC #001 s. 2021) This serves as an input to the National
Skills Map.
Assessment Criteria – the standards used to guide learning and to assess learner
achievement and/or to evaluate and certify competence. (SAQA 2013, South
Africa).
Assessment Method – a technique used in gathering different types of evidence
to evaluate a candidate for a particular qualification.
Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) - refers to the specifications for a program
or module, which describe all the learning experiences a learner undergoes. It
generally includes learning outcomes, contents, conditions, methodologies,
and assessment methods. It specifies outcomes, which are consistent with the
requirements of the workplace as defined in the TRs or based on industry or
community consultations and/or supported by a demand or employability study
for NTR. (TESDA Circular No. 7 s. 2016)
Competency Standard (CS) - a specification of performance determined by the
organization which sets out the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to
operate effectively in employment. Competency standards are made up of units
of competency, which are themselves made up of elements of competency,
together with performance criteria, a range of variables, and an evidence guide.
(TESDA Circular No. 119, s. 2019) (TESDA-OP-AS-0)
Conditions – specify the conditions under which the learning and assessment will
take place. This can include a list of tools and equipment, access to learning
resources and equipment manuals, and type of facility. This should specify the
scope or range of the equipment and facilities to be assessed.
Contents – specific knowledge, skills and attitude that are to be addressed within
this learning outcome.
Content Expert - The Regional Lead Trainers (RLT) who undergone assessment
on the specific CS or Qualification and have current industry experience (on the
6
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.
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).
Course Title –refers to the name of the program to be offered. It is usually derived
from the qualification title of the training regulations or it takes the qualification
title of the training regulations if the program is designed to cover the entire
qualification. (TESDA Procedures Manual on Program Registration).
Curriculum- systematic group of courses or sequences of subjects required for a)
a graduation or certification in a major field of study; b) or a general overall plan
of the content or specific materials of instruction that the school should offer the
student by way of qualifying him for graduation or certification of entrance into
a professional or vocational field; or c) a body of prescribed educational
experience under school supervision, designed to provide an individual with the
best possible training and experience to fit him for a trade or profession.
(Manual of Policies and Guidelines on the Establishment and Operation of
Public and Private TVET Institutions, First Ed., 2001)
Curriculum Development Team – a group of people organized to develop CBC
involve representatives from industry, curriculum developers and teachers or
trainers experienced in the field/industry sector.
Curriculum Exemplar - a model or sample of competency-based curriculum.
Emerging Technologies- abilities for which demand is increasing in existing or

know, understand and/or do as a result of a learning experience. (IRR of RA
No. 10968).
Methodologies - Instructional strategies utilized to facilitate the transfer of
knowledge to the learners, allowing them to perform the given tasks or work
activities according to defined standards.
Module Descriptor – Briefly describes the overall intentions of the modules, its
scope and delimitation.
Module Title – briefly describes the title of the module. Each course will have a
number of modules.
Nominal Duration – refers to the estimated learning hours, which indicate the time
for an average person to achieve the learning outcomes of the units of
competency, inclusive of classroom contact time,
laboratory/fieldwork/practicum and other methods of study/assignments as
defined in the Training Regulations (TR). (TESDA Circular No. 60 s. 2018).
Process Expert/Facilitator/Curriculum Experts - are people who know the series
of steps, procedures or actions that produce a change or development of CBC
in a particular field.
Sector - refers to a particularly large section of the economy categorized based on
the specific functions in the production phase and by kind of work which can be
classified as product, service or ownership e.g., Industry/agriculture service
sector. (TESDA Circular No. 070 s. 2019).
Supervised Industry Learning (SIL) - refers to an approach in learning designed
to complement the training gained in the institution with the intention of
enhancing the knowledge and skills of a learner through the actual application
of critical competencies in the workplace as identified in the Training
Regulations. It is commonly used as synonymous for On-The-Job Training
(OJT) and Supervised Industry Training (SIT), henceforth, for TVET, the term
OJT and SIT will be replaced with SIL to focus on the Learner’s enhancement
of critical competency in a workplace setting. (TESDA Circular No. 089 s. 2019).
Training Regulation (TR) -this refers to the package of qualifications, competency
standards, training standards, assessment and certification arrangements in a
specific sector promulgated by the TESDA Board for nationwide application.

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

FRAMEWORK
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

All contents in the learning concepts (STEM Knowledge) are taken from the

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. ·

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.

DEVELOPMENT OF
MODULES OF INSTRUCTION
70
12. DEVELOPMENT OF MODULES OF
INSTRUCTION
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
Analysis Analysis
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.
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:
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)
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.
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.

EVALUATION (CLM)

75
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
knowledge • Be clearly stated so that they are
• 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
undertaken
76
Assessment Criterion:
1. Requirements of task are determined according to job specifications.
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”.
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

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.
List of Contents

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

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.
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.

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.
87
Written Objective Tests - Supply Answer Type
• Calculations
• Completion
• Short Answer
Practical Test
• Simulated
• Structured Practical Exercises
• Fault Finding Exercises
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.

13. FINALIZATION OF MODULE OF
INSTRUCTION
After learning all the steps in analyzing each component of module of instruction, the
next step is to create all the units of competencies the complete set of modules of
instruction. Then it will be compiled to form one course design summarizing all the
contents of every module.
Example:
UNIT OF COMPETENCY: PERFORM COMPUTER OPERATIONS
MODULE TITLE: PERFORMING COMPUTER OPERATIONS
MODULE DESCRIPTOR: This module covers the knowledge, skills, (and) attitudes
and values needed to perform computer operations which include inputting,
accessing, producing and transferring data using the appropriate hardware and
software.
NOMINAL DURATION: 20 hours
SUMMARY OF LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of this module, the trained student must be able to:
LO1. Plan and prepare for task to be undertaken
LO2. Input data into computer
LO3. Access information using computer
LO4. Produce/output data using computer system
LO5. Maintain computer equipment and systems
The above sample are gathered from the identified contents that explained in the
development of modules of instruction.
The module descriptor can be derived from the unit descriptor of the TR/CS or
sometimes from the summary of learning outcomes if the relationship of the module
and standard is not one is to one.
The nominal duration per “Learning Outcome” are identified in the Section 3 of TR.

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
