Evidence Plan

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to: 1.
explain the purpose of preparing an evidence plan;
2. determine the sources of the contents of the evidence plan;
3. identify methods appropriate for evaluating a performance criteria.

One essential part of the Competency-Based Training Delivery is the institutional

assessment. Assessment is the process of collecting evidence and making judgments on
whether competency has been achieved. The purpose of assessment is to confirm that
an individual can perform to the standards expected in the workplace as expressed in
the relevant
competency standards.
In this lesson you will learn how to prepare the evidence plan of your
competency.

The Evidence Plan

In developing evidence gathering tools for an institutional assessment, the
first stage is to prepare an evidence plan.
Evidence plans are designed to

∙ Serve as a planning tool

∙ Support the assessment process

∙ Assist with the collection of evidence

∙ Inform the learners of what is expected of them before they begin the assessment

∙ Serve as a guide for the trainer in determining the method of assessment to be

used
In making an Evidence Plan you should have the Competency Standards (CS) of
the chosen competency and the Evidence Plan Template.

 Critical aspects of competency are the performance criteria that are listed in the
evidence guide of the Competency Standard (CS) as critical. These criteria are
required to be demonstrated by the trainee for him to be evaluated as competent.
You should prepare an institutional competency assessment tool that will show
these evidences.

1. Competency Standard this is the title of your qualification

2. Unit of Competency the institutional evaluation tool is packaged by competency.

The name of the competency is written in this portion.

3. Evidence Requirements the criteria for judging the competency of the trainee.
These are written in the competency standards. Critical aspects of competency
should be marked with an asterisk (*). Refer to the CS for the identification of the
critical aspects of competency.

4. Methods of Assessment the methods of collecting evidences per each performance

criteria. At least 2 methods of assessment should be chosen for each criterion to allow
for corroboration of evidences.
Knowledge, skills and attitudes and the four dimensions of competency are to
be assessed. To do this, the following methods are recommended:
4.1 Written test to test the acquisition of knowledge
4.2 Performance test to test the demonstrated skills
4.2.1 Demonstration Method this is the method used when the performance
of a particular skill is to be assessed within the workshop.
4.2.2 Observation method is used when the assessment is done by
observing the trainee on the actual job site while
the trainee is doing his job.
4.2.3 Portfolio evaluation is used when projects or outputs are required to
collect evidences of competency. In Institutional Evaluation, we use the
 Performance Criteria
Checklist to evaluate the output/project.
4.3 Interview/questioning this is to verify evidences which are not clearly
demonstrated during performance test. This is also the part of the
competency evaluation where you can ask questions to verify Job Role and
Environment Management Skills and Contingency Management Skills.
