Plan training session

In planning a training session, these are the questions that comes into my mind. What are
the learning styles that met the character, educational background, numeracy literacy, language
literacy, age, gender physical disabilities of the trainees? Are my learners having the prior learnings?

All this information can be extracted from the data gathering instrument for learners’
characteristics, self-assessment checklist, pretest and presenting the certificate of employment/
training.

The components of my session plan are the following; learning content, presentation,
practice, feedback, resources and time. The learning contents are comprising the elements to be
covered in the learning outcomes. Presentation, the learner is presented with ideas, concept or
process for the learning outcomes. Practice, the student has the opportunity to practice the
presented knowledge and skills. Resources, are the materials need to support and facilitate the
training like CBLM, pencil, drawing instrument and the like. Time although it is optional but still
necessary to know whether the learner is a slow or fast learner.

The factor I consider in selecting my training methods are the content, objective, resources
and time.

I organized my learning events by following the Gagne’s Principle. Gain Attention, informs
the learners of objective, stimulate recall prior learnings, present materials, provide guidance for
learning, elicit performance, provide feedback, assess performance and enhance retention and
transfer.

I chose the demonstration as my assessment method for this particular session because in
demonstration you evaluate trainee visually on how she/he the skill on the actual job site.

When preparing the assessment tools, I consider the validity and cost effectiveness by
preparing the evidence plan and table of specifications.

It is necessary to prepare the table of specifications when preparing the written test because
this will determine how many items of each test enough to cover the assessment base on the
evidence plan.
Facilitate learning Session

Before the arrival of the activities, I need to prepare the appropriate training
facilities/resources based on the session requirements. Learning stations are prepared and setup
according to learning activities. Pre-assessment tools are prepared and enough to the number of
trainees. Prepare the materials needed, facilities and administer RPL, Orientation, role of a trainer
and trainee.

In facilitating a learning session, these are the list of events happen. I introduce my self as
their trainer. Next, I introduce my training institution, check the attendance of the trainees. Next, is
to administer Pre-training assessment and RPL, conduct orientation of CBT, 10 principles, course
outline of the qualification. Tour the trainees for the 9 learning areas. Next Actual demonstration of
the trainee with RPL and followed the non RPL. Use Progress Chart and achievement chart in
updating the outcomes. The lesson is learners centered because we are using the CBT approach.
Wherein CBT approach focus on the outcomes rather that learning process.

The used of CBLM, must be upgraded, spending much time in reading and answering the
self-checks will lessen the time exposing them in actual skills learning.

The type of question I asked in this particular session must possess the following
characteristics; valid, reliable, fair and flexible. It is necessary to ask these questions in order to
complete the learning outcomes.

To ensure the participation of the students, I will use the small and large group peer
discussion or with audio visual for my training.

The document used to help me manage the class activities are the following; attendance
sheet, to know the number of trainees’ present. RPL tools like Data gathering instruments for
learners’ characteristics, self-assessment checklist and pretest to know the learning styles and the
prior learnings of the trainees. Performance criteria checklist to know whether the outcomes are
met. Achievement and progress chart to record the trainee’s outcomes that were done successfully.
Supervise Work based training

In establishing relationship between the school and industry provider, these are the steps to
be followed. Search for prospective industry partner, sent proposal letter to the prospective industry
partner. Set an appointment for presentation. Present the presentation. Visit the work-based
training location. Finalize the training plan and MOA. Placement of trainees in the industry.
Coordination and monitoring of work-based trainees. Work based training evaluation.

It is important to make a training plan to help everyone to synchronize the curriculum of the
school with the in-plant training activities.

Before sending out the students to the participating company, I’ll make sure that the
trainees are fully equipped and must be conducted first the orientation about SIT/OJT to provide
necessary assistance such as referrals and recommendations.

As a trainer my responsibility is to monitor my trainees using training plan, trainees record

Being a trainer, you don’t have to “spoon-feed” your trainees. You will act will just act as
facilitator.

By providing the summary of the trainees’ progress sheet and record book. By providing also
the evaluation from trainees during their OJT through this you can evaluate their work based
training.
Conduct Competency Assessment

In conducting a competency assessment, I must prepare and check the assessment venue.
Ensure the safety and completeness of the materials tools and equipment. Ensure also the
completeness of the Assessment packages.

I will explain and orient the candidates about the purpose of the assessment. Give an
overview about the qualification to be assessed. Orient them about the procedure to be undertaken.
Tell them about the results and confidentiality. Orient them the do’s and don’ts before and during
the assessment. Tell them about the allowable and reasonable adjustments.

The purpose of giving an orientation is that the candidates needs to be aware about the
assessment procedure. Giving orientation leads them to a successful assessment.

To make sure that the candidate taking the assessment is the same person in the
application; The candidate must present a valid id to verify their identity. Then compare the
signature from the application form and the attendance sheet.

To make sure that the candidate understands the task to be performed is by asking the
candidate if there is any questions or clarifications. Informing them twice will also help.

The Do’s of an assessor while observing the candidate performing the task is to orient the
candidate about the procedure by letting the candidate reading the specific instructions. Allow the
candidate for their personal necessities. Always observe transparency in recording the evidences
based the on the performance of the candidate use rating sheets/ assessor’s guide. The don’ts are,
do not give feedback if there are two or more candidate inside the room. Do not be bias or
subjective. Do not help candidate once the demonstration started.

Adults wants their learning to practical. Adults are very enthusiastic to learning when the
learnings are very applicable to real life situation. Adults do not learn in the same way. Provide
learning materials that cater to their learning styles.

The main basis of the decision are the rating sheet, assessor’s guide and constructive
feedback. Since these tools were made according to competency standards then I think this is just
enough.

In providing the feedback to the students, tell them their strength and follow their weakness
but assure them that they still enough time to improve and acquire the knowledge and skills.
Maintain Training Facilities

Sketch your workshop

These are the training equipment and machines belongs to my SMAW NCII workshop.
Welding machine AC/DC, electrode holder, fumes extractor, electrode oven, angle grinder, welding
helmet, bench grinder, chipping hammer, welding positioner and fire extinguishers.

Clean and check the tools, equipment and materials in the tool room. Well arranged all
items and ensure all are functional. Clean Inspect personal protective equipment (PPE). Dispose all
waste materials. To improve more, there must be a proper inventory of the machine tools and
materials. Additional of maintenance personnel must be enough to perform different task.

In requesting for additional equipment, I must inform first to my supervisor about the
request. Provide a purchase order request form. Make sure all information were filled up. To ensure
the delivery of the request materials will be early or in time, provide the supplier your contact
person and number as well as the suppliers contact person and numbers.

By looking at the equipment record with code and drawing, tag-out bill, breakdown report
salvage report, operation of equipment. We can see all list of equipment indicating the quantity,
location, description and the like. Then inform the supervisor of item to be replenished. Provide
immediately your supervisor with purchase order request. For improvement, there should be an
inventory form of all the tools, equipment and materials and ensure that this form is updated.

In our institution/center, there is a waste management facilities were we can separate waste
from biodegradable to non-biodegradable and recyclable waste.
