FOREWORD

The Pandit Sunderlal Sharma Central Institute of Vocational Education (PSSCIVE) a


constituent of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) is
spearheading the efforts of developing learning outcome based curricula and courseware
aimed at integrating both vocational and general qualifications to open pathways of career
progression for students. It is a part of Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Vocationalisation of
Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (CSSVSHSE) launched by the Ministry of Human
Resource Development, Government of India in 2012. The PSS Central Institute of Vocational
Education (PSSCIVE) is developing curricula under the project approved by the Project
Approval Board (PAB) of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA). The main purpose of
the learning outcome based curricula is to bring about the improvement in teaching-learning
process and working competences through learning outcomes embedded in the vocational
subject.

It is a matter of great pleasure to introduce this learning outcome based curriculum as part of
the vocational training packages for the job role of General Duty Assistant. The curriculum has
been developed for the higher secondary students of vocational education and is aligned to
the National Occupation Standards (NOSs) of a job role identified and approved under the
National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF).

The curriculum aims to provide children with employability and vocational skills to support
occupational mobility and lifelong learning. It will help them to acquire specific occupational
skills that meet employers’ immediate needs. The teaching process is to be performed
through the interactive sessions in classrooms, practical activities in laboratories and
workshops, projects, field visits, and professional experiences.

The curriculum has been developed and reviewed by a group of experts and their
contributions are greatly acknowledged. The utility of the curriculum will be adjudged by the
qualitative improvement that it brings about in teaching-learning. The feedback and
suggestions on the content by the teachers and other stakeholders will be of immense value
to us in bringing about further improvement in this document.

PREFACE

India today stands poised at a very exciting juncture in its saga. The potential for achieving
inclusive growth are immense and the possibilities are equally exciting. The world is looking at
us to deliver sustainable growth and progress. To meet the growing expectations, India will
largely depend upon its young workforce. The much-discussed demographic dividend will
bring sustaining benefits only if this young workforce is skilled and its potential is channelized in
the right direction.

In order to fulfil the growing aspirations of our youth and the demand of skilled human
resource, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India
introduced the revised Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Vocationalisation of Secondary and
Higher Secondary Education that aims to provide for the diversification of educational
opportunities so as to enhance individual employability, reduce the mismatch between
demand and supply of skilled manpower and provide an alternative for those pursuing higher
education. For spearheading the scheme, the PSS Central Institute of Vocational Education
(PSSCIVE) was entrusted the responsibility to develop learning outcome based curricula,
student workbooks, teacher handbooks and e-learning materials for the job roles in various
sectors, with growth potential for employment.

The PSSCIVE firmly believes that the vocationalisation of education in the nation need to be
established on a strong footing of philosophical, cultural and sociological traditions and it
should aptly address the needs and aspirations of the students besides meeting the skill
demands of the industry. The curriculum, therefore, aims at developing the desired
professional, managerial and communication skills to fulfil the needs of the society and the
world of work. In order to honour its commitment to the nation, the PSSSCIVE has initiated the
work on developing learning outcome based curricula with the involvement of faculty
members and leading experts in respective fields. It is being done through the concerted
efforts of leading academicians, professionals, policy makers, partner institutions, Vocational
Education and Training experts, industry representatives, and teachers. The expert group
through a series of consultations, working group meetings and use of reference materials
develops a National Curriculum. Currently, the Institute is working on developing curricula and
courseware for over 100 job roles in various sectors.

We extend our gratitude to all the contributors for selflessly sharing their precious knowledge,
acclaimed expertise, and valuable time and positively responding to our request for
development of curriculum. We are grateful to MHRD and NCERT for the financial support
and cooperation in realising the objective of providing learning outcome based modular
curricula and courseware to the States and other stakeholders under the PAB (Project
Approval Board) approved project of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiskha Abhiyan (RMSA) of MHRD.

(ii)
Finally, for transforming the proposed curriculum design into a vibrant reality of
implementation, all the institutions involved in the delivery system shall have to come together
with a firm commitment and they should secure optimal community support. The success of
this curriculum depends upon its effective implementation and it is expected that the
managers of vocational education and training system, including subject teachers will make
efforts to create better facilities, develop linkages with the world of work and foster a
conducive environment as per the content of the curriculum document.

The PSSCIVE, Bhopal remains committed in bringing about reforms in the vocational
education and training system through the learner-centric curricula and courseware. We
hope that this document will prove useful in turning out more competent Indian workforce for
the 21st Century.

teachers should make effective use of a variety of instructional aids, such as audio-video
materials, colour slides, charts, diagrams, models, exhibits, hand-outs, online teaching
materials, etc. to transmit knowledge and impart training to the students.

PRACTICAL WORK IN LABORATORY/WORKSHOP

Practical work may include but not limited to hands-on-training, simulated training, role play,
case based studies, exercises, etc. Equipment and supplies should be provided to enhance
hands-on learning experience of students. Only trained personnel should teach specialized
techniques. A training plan that reflects tools, equipment, materials, skills and activities to be
performed by the students should be submitted by the vocational teacher to the Head of
the Institution.

FIELD VISITS/ EDUCATIONAL TOUR

In field visits, children will go outside the classroom to obtain specific information from experts
or to make observations of the activities. A checklist of observations to be made by the
students during the field visits should be developed by the Vocational Teachers for systematic
collection of information by the students on the various aspects. Principals and Teachers
should identify the different opportunities for field visits within a short distance from the school
and make necessary arrangements for the visits. At least three field visits should be
conducted in a year.

4. ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION

Upon successful completion of the course by the candidate, the Central/ State Examination
Board for Secondary Education and the respective Sector Skill Council will certify the
competencies.

The National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) is based on outcomes referenced to the
National Occupation Standards (NOSs), rather than inputs. The NSQF level descriptors, which
are the learning outcomes for each level, include the process, professional knowledge,
professional skills, core skills and responsibility. The assessment is to be undertaken to verify
that individuals have the knowledge and skills needed to perform a particular job and that
the learning programme undertaken has delivered education at a given standard. It should
be closely linked to certification so that the individual and the employer could come to know
the competencies acquired through the vocational subject or course. The assessment should
be reliable, valid, flexible, convenient, cost effective and above all it should be fair and
transparent. Standardized assessment tools should be used for assessment of knowledge of
students. Necessary arrangements should be made for using technology in assessment of
students.

KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT (THEORY)

Knowledge Assessment should include two components: one comprising of internal


assessment and second an external examination, including theory examination to be
conducted by the Board. The assessment tools shall contain components for testing the
knowledge and application of knowledge. The knowledge test can be objective paper
based test or short structured questions based on the content of the curriculum.

CURRICULUM: HEALTHCARE – GENERAL DUTY ASSISTANT 4|Page

SKILL ASSESSMENT (PRACTICAL)

Assessment of skills by the students should be done by the assessors/examiners on the basis of
practical demonstration of skills by the candidate, using a competency checklist. The
competency checklist should be developed as per the National Occupation Standards
(NOSs) given in the Qualification Pack for the Job Role to bring about necessary consistency
in the quality of assessment across different sectors and Institutions. The student has to
demonstrate competency against the performance criteria defined in the National
Occupation Standards and the assessment will indicate that they are 'competent', or are 'not
yet competent'. The assessors assessing the skills of the students should possess a current
experience in the industry and should have undergone an effective training in assessment
principles and practices. The Sector Skill Councils should ensure that the assessors are
provided with the training on the assessment of competencies.

CURRICULUM: HEALTHCARE – GENERAL DUTY ASSISTANT 5|Page

Practical examination allows candidates to demonstrate that they have the knowledge and
understanding of performing a task. This will include hands-on practical exam and viva voce.
For practical, there should be a team of two evaluators – the subject teacher and the expert
from the relevant industry certified by the Board or concerned Sector Skill Council. The same
team of examiners will conduct the viva voce.

Project Work (individual or group project) is a great way to assess the practical skills on a
certain time period or timeline. Project work should be given on the basis of the capability of
the individual to perform the tasks or activities involved in the project. Projects should be
discussed in the class and the teacher should periodically monitor the progress of the project
and provide feedback for improvement and innovation. Field visits should be organised as
part of the project work. Field visits can be followed by a small-group work/project
work. When the class returns from the field visit, each group might be asked to use the
information that they have gathered to prepare presentations or reports of their observations.
Project work should be assessed on the basis of practical file or student portfolio.

Student Portfolio is a compilation of documents that supports the candidate’s claim of


competence. Documents may include reports, articles, photos of products prepared by
students in relation to the unit of competency.

Viva voce allows candidates to demonstrate communication skills and content knowledge.
Audio or video recording can be done at the time of viva voce. The number of external
examiners would be decided as per the existing norms of the Board and these norms should
be suitably adopted/adapted as per the specific requirements of the vocational subject.
Viva voce should also be conducted to obtain feedback on the student’s experiences and
learning during the project work/field visits.
