Introduction
Praise be to Allah who taught (the use of) the pen, Taught man that which he knew not. Peace and
blessings upon our Prophet, instructor and role model, Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, who is sent as a
teacher and guide to people and caller to Allah to bring people out of the darkness of ignorance and
misguidance to the light of knowledge and guidance.

The Technical and Vocational Training Corporation seeks to qualify trained national cadres who are
able to fill technical, technical and vocational jobs available in the Saudi labor market. This interest
comes as a result of the directions requested by the leaders of this country. All these jobs seek to obtain
an integrated homeland that depends first on Allah's success, then on its resources and the strength of
its youth, which has knowledge and faith. Everyone strives for the sake of continuing to reach
developmental progress, so that, by the grace of Allah, the country becomes one of the highest
industrialized countries.

The Director General for curricula has taken a positive step in line with advanced international
experiences to build training programs, according to modern scientific methods that are compatible
with the requirements of the labor market in all its specialties to meet these requirements. This step
consisted of the National Professional Standards Preparation Project, then the National Professional
Qualifications Project. Both projects are the main pillar in building training programs. Standards and
qualifications depend on the formation of specialized committees representing the labor market and the
General Organization for Technical and Vocational Training. The scientific vision must be compatible
with the practical reality imposed by the requirements of the labor market, so that these committees
ultimately come out with an integrated view of a training program more relevant to the labor market,
and more realistic in achieving its basic requirements.

This training plan deals with the "Surveying" in the Department of Surveying Technology for trainees
of technical colleges to describe the courses of this specialization. This plan needs to include vital
topics that deal with how to acquire the necessary skills for this specialization so that their skills are to
assist them in their practical life after graduating from this program.

The Director General for curricula hopes that this training plan will be a direct contribution to the study
of necessary skills, in a simplified manner free of complication.

We hope that Allah will grant success to those who prepare the training plan and its beneficiaries, for
what Allah wants and pleases.

Appendix on assessment tools

Definition of assessment:

There are those who define the evaluation as assessing and judging something, as the evaluation is
defined as measuring the impact that training has had on the trainees, and determining the
amount of trainees ’achievement or the outcome they obtained from the training process, habits,
knowledge, skills they acquired, and behavioral changes they have.

Assessment tools and methods:

We can limit ourselves to the following main assessment tools (three tools):
Assessment tools
Oral tests Written tests Practical performance
Oral
Short oral Oral Dialog
presentation
questions dialogue presentation
and Role Non-class
from while in the class work Identify the performance
participation play work

colleagues) the activity readings

True and false Supplement Multiple Communication
questions questions choice or pairing

1. Oral tests:

An assessment tool is applied during different educational and training situations to obtain oral
responses from the trainee on a specific issue or topic. This tool aims to test the trainee's ability to use
his previous information and the way to collect and arrange it for oral presentation. This tool is one
method of group thinking that relies on oral discussion to support or reinforce an idea. This tool, in
addition to being an assessment tool, can be used to develop and enhance the trainee's expressive
ability and to enhance his ability to listen and dialogue and his self-confidence. This tool includes all
learning methods and strategies such as:

 Short oral questions from the instructor or colleagues

 Oral dialogue while performing an activity
 Oral presentation and participation in the discussion when presenting training cases or
presenting the work and activities that the group or the trainee has done
 Dialog presentation in the dialogue readings.
 Role play

2. Written tests:

An assessment tool is applied through different educational and training situations in which the paper
and pen are used to obtain written responses from the trainee on a specific issue or topic. It aims to test
the trainee's ability to use his previous information and the way to collect it and arrange it to be
presented in written pictures. We can look at tests and editorial works from two aspects:

The first aspect: class work:

These are tests and work that the trainee performs in the class (class or workshop) and with direct
follow-up from the trainer, and the work that the trainer prepares and prepares to implement in the
class, including the tests. Educators have agreed to split the tests that the trainer prepares into two
types:

A. Objective tests: The concept of objective tests is determined by how far they are from the term
subjectivity in its handling of appraised evaluation in a manner that does not differ with the different
ingredient (the corrected). The objective tests usually consist of a large number of short questions that
require specific answers, and each question and answer measures one or part of the subject's particles,
whose validity or error can be estimated with a high degree of accuracy, and given the multiplicity of
questions in one test, it becomes possible to cover large parts. Thematic questions can measure a
variety of mental abilities that reach the highest levels. The objective tests take many forms and forms,
including:

 True and False Questions: It consists of a set of statements containing certain practical facts
and requires choosing one answer to judge the phrases right or wrong, answer yes or no, or
judge the phrase as indicating an opinion or fact.
 Completion questions: The complement question consists of a sentence or several deleted
phrases, some of which are words, phrases or symbols. It is required to place the appropriate
word or phrase deleted in the empty place and aims to test the learner's ability to remember the
phrases to complete the intended meaning.
 Multiple-choice questions: They are the most common and the question consists of a problem
formulated in the form of a direct question or an incomplete phrase and a list of proposed
solutions called optional alternatives. The trainee is asked to choose the correct alternative.
 Conciliation or pairing questions: It consists of two parallel columns, each of which contains
a set of phrases, symbols or words, one of which is usually on the right. It is called
Introductions and the second is on the left. It is called Responses and asks the trainee to choose
the appropriate two parallel columns.

B. Article tests: These tests include open questions and leave the trainee the freedom to organize,
arrange, and express answers and information in his own way. They are called essay tests because their
questions usually require writing several lines, and one of the disadvantages of this method is that the

questions are not specific. The answer to essay questions is according to the type of question. Some of
the questions are freely answered, while some essay questions are directed to restricted answers.

The Second aspect: Non-class work:

It is the written work and activities that the trainee performs outside the classroom situation, which are
works, questions or information that the trainee collects from external sources or through observation
or carrying out specific skills with the aim of enriching his knowledge and training him in various skills
such as solving homework, writing reports, doing research and recording Notes.

3. Practical performance:

It is an assessment tool that is applied during the practice of performing a practical skill or performing a
specific job, and it is divided into:

o Identify: In this type, the trainee’s ability to classify things and assess the basic characteristics
of performance such as specifying samples or choosing the appropriate device and device for a
job, or determining parts of a machine or device are measured and evaluated.
o Actual performance: The trainee is required to perform a specific job or solve a problem.

In both parts (recognition and actual performance), the note is used to evaluate the trainee. The
observation can be documented by using the scorecard and this card is a documentation of the various
parts of the work, its steps and skills. The evaluator places a specific signal or ratio in front of each step
or part indicating the amount of trainee mastery in performance and the time it took to implement.
