 Introduction
This Teacher’s Guide is developed to assist you in delivering the Hardware and
Networking Service Level II training program. It is usually designed as a resource to
support the learning activity.

The Hardware and Networking Service Level II Training is developed to equip the
trainees with the required competences in Connecting Internal Hardware
Component, Installing and Optimizes Operating system Software, Operating
Database Application, Administrating Network and Hardware Peripherals, Caring for
Network and Computer Hardware, Recording Client Support Requirements, Applying
Problem - Solving Techniques to Routine Malfunction, Implementing Maintenance
Procedures, Maintaining Equipment and Consumables, Preventing and Eliminate
MUDA, Updating and Documenting Operational Procedures. The Program is
consisting of eleven (11) learning modules covering the eleven (11) units of
competence.

This teacher’s guide covers all the eleven (11) learning modules and it will assist you
in delivering the said program and achieving its learning objectives and outcomes. It
also provides information in the organization of the learning guides and assessment
packets. The learning guides are aid to the trainees by telling them what need to do,
when and how to do it and the expectations once the learning activities are
completed. While the assessment packet guides you in developing the tools or
instruments to measure trainee’s overall achievement of the stated competence.
Thus, it is important for you to understand the design of this program and the
mechanics in which it shall be delivered.

Your role as the teacher is to provide opportunities aimed at helping the trainees
develop and improve their competences. You are expected to guide and assist them
as they go through the learning activities and actual work.

 Training Mechanics
The Outcome-Based Training is one form of an independent learning approach.
This approach enables trainees to be master of their own environment and in charge
of their learning. It is also characterized by the integration of theory and application
as two dimensions of an effective learning process. In this program, the outcome-
based system is consisting of a combination of lecture-discussion, individualized
learning activities, mentoring, field immersion and feedback.

In this program the trainees will be given individual learning guide to go through and
accomplish. They will be instructed through this learning guide to accomplish
learning activities as part of the mechanism for transfer of learning from the training
situation to the job situation. For each competence area, trainees will formulate a
specific learning plan as a guide for applying their learning to work setting and for
their own continuing self-development. At this point, your role as the
teacher/facilitator is to guide the trainee in preparing and accomplishing their plan.

Lecture and discussion of the topics outlined in the session plan should be
performed first before the trainees are instructed to go to the workshop. You are
also required to demonstrate the correct steps/procedures and techniques to your
trainees before you let them practice. Insure that they are practicing safely.

Most part of the training activities will be conducted in the workshop for better
development of specific skills. Aside from motivating them to relate concepts and
skills to their own work situations, make sure to provide the necessary opportunity for
competence practice and better internalization of such concepts and techniques.
The trainees should also be provided the opportunity to blend with the actual working
unit in the industry.

In this system, it is important to develop a sustained relationship with the trainees

through a continued involvement, where you are to offer support, guidance and
assistance as the trainee go through the learning activities and actual work.

With the mentoring approach, the trainees are grouped in learning teams with one
facilitator-mentor per team. Before learning session or workshop start in the
morning, each team and mentor meets to give feedback regarding their work, or how
the group improves, acquire set of skills for the members to become more effective
trainees. You are also to asses them at the end of each module. However, they
have to be ready before the assessment and it should be them to request for it.

trainees on how the training will proceed.

Assessment Context

There are two types of evaluation used in determining the extent to which learning
outcomes are achieved. The specific learning outcomes are stated in the modules.
In assessing them, verifiable and observable indicators and standards shall be used.

The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form part of
the learning process. Formative evaluation provides the trainee with feedback
regarding success or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It identifies the specific
learning errors that need to be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful
performance as well. For the trainer/facilitator, formative evaluation provides
information for making instruction and remedial work more effective. In this program
the LAP Test serves as the formative assessment.

Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules of
the program have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which
competence have been achieved. This will be given in the form of written test for the
underpinning knowledge and demonstration for the attitudes and skills portion. And,
the result of the assessment decision shall be expressed in the term ‘competent or
not yet competent’. In this program the summative assessment shall also serves as
the final examination.
