Model Curriculum
Two types of evaluation will be 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 teacher, formative evaluation provides information for
making instruction and remedial work more effective.
Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules in
the program have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which
competence have been achieved. And, the result of this assessment decision shall
be expressed in the term ‘competent or not yet competent’.
The teachers conducting this particular TVET program are c level and have
satisfactory practical experiences or equivalent qualifications.
