DIT-ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING PACKAGE FOR A FIELD HOCKEY

DIT-ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING PACKAGE FOR A FIELD HOCKEY

PART I: The Occupational Profile (OP) of a FIELD HOCKEY PRACTITIONER. This Occupational Profile which was reviewed by Field Hockey practitioner practicing in the world of work mirrors the duties and tasks that Field Hockey practitioners are expected to perform.

0.2 PART II: Training Modules in the form of guidelines to train Field Hockey
practitioners both on the job as well as in training centres (or combinations of
both venues of learning). The Training Modules herein have been reviewed
basing on the Occupational Profile and hence are directly relevant for
employment.

0.3 PART III: Assessment Instruments in the form of performance (Practical)
and written (theory) test items that can and should be used to assess whether
a person complies with the requirements of employment as a FIELD
HOCKEY PRACTITIONER. These assessment instruments were reviewed
jointly by job practitioners (Field Hockey Practitioner) and instructors based
on the occupational profile and training modules.

0.4 While the Occupational Profile (OP) contained in PART I of this document
provides the information on WHAT a person is expected to do competently
in the world of work, the test items, – including performance criteria- of PART
III qualify the HOW and/or HOW WELL a person must do the job.

0.5 The modular format of the curriculum (PART II) allows learners to acquire job
specific skills and knowledge (i.e. competencies) module by module. A single
module can be accomplished within a relatively short duration allowing
flexibility for learners to move directly into an entry level job, go for further
modules or advance to higher levels of training. Modular courses allow more
learners to access the training system because training centres as well as
companies can accommodate more learners in a given period of time.

0.6 In addition to improved access, equity and relevance of BTVET, the UVQF
will also enable people who are convinced to have acquired competencies
laid down in this ATP through prior training and on-the-job experience to
access assessment and certification directly; be it on the basis of a single
module, a group of modules or all modules pertaining to the occupation at
once. This achievement will facilitate Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
