EVALUATION BASED IN NORMS OF COMPETENCE

Concept of Evaluation in E/CBNC Within the competencies model, evaluation is a continuous process that centers on successfully obtaining evidence and applying criteria about the degree and nature of progress made in fulfilling performance requirements that have been established within a technical, labor competency norm. And, then in the appropriate moment apply criteria to determine whether or not they have gained the competency.

Competence itself, cannot be observed, but must be inferred from performance. Evaluation based upon competency norms is an evaluation that is carried out in relation to the performance criteria which are established within the norms. Evaluation Concept in E/CBNC

Characteristics of Evaluation Based in Competency Norms »Centered in performance and outcomes. »Individualized. »Without perceptual classification. »Eliminate comparison among student outcomes. »It becomes attached to meeting the performance criteria defined in the norm. »Must meet NTCL performance criteria. »Only makes judgments of competent or not competent. » Evaluates performance as well as knowledge. »Considers the evaluation of previous learning.

Aspects to consider in the Evaluation BNC »The need for direct evaluation » The need for multiples sources of evidence » The need for an integrated evaluation

Principles of Evaluation BNC » Validity » Reliability » Impartiality » Sufficiency » Authenticity » Real Time

Evaluation Plan It is an instrument by means of which: »It explains an evaluation strategy that will be communicated and discussed between the participant and the evaluator. »It makes specific some principles of the process of evaluation based on competencies, as applied to the evaluation process.

Design of an Evaluation Plan 1. For each unit of competency, decide what evidence is acceptable to demonstrate that the person is competent. 2. To decide how one is going to successfully obtain each piece of evidence. Be assured of which methods are feasible, valid and reliable. This must be done in a previous consultation with the people who are going to evaluate.. 3. To decide on the amount of time implied. Here it is necessary to be realistic and efficient in costs. Consider the limitations of the organization before making the decision. 4. To document the plan and to circulate among the interested people..
