| Assessment method/tool | Product-oriented performance assessment |
| Operationalisation (what is being assessed and why, how to conduct it) | Description of the method Product-oriented performance assessment is the way in which the person carrying out the evaluation process focuses on the final product. The other two aspects, related to the performance of the implementation of the product development process and the intrinsic performance of that production process are considered irrelevant for evaluation. The assessment therefore covers the existence of the product and its characteristics. Speaking of characteristics, the evaluation will also take into account the conformity of these characteristics with the references established prior to the development of the product. In the case of a training process, the product is the existence of some competencies and the conformity of these competencies with what was pursued once the training process began. Complexity. The evaluation should be within the limits of the trainees' abilities Repetition. The project should be attractive to trainees, in order to be desired for application and self-application by the trainees. Creativity. It should encourage trainees to exercise their creativity and divergent thinking when approach the topic Goal-based. The project is designed to achieve a learning goal: to give competence to the trainees. ... The objectives of the assessment method Three distinct objectives can be defined for the actual assessment method, and they are: The product, which is the new learning competencies, can be considered as being specific to three levels of performances: Beginner, Qualified, and Expert level Operation The evaluation will be done by inviting the trainees to comment on the risks related to their browsing on the internet for a specific topic. The comments will be divided in two parts: harmful viruses’ action and returning of fake information. The trainer will take notes on the most important statements of the trainees, individually. The trainer will give the opportunity to the workgroups of 5 to organise internal discussions on the risks and to present statements of the group. The trainer will compare the individual statements with the groups’ statements and conclude on the competences acquired by the trainees. 1. Theme: evaluating the competence related to the dealing with the risks when accessing the internet searching for information; 2. Conditions prior to the evaluation: a. designing the structure and the contents for a workshop containing a micro lesson, an exercise, an analysis and conclusions. b. delivering of the micro lesson to the participants; the contents should be focused on the two types of risks: harmful viruses and fake information c. dividing the number of the learners in groups of 5 d. starting of the exercise: searching different topics on the internet; analysing the returned information; analysing the threats related to the search; potential solutions to avoid fake information and viruses; concluding on the results of analysis. 3. Implementation of the assessment 3.1 Actions: - using any type of browser, open the internet, as the most available digital resource of information, and search for „welding of aluminium”; - each trainee is invited to comment the action from the risks point of view - the groups are invited to organise intrinsic discussions for 3 minutes; statements (regarding the risks related to the browsing) of the groups will be required 3.2 Competence to be evaluated from the received answers: capability to understand that risks exist during the action of browsing and after receiving the returned information. |
| Remarks | The summative assessment will verify:
Level 1 (Beginner): Is the trainee aware on the existent risks (at least two: existence of harmful viruses and high probability to have fake information returned by the browsing)? Is the trainee able to understand the risks? Level 2 (Skilled level): Is the trainee able to recognise the two types of discussed risks? Is the trainee able to understand the potential effects of the discussed risks? Level 3 (Expert level): Is the trainee able to consider and apply measures in order to avoid the specific risks? Is the trainee able to apply specific tools and processes in order to remove the effects of the already manifested infection with viruses and/or fake information? |
