| ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA |
| Planning 1.Information is analysed and presented according to organisational objectives and requirements.A plan is developed by using a systematic process.Tasks, resources, timeframes and measurement criteria are defined and aligned to meet organisational objectives. Organising 2.Methods, procedures and techniques to organise a work unit are applied in accordance with organisational requirements.The activities of the work unit are analysed and adjusted in order to align to the organisational strategies.Resources are allocated to achieve the developed plan. Leading 3.The principles of leadership are explained and applied within a work unit.The organisation’s objectives and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are analysed in order to determine the direction of work units.Knowledge of group dynamics is applied to build a team. Controlling 4.Work unit performance is measured against organisational objectives.Corrective action is taken in response to performance variances in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Ethics 5.The concept of ethics is explained in terms of its influence on the activities of a work unit.The value of a code of ethics is explained in terms of its impact on decision making.Ethical decisions are made in the workplace. Integrated Assessment: Integration implies that theoretical and practical components are assessed together. It also implies that learning in different unit standards could and should be assessed in a integrated way where possible. Integrative assessment techniques may be used to assess multiple specific outcomes within multiple unit standards within the learner’s work context. Within each unit standard, the specific outcomes and associated assessment criteria guide the learning process. The assessment determines whether the outcomes have been attained. Assessments should be flexible and must cater for a wide range of options and contexts. Assessment must be fair, transparent, valid and reliable and should ensure that no learner is disadvantaged. Assessment of Communication and Mathematical Literacy should be contextually based in accordance with the specialisation and context chosen and applied. Assessment has a formative monitoring function. Formative assessment should be used to assess gaps in the learner’s skill and knowledge level. Its goal is to assess the learner’s competence providing feedback to both learner and facilitator for further learning. It is continuous and is used to plan appropriate learning experiences to meet the learner’s needs. It provides information about problems experienced at different stages in the learning process. Assessment must also have a summative component. Summative assessment may be used on completion of a unit standard, but should not be the only form of assessment. A variety of methods must be used in assessment, and tools and activities must be appropriate to the context in which the learner is working. Where it is not possible to assess all competencies in the workplace, simulations, case studies and other techniques should be used to provide a context appropriate to the assessment. |
| INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
| The Bologna Process The most researched and systematic coverage of the subject of ‘generic qualifications’ is to be found in what is loosely termed ‘The Bologna Process’, which originated in the Bologna Declaration by European Ministers of Education of 19 June 1999 and is still in progress today. This project has resulted in a myriad of publications, one numbering 200 pages, dealing with almost every conceivable facet of qualification design, qualification frameworks, qualification articulation and portability, quality assurance, assessments, lifelong learning and related matters. One of the most comprehensive reference works on this is the February 2005 publication ‘A Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Arena’ , Appendix 6 of which sets out an expose of what is termed the ‘Dublin Descriptors’. The ‘Dublin Descriptors’ come the closest to defining various generic descriptors for higher education across Europe, which have been widely debated by those participating in the Bologna Process. They embody knowledge and understanding; the application of knowledge and understanding; the ability to make judgment, and the ability to communicate and learning skills. Within these nests, a more detailed view of the ‘sub-descriptors’ is given. The Bologna papers make it clear that the integration of vocational education and training into academic education are central to the success of the system as a whole. While the above does not directly correlate with work on the FETC: Management, it is clear that this qualification is not at variance with the broad principles enunciated by the leading researchers in Europe. As shared by, including, or typical of are common synonyms for the term ‘generic’, it is clear that a qualification in generic management must include all which is common to management in all disciplines, and should attempt to exclude all that which applies to specific applications of management in any one of these disciplines. Other International Developments Moving beyond Bologna, in a paper by Pete Dalton & Kate Levinson read at the 66th International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions Council and General Conference in Jerusalem, a strong case is made for a generic academic qualification process. The authors state, however, that ‘NARIC may be useful as a model for comparing academic reciprocity of qualifications between countries that do not have additional professional accreditation. However, this would create a system which ignored professional standards and accreditation and which would be unsuitable for those countries where professional accreditation takes place’. The term ‘generic management’, ‘generic qualification’ and ‘vocational qualification’ is used loosely in a number of contexts in the international literature throughout diverse fields of knowledge, as illustrated below. It receives considerable attention in the Financial Services Industry in Australia. The Commissioner of Local Government in Australia has issued a strong endorsement of the importance of generic qualifications and a diagram is depicted illustrated what he has in mind. In an article by Fiona Becker and Judith Niechcial published in April 2004 the importance of generic qualifications to the social worker community in the UK is stressed. Also in a UK health context, an NHS report on Health Informatics Qualifications Mapping dated March 2006 makes numerous references to the importance of generic qualifications. Again in the UK, the public sector IT Industry is seeing the benefits of generic learning. Britain’s Public Management Institute has introduced generic management qualifications coupled to a professional qualification. The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), a member of the City and Guilds Group, has a range of generic management qualifications on offer which also offer professional linkages. In a study by Birmingham University, Katy Lancaster and Pete Dalton (edited by Fiona Parsons) make a particularly strong case for well-honed generic management skills in the IT Industry. The UK motor industry has also introduced a 10-unit work-based Certificate Course in generic management. In an article in Questionline in September 2005 dealing with vocational qualifications for members of the armed forces, the role of a generic technique (PRINCE 2) is alluded to as follows: ‘The most common generic method is PRINCE2, with over 20,000 people attempting its exams (pass rate is 65 per cent) since its introduction in 1996’. In Singapore, an initiative called ‘Generic Skills’ empowers what is termed a ‘National Skills Recognition System’ which overlays ‘Workforce Skills Qualifications’ in the Retail, Financial and Training industries, to enable upward mobility of these ‘learner-workers’. New Zealand has developed one qualification in IT and has begun to develop generic unit standards. (This URL requires a search for ‘Generic’). New Zealand has also developed a number of so-called ‘Maori Management’ unit standards. The University of Auckland offers generic programmes in nursing up to Masters level. Conclusion Generic qualifications are either being used or developed throughout the world with considerable success. Their role seems in some applications (particularly in industry) to be that of a precursor to more advanced specialisation qualifications, while in others it is applicable to the most advanced levels of purely academic knowledge. Given the accepted understanding of the term ‘generic’ seen against the latter observations, the FETC: Management at Level 4 would seem to be in line with best practice internationally. Some detailed practical applications of Generic Qualifications internationally The Hybrid Information Management Skills for Senior Staff (HIMSS) Project in the UK identified strategic management and leadership; ability to manage change and an understanding of customer focus and service orientation as the most widespread generic skills lacking in potential managers. Generic management skills stood at the top of a host of other desirable skills for an IT professional in their estimation. Generic Management development programmes were strongly endorsed. In Australia, the Financial Services Industry has designed two distinct pathways, one leading to a generic qualification, and the other to a specialist qualification. The chief difference between the two approaches is that the generic route offers elective units, while the specialist route requires specialist units to be selected. It points out, however, that certain sectors have mandatory competency pathways, which must be met in order to gain employment. Similar observations are made under the discussion of NARIC, below. The University of Auckland Faculty Education Unit offers an interesting array of tools provided via their Generic Centre. These chiefly cover assessment, rubric grading and curriculum design, rather than qualifications, per se. New Zealand and offers a large number of unit standards termed ‘generic’ under various domains such as self-management; social and cooperative skills and work and study skills. It also offers further unit standards in a subfield called ‘Maori Business and Management’ with domains entitled finance – Maori; Maori Management – generic; Maori Management in Maori organisations and Maori Office systems. No generic qualifications exist at this time. The various unit standards serve as a useful international benchmark of the perceived components and levels of complexity of management. Research conducted in the UK within the Health Industry has identified three main types of qualifications, namely dedicated Health Industry (HI) qualifications; those that combine health and information in some manner and generic qualifications that have application to (all) working in the HI. Examples of generic qualifications include a Postgraduate Certificate from the University of York; National Vocational Qualifications for IT; Institute of IT Training (ITT) qualifications; the Information Systems Examinations Board (ISEB) and the European Computer Driving License (ECDL). The report concludes that ‘It is clear from the number and variety of vocational awards available, that individual qualifications in ITC are well catered for’. The Social Work profession in the UK offers a generic degree in social work based on the national occupational standards for social work and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) subject benchmark statement for social work. The Chartered Management Institute in the UK offers one of the most comprehensive ladders of learning for generic management studies.These range from (UK) Level 2 right through to (UK) Level 5 – i.e. team leading through to Management. All qualifications consist of mandatory units and optional units over and above these, the latter greatly outnumbering the former. This also serves as a useful international benchmark of the perceived components and levels of complexity of management. The auto industry in the UK has also introduced a Business and Administration National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at (UK) Level 2. It is claimed that this generic qualification is of benefit throughout the auto industry to both technical and non-technical staff. The Open University in the UK offers a variety of generic courses at a variety of levels in IM and ICT. Research has also indicated that some National Health Service (NHS) employees believe that a generic qualification will give them greater transferability in the future. [It is interesting to observe that UK literature in particular uses the terms ‘vocational’ and ‘generic’ interchangeably]. The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) undertook research into methods of determining the equivalency of Library and Information Science (LIS) qualifications worldwide. They identified three approaches, namely professional association approach; generic academic qualification equivalency approach and institutional course approach. In researching the generic option, the National Academic Recognition Information Centre for the UK (NARIC) was closely investigated. The conclusion was that while NARIC was a useful tool for academic comparison purposes, it ignores the additional requirements for professional accreditation. |
