PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The purpose of this unit standard is to equip the learner to be able to develop, adapt and/or adjust existing Arts and Culture products to address market relevancy. This unit standard enables learners to develop, implement, adapt and adjust Arts and Culture products, allowing learners the opportunity to reach their potential in the Arts and Culture sector. It allows for learner advancement within formal education, as well as allowing for the recognition of prior learning.

Learners obtaining credit for this unit standard are able to provide professional support directly to individuals and communities and will be empowering such individuals and communities to achieve specific outcomes.

Credited learners are capable of:

Analysing factors influencing the suitability of Arts and Culture products.

Developing interventions to develop, adjust and/or adapt Arts and Culture products.

Co-ordinating the implementations of developing interventions.

Reviewing and documenting developing interventions of adapting and/or adjusting Arts and Culture products.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

The credits and level assigned to this unit standard is based on the assumption that learners have already attained the following competencies:

Communication and language at NQF Level 4.

Interpretation of Arts and Culture elements and principles at NQF Level 4.

UNIT STANDARD NOTES

Notes to assessors:

Assessors should keep the following principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments against this unit standard:

Focus the assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcome expressed in the title to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember we want to declare the person competent in terms of the title. Where assessment at title level is unmanageable, focus assessment around each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes.

Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies. Assessment activities should be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to show the learner is able to perform in the real situation.

Do not focus the assessment activities on each assessment criterion. Rather make sure the assessment activities focus on outcomes and are sufficient to enable evidence to be gathered around all the assessment criteria.

The assessment criteria provide the specifications against which assessment judgements should be made. In most cases, knowledge can be inferred from the quality of the performances, but in other cases, knowledge and understanding will have to be tested through questioning techniques. Where this is required, there will be assessment criteria to specify the standard required.

The task of the assessor is to gather sufficient evidence, of the prescribed type and quality, as specified in this unit standard, that the learner can achieve the outcomes again and again and again. This means assessors will have to judge how many repeat performances are required before they believe the performance is reproducible.

All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well documented principles of assessment: appropriateness, fairness, manageability, integration into work or learning, validity, direct, authentic, sufficient, systematic, open and consistent.

PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD:

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
