In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
The learner achieving this unit standard in combination with other relevant guiding standards will be able to point out and explain in terms of scientific theory and cultural belief the features of the natural environment in which s/he is operating, and putting it into broader ecological context.

This unit standard, combined with the fundamental and core guiding standards in a national certificate in Tourism (NQF 4 or higher), will provide the learner with the competence to practice as a professional tourist guide (specifically field guide) as envisaged in the Tourism Amendment Act in situations that require this level of competency. 

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
It is assumed that a learner entering a program leading to this unit standard has the literacy skills required for NQF Level 4.
'Conduct a Guided Nature Experience (NQF 4)'. 

UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
Guides to the scope and complexity of the specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge are provided in ranges/points beneath each. These are prefaced by "for example" since they are neither comprehensive nor necessarily appropriate to all contexts. Alternatives must however be comparable in scope and complexity. These are intended only as a general guide to scope and complexity of what is required. 

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria: 

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1 
Identify and place all common plants and commonly encountered animals in the area of operation. 
OUTCOME NOTES 
Identify and place in taxonomical context all common plants and commonly encountered animals in the area of operation, identify and interpret obvious signs and sounds left or made by these animals, and give valid scientific explanations/theories of their features and behavioural patterns. 
OUTCOME RANGE 
Explain the social structure and behaviour of elephants, the typical features of commonly encountered insect orders, "anting" behaviour of birds; present theories on bird migration. Identify common spoor, droppings and territorial markings, bird nests, mammal, bird, reptile (crocodile and geckoes) and insect sounds. 

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
 

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
When conducting assessments, assessors must ensure that they are familiar with the full text of the Unit Standards being assessed.

They must ensure that the assessment covers the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge.

As each situation is different, it will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools, which are appropriate to the contexts in which practitioners are working. These activities and tools may include self-assessment, peer assessment; formative and summative assessment.

The specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in relation to each other. If a practitioner is able to explain the essential embedded knowledge but is unable to perform the specific outcomes, they should not be assessed as competent. Similarly, if a practitioner is able to perform the specific outcomes but is unable to explain or justify their performance in terms of the essential embedded knowledge, they should not be assessed as competent.

Method of assessment
Assessment should include practical demonstration of competence, either in the workplace or through work-realistic, out-of-classroom simulation.

A range of assessment methods should be used, including:

Direct observation - watch the practitioner carry out the task or produce a desired outcome during the course of his or her normal work under normal workplace conditions.
Product sample - examine the outcomes previously produced by the practitioner.
Simulation of a specific task - set a specific task for the practitioner to demonstrate in a simulated environment.
Questioning (verbal or written) - ask relevant questions linked to the unit standard.
Testimony - collect a portfolio of evidence from suitable people (e.g.: reports from a third party).

Integrated assessment
It may be more effective and efficient to assess a number of unit standards together thus reducing the overall number of assessment 'events'.
  • Consider a complete activity in the workplace (the 'whole of work' approach) and see which unit standards relate to this activity.
  • Work out how practitioners could collect evidence on a number of unit standards at the same time covering all the critical aspects of the standards.
  • Ensure that commonalities that exist between a number of unit standards are captured in a way that makes sense for assessment. 

  • SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2 
    Identify the "flag-ship" species of SA. 
    OUTCOME NOTES 
    Identify the "flag-ship" species of SA, i.e. elephant, black & white rhino, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, buffalo, zebra species, wildebeest species, giraffe, and interpret their behaviour. 
    OUTCOME RANGE 
    Territorial behaviour, mating, feeding and teaching of young, interaction between predators, elephant-rhino, etc.

    Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO): 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO IDENTIFYING 
    Problem solving relates to the following specific outcome:
  • Point out and interpret at an elementary scientific level obvious topographical features of the area of operation, major constellations and their component stars, planets and other features of the night sky and local weather patterns, and use these for orientation. 

  • UNIT STANDARD CCFO WORKING 
    Team work relates to the following specific outcome:
  • Demonstrate the appropriate ethics and precautions associated with guiding in natural environment. 

  • UNIT STANDARD CCFO ORGANISING 
    Self organisation and management relates to the following specific outcome:

  • UNIT STANDARD CCFO COLLECTING 
    Information evaluation relates to the following specific outcomes:
  • Identify and place in taxonomical context all common plants and commonly encountered animals in the area of operation, identify and interpret obvious signs and sounds left or made by these animals, and give valid scientific explanations/theories of their features and behavioural patterns.
  • Identify the "flag-ship" species of SA, i.e. elephant, black & white rhino, hippo, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, buffalo, zebra species, wildebeest species, giraffe, and interpret their behaviour.
  • Point out and interpret at an elementary scientific level obvious topographical features of the area of operation, major constellations and their component stars, planets and other features of the night sky and local weather patterns, and use these for orientation.
  • Point out and explain human influences on the environment, use them for orientation, and use cultural explanations where appropriate.
  • Interpret relative abundance of organisms, interactions between organisms and interactions between living and non-living components of the environment using appropriate scientific theories where necessary. 

  • UNIT STANDARD CCFO COMMUNICATING 
    Communication relates to all specific outcomes. 

    UNIT STANDARD CCFO DEMONSTRATING 
    Inter-relatedness of systems relates to the following specific outcomes:
  • Point out and interpret at an elementary scientific level obvious topographical features of the area of operation, major constellations and their component stars, planets and other features of the night sky and local weather patterns, and use these for orientation.

  • Interpret relative abundance of organisms, interactions between organisms and interactions between living and non-living components of the environment using appropriate scientific theories where necessary.
  • Demonstrate the appropriate ethics and precautions associated with guiding in natural environment. 

  • UNIT STANDARD NOTES 
    As a general indication, the knowledge and insight expected at this level is unlikely to be obtained without at least two years of active guiding in the field. A general distinction between the competence at this level as opposed to lower levels is the ability to explain phenomena by means of valid and well-motivated scientific theories and the concomitant use of appropriate scientific terminology.

    Values

    Demonstration of the knowledge and skills outlined in this unit standard must be consistent with the principles of:

    1. Respect for ecological processes and cultural integrity.
    2. Accepting and maintaining a non-discriminatory attitude towards diversity including, for example, differences in gender, race, religion, physical ability and culture.
