PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

A person with credit against this unit standard will be able to produce a sequence of the same marketable craft product. This unit standard contributes to the competence of those learners who want to pursue a career in the Art, Craft and Design sector, and contributes to greater levels of production and quality in this field.

Learners credited with this unit standard are capable of:

Selecting material, tools and production process for producing sequences of same product

Identifying and making use of same design specifications of original product

Producing same given product in sequence

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

It is recommended that the learner has completed ABET level 3 or equivalent with competencies in literacy, mathematical quantities and art skills and dexterity.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

Range statements are included in the unit standard where relevant. Learners are required to demonstrate that they can perform the specific outcomes with understanding and reflexivity. However, at this level they will be consciously following a set of 'rules' or principles, which inform what they do, rather than performing 'internalised rules'. At this level, learners are not expected to draw on or integrate insights from beyond their specific craft or field of competency.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Select material, tools and production process for producing sequence of same product.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Materials, tools and equipment appropriate for producing sequences of given designs were selected.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Materials, tools and equipment include those relevant to specific craft or field.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Materials quantities determined were enough for specific number of sequences of product to be produced.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Appropriate production process were identified and selected for producing sequences of same product.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Sequence of product: Hand produced production line.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Identify and make use of same design specifications of original product.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Same design specifications of original designs were identified.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Housekeeping and safety procedures in the context of craft production were adhered to.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Housekeeping refers to optimising the use of resources, record keeping, hygiene, health and safety.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Environmentally sustainable criteria were considered during the production of the craft product.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Environment refers to national, social, political, legal and economical resources.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3

Produce sequence of same product.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

Design specifications were copied during producing same products in sequence.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2

Housekeeping and safety procedures in the context of craft production were adhered to.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Housekeeping refers to optimising the use of resources, record keeping, hygiene, health and safety.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3

Environmentally sustainable criteria were considered during the production of the craft product.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE

Environment refers to national, social, political, legal and economical resources.

UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS

Assessment of learner achievements takes place at providers accredited by a relevant ETQA (RSA, 1998b) for the provision of programs that result in the outcomes specified for this unit standard.

Anyone assessing a learner against this unit standard must be registered as an assessor with a relevant ETQA.

Any institution offering learning that will enable achievement of this unit standard must be accredited as a provider with a relevant ETQA.

The relevant ETQA according to the moderation guidelines and the agreed ETQA procedures will oversee moderation of assessment and is responsible for moderation of learner achievements of learners who meet the requirements of this unit standard.

UNIT STANDARD ESSENTIAL EMBEDDED KNOWLEDGE

The following embedded knowledge is addressed in an integrated way in the unit standard:

Credited learners understand and can explain:

Housekeeping and Safety procedures within the context of craft production.

Relevant materials of specific craft production.

Analysing of design specifications

Relevant production processes of craft production.

Principles and procedures of quality assurance measures.

Environmentally sustainable criteria of relevant craft production.

Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO):

UNIT STANDARD CCFO IDENTIFYING

Identify and solve problems when making a selection of materials and make decisions using critical and creative thinking when identifying and selecting materials, tools and equipment.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO ORGANISING

Organise and manage themselves and their activities responsibly and effectively when taking environmental issues in consideration.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO COLLECTING

Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information of design specification.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO SCIENCE

Use technology effectively and critically showing responsibility towards the environment and health of others in choice of materials, tools and equipment.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO DEMONSTRATING

Demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognizing that problem-solving contexts such as selecting materials do not exist in isolation but impact on the environment.

UNIT STANDARD ASSESSOR CRITERIA

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, then 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.
