PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The qualifying learner achieving this unit standard in combination with context expertise standard(s) will be able to lead play activities of own choice for community sport, recreation and fitness in all three disciplines. The learner will be able to encourage and facilitate enthusiastic participation of the target group as well as introduce the benefits of physical activities to the participants.

In addition the learner will be well positioned to extend their learning and practice into other areas of Sport, Recreation or Fitness leadership, or to strive towards Sport, Recreation or Fitness management standards and practice at higher levels.

Competent qualifying learners will lead and facilitate safe, quality and positive experiences to participants and volunteers and thus strengthen the Sport, Recreation or Fitness profession in general.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

A learner aspiring to complete this unit standard has the competencies of, or is concurrently acquiring the following unit standards:
"Deal with Safety and Emergency Incidents (NQF 4)",
"Administer Sport, Recreation and Fitness Activities (NQF 4)".
"Sport, Recreation and Fitness Leadership (NQF 4)".
It is assumed that a learner attempting this unit standard will has communication skills equivalent to NQF level 3 and numeracy and literacy skills equivalent to NQF 1.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE

Guides to the scope and complexity of the specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge are provided in bullet 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

Lead the participants/groups of participants in activities.

OUTCOME NOTES

Lead the participants/groups of participants in activities.
For Example:
Decide on the ground rules.
Decide on the groups or teams according to the rules of the activity.
Explain the rules of the activity and ensure it is understood.
Lead the activity by following the basic rules.

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.

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

Facilitate the process of participation.

OUTCOME NOTES

2. Facilitate the process of participation.
For Example:
Coach basic movement patterns/actions for the activity.
Promote enjoyment.
Solve problems.
Control the group in the indoor or outdoor space.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3

Improvise new activities or equipment or adapt existing activities or equipment to suit the needs of participants.

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)

Ensure that commonalities that exist between a number of unit standards are captured in a way that makes sense for assessment.

Assessing the following will ensure the specific outcomes; essential embedded knowledge and critical-cross-field outcomes are assessed:
Demonstrated ability to make DECISIONS about practice and to ACT accordingly:
1. Participation and involvement in the activity is ensured.
2. Activities are varied and promote interest.
3. Activities are adapted to suit the abilities, needs, available resources and circumstances of the target group.
4. Basic movement patterns are correctly demonstrated to the participants.
5. Participants are encouraged to perform the movement patterns correctly and according to the ground rules.

Demonstrated ability to learn from our actions and to ADAPT PERFORMANCE:
6. Problems are solved timely and solutions/compromises are suggested.
7. Reflect on, measure and evaluate performance in order to improve future practice and learning.
