PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

A person assessed as competent against this unit standard will be able to:

Use theory of teams to effectively lead teams of people in the learning and workplace environment. The learner must be able to identify the purpose and structure of a wide range of teams, taking into account factors such as teams dynamics, culture and organisation.

This competence will enhance the ability of learners and workers to participate in teams. It will also contribute to ensuring that teamwork is more effective in workplaces and in provider organisations, as well as contribute to transforming workplaces into sites of learning.

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

No prior learning is assumed.

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 "e.g." since they are neither comprehensive nor necessarily appropriate to all contexts. Alternatives must however be comparable in scope and complexity.

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria:

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Identify the structure and purpose of a wide range of teams.

OUTCOME NOTES

Identify the structure and purpose of a wide range of teams across a wide range of workplaces and learning environments.

OUTCOME RANGE

Structure includes team organisation, working dynamics and culture.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1

The assessment of a person against this standard should meet the requirements of established assessment principles.

It will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools which are appropriate to the contexts in which the skills will be applied. These activities and tools may include an appropriate combination of self assessment and peer assessment; formative and summative assessment; and portfolios and observations.

The assessment should ensure that all the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes, and essential embedded knowledges are assessed.
1. The specific outcomes must be assessed through observation of performance. Supporting evidence should be used to prove competence of specific outcomes only when they are not clearly seen in the actual performance.
2. Essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in its own right, through oral and written evidence. It cannot be assessed only through seeing the knowledge being applied.
3. The specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in relation to each other. If the person being assessed 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 they are able to perform the specific outcomes but are unable to explain or justify their performance in terms of the essential embedded knowledge, they should also not be assessed as competent.
4. Evidence of the specified critical cross-field outcomes should be found both in performance and in the essential embedded knowledge.
