Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1.5 Seek and respond to documentation feedback according to organisational policies and procedures

2. Design relational database

2.1 Design entity-relationship (ER) diagram to model relationships between entities, including entity attributes according to functionality requirements

2.2 Define primary and foreign keys and implement relationships

2.3 Normalise database model

2.4 Develop data dictionary and detail entity attributes according to functionality requirements

2.5 Document ER diagram and data dictionary, including data model, and submit to required personnel

2.6 Seek feedback from required personnel, and update data model according to feedback

3. Create relational database

3.1 Use required language on web and database server to create relational database according to confirmed task design

3.2 Create tables according to required language and ER diagram

3.3 Populate database fields according to task requirements

3.4 Test and fix database problems on web and database server

4. Finalise relational database and required documentation

4.1 Determine alignment between represented information and task requirements

4.2 Confirm and submit all task documentation to required personnel

4.3 Seek and respond to feedback on task delivery and documentation

4.4 Save changes and obtain final task signoff from required personnel

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

Skill 

Description 

Oral communication

  • Obtains and responds to information and feedback from required personnel using succinct verbal language

Reading

  • Analyses textual information to establish requirements

Writing

  • Prepares required documentation detailing requirements, ER diagram and data dictionary using required format and cohesive and language

Teamwork

  • Applies protocols governing what to communicate, with whom and how, in a range of work contexts

Planning and organising

  • Plans a range of routine, and some non-routine, tasks, accepting stated goals and required outcomes

Problem solving

  • Uses formal decision-making process, setting and clarifying goals, gathering information and identifying and evaluating several choices against a limited set of criteria
  • Applies formal problem-solving processes when tackling unfamiliar problems, breaking complex issues into manageable parts and identifying and evaluating options for action

Self-management

  • Follows explicit and implicit procedures and meets expectations associated with own role when submitting documentation for approval and completing task requirements

Technology

  • Demonstrates an understanding of key principles and concepts underpinning design and operation of digital systems and tools and applies these when designing and creating a database
