TAADEL301C Provide training through instruction and demonstration of work skills

Modification History

Not applicable.

Unit Descriptor

This unit specifies the competency required to conduct individual and group instruction and demonstration of work skills.

Application of the Unit

Demonstration of work skills is typically provided by experienced workers or supervisors in the workplace. The focus of this instruction is usually on specific learner and organisation requirements, including workplace induction, learning how to operate new equipment and processes, developing new skills at work, improving efficiency and effectiveness, and meeting safety procedures. A range of delivery techniques should be used to enhance the experience for the learner.

This unit covers the skills required to provide instruction and demonstration of work skills using existing learning resources, in a safe and comfortable learning environment, and to determine the success of both the training provided and personal training performance.

The unit addresses the skills and knowledge required to organise and conduct the instruction and demonstration through a planned approach. It emphasises the training as being driven by the work process and context.

The training may be delivered to achieve competency standards/ units of competency prescribed by a Training Package, or may be delivered to meet organisational requirements.

Skills and knowledge relating to assessment are not covered in this unit. This is addressed in relevant units from the Assessment field of the TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package.

This unit is not equivalent to TAADEL401B Plan and organise group based delivery and/or TAADEL402B Facilitate group based learning and cannot be assessed in place of either of these units.

This unit has been developed to support a wide range of applications across any workplace setting and therefore can be used by any organisation.

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content

Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This section describes the skills and knowledge required for this unit.
Required skills
verbal and non-verbal communication techniques, for example: ask relevant and appropriate questions provide explanations organise and give demonstrations use listening skills provide information clearly engage, motivate and connect with learners provide constructive feedback implement OHS requirements, by acting and responding safely in order to: identify hazards conduct pre-start up checks if required observe and interpret learner behaviour which may put people at risk time management, for example: ensure all learning objectives are covered pace learning reflection skills in order to: identify areas for improvement maintain personal skill development literacy skills to: complete and maintain documentation read and follow learning program/plan read and analyse learner information skills to operate audio-visual and technical equipment
interpersonal skills to: maintain appropriate relationships establish trust use appropriate body language maintain humour demonstrate tolerance manage a group observation skills to: monitor learner acquisition of new skills/knowledge/competency requirements assess learner communication and interaction skills with others identify learner concerns recognise learner readiness to take on new skills/tasks recognising and being sensitive to individual difference and diversity, for example: being sensitive to and valuing culture acting without bias/discrimination responding to individuals with particular needs recognising the importance of religion using equipment for demonstration
Required knowledge
learner characteristics and needs content and requirements of the relevant learning program and/or delivery plan sources and availability of relevant learning resources and learning materials content of learning resources/learning materials training techniques which enhance learning and when to use them, e.g. using: instruction and explanation questioning practice written information group/pair/team activities individual activities coaching skills demonstration learning principles (introductory), for example: learning and experience are connected for meaning adults need to know why they are learning adults can self-evaluate adults learn in different ways different learning styles, (introductory), for example: visual audio theoretical activist reflective
OHS, for example: roles and responsibilities of key personnel in learning environment responsibilities of learners learning environment relevant policies and procedures including hazard identification, risk assessment, reporting requirements, safe use of equipment and emergency procedures hazard identification and risk controls for the specific learning environment organisational policies, systems of operation relevant to specific area of training, e.g. job roles, industrial relations requirements

Evidence Guide

Evidence Guide
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency	Evidence of the following is essential: a minimum of three training sessions involving demonstrating and instructing of particular work skills for different groups. Each session must address different learning objectives, a range of techniques and effective communication skills appropriate to the audience
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure: access to an actual workplace whenever possible. Where no workplace is available, a simulated workplace must be provided assessment must be conducted at different points in time and, in a learning and assessment pathway, these must be separated by further learning and practice Resources required include: the necessary materials for instruction/demonstration access to required technology for instruction/ demonstration developed learning activities
Method of assessment	A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate analysis of responses to case studies and scenarios analysis of responses for identifying processes for checking learning achievement learner evaluations analysis of responses for selecting learning techniques peer evaluations analysis of responses to the provision of practice opportunities for learners questioning (oral or written) analysis of responses to reasons for selecting learning resources and their organisation review of testimony from team members, colleagues, supervisors or managers tests of knowledge on sources of workplace diversity video/observation of a demonstration/instruction
This unit can be assessed alone or as part of an holisitc assessment activity involving relevant units in the TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package or any other Training Package. Suggested units include but are not limited to: TAADEL403B Facilitate individual learning.
