• Plan and prepare for facilitation.
• Facilitate learning; and
• Evaluate learning and facilitation

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1

Plan and prepare for facilitation.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1
Analysis of learners and learning needs reveals the key elements of learning required to achieve defined outcomes. The learning outcomes are confirmed to meet stakeholder objectives.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE
Stakeholders may include but are not limited to – learners, trainers, colleagues, supervisors, management, quality assurance staff, and health and safety staff.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2
Plans cater for the needs of learners and stakeholders, possible learning barriers, previous learning experiences, literacy and numeracy levels, language, culture, special needs and different learning styles.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3
Resources, locations, and personnel are arranged to suit the intended delivery.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4
Learning material is prepared to suit the purpose of the facilitated activities and the agreed outcomes.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION RANGE
Learning material could include notes, diagrams, worksheets, audio and visual aids and models

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5
The facilitation methods selected are appropriate to the learners and agreed learning outcomes. Descriptions are provided of a variety in terms of their essential approach and purpose, and selected methodologies are justified in terms of applicability to the identified learning needs.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 6
Preparation of the facilitation process ensures the facilitator is ready to implement the process. This includes the availability of key questions, scenarios, triggers, challenges, problems, tasks and activities as appropriate to the situation.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 7
The learning environment is arranged to meet organisational and legislative requirements for safety and accessibility.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 8

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2

Facilitate learning.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1
Learning is facilitated in a coherent manner using appropriate methodologies in line with established principles associated with selected methodologies.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2
The learning environment and facilitation approach promotes open interaction and ensures learners are aware of expected learning outcomes and are active participants in their own learning.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3
The facilitation approach and use of facilitated activities enable learners to draw from and share their own experiences and work out and apply concepts for themselves.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4
Facilitation contributes to the development of concepts through participation and provides opportunities to practise and consolidate learning. Facilitation promotes the achievement of agreed learning outcomes by individuals while maintaining an emphasis on the manner and quality of the learning experience.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5
Groups are managed in line with facilitation principles and in a manner that maximises the strengths of group learning while recognising the needs and requirements of individual members.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 6
Questioning techniques are consistent with the facilitation approach, promote learner involvement and contribute toward the achievement of learning outcomes.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 7
Opportunities are created to monitor learners’ progress in terms of the agreed outcomes, and where possible facilitate the gathering of evidence for assessment purposes. Where necessary, modifications are made to the facilitation approach to ensure the learners’ needs are addressed.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3

Evaluate learning and facilitation.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1
Learner and stakeholder feedback on facilitated learning is sought and critically analysed against review criteria.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2
The review reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the planning, preparation and facilitation of learning.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3
The review includes useful recommendations for improvement in future interventions, including the possibility of remedial actions.
