Pl.IRPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION

Purpose:

This qualification will be useful to those who assist in general forestry activities at an entry level as part ofateam. This qualification recognises entry-level skills in establishing, maintaining, protecting and harvestingplantations while enhancing safety and productivity in forestry. Protection activities incJude clearing .firebreaks and suppressing .firesas back up, not as part of a proto-team.

Recipients oUhisqualification are able to:

> Communicate. in a variety of ways.> Use numeracy in real life situations.> Participate in wildfire suppression.> Participate in harvesting trees,> Participate in plantation establishment.> Participate in general plantation maintenance.

Recipients will also be able to participate in pine, gum or wattle-related plantation maintenance, supportwildfire suppression or participate in timber extraction depending on their choice of electives.

The qualification is designed to be fiexible and accessible so that people are able to demonstrate thecompetencies required to work safely and effectively in forestry operations.

Rationale:

The majority of the learners for this qualification .are likely to be working in the forestry sub-field, but withoutany formal qualification. There is.a critical need in the industry to identify and recognise people who are ableto conduct the essential operations associated with efficient and safe forestry operations. The qualificationwill give them the opportunity to balance their practical skills with the essential operations associated withefficient and safe forestry operations.

RECOGNIZE PREVIOUS LEARNING?

Y

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACEIt is assumed that learners embarking on learning programmes towards this qualification are alreadycompetent at ABET-3 Communications and Mathematical Literacy.

Recognition of prior learning:

Critical Cross-Field Outcomes

This qualificationaddresses the following Critical Cross-Field Outcomes, as detailed in the Unit Standards:

> Identifyingand solving problems in which responses indicatethat responsibledecisions using critical andcreative thinking have been made.> Working effectively with others as a member of a team, group,organisationor community.> Organising and managingoneself and one's activities responsibly and effectively.> Collecting, analysing, organisingand critically evaluating information.> Communicatingeffectivelyusing visual, mathematical and/or languageskills in the modes of oraVwritlenpersuasion.> Using science and technology effectively and critically, showingresponsibility towards the environmentand health of others.> Demonstratingand understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that problemsolving contexts do not exist in isolation.

Leaming programmesdirected towards this qualificationwill also contributeto the full personaldevelopmentof each learnerand the social and economic developmentof the society at large, by makingindividualsaware of the importanceof:

;> Reflecting onand exploring a varietyof strategies to learn moreeffectively.> Participating as responsiblecitizens in the life of local, national and global communities.> Being culturallyand aestheticallysensitive across a range of social contexts.> Exploring educationand career opportunities; and developing entrepreneurial opportunities.

ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

> Waste is cleared as per given instructions.

4.> Plantations are maintained according to plan.> Trees are debarked and pruned as per given requirements.> Tools and materials are used in line with industry safety standards.

5.> Conservation and environmental issues are described in terms of given definitions.> Community issues are identified in relation to conservation.

6.> Financial issues are addressed according to basic financial principles.> Basic work requirements are described in line with given instructions.> Basic responsibilities are described in terms of company documentation..

Integrated assessment

The integrated assessment allows the learners the opportunity to show that they are able to utilize concepts,ideas and actions across the unit standards. This will allow learners to achieve competency that is inkeeping with the purpose of the qualification.

An integrated assessment will indicate how theoreticalleaming is demonstrated in a practical environmentin such a way that the application of the work learnt becomes second nature.

In conducting an assessment, the quality of the performance must also beevalualed i.e. both theperformance and the thinking behind the action must be qualitative.

The assessment should include both formative and summative options and should use various assessmenttools l.e. not by observation only. It is required that a Portfolio of Assessment form part of the surnrnatveassessment, with practical outcomes being demonstrated in a simulated or real work place situation.

Abroad range of task-orientated and theoretical tools .may be used, with the distinction between practicalknOWledge and disciplinary knowledge being maintained.

It is recommended that the assessment tools give learners the opportunity to account for their decisionmaking and problem solVing in line with the specific outcomes and related assessment criteria.

As a result of this qualification being generic in forming the foundation for a career in forestry industry,learners should be assessed in occupational contexts and activities. The assessment should ensure thatthe foundational skills are portable and prepare them for further leaming, whatever career path they maychoose.

Assessors should take note of the following general principles when designing and conducting assessments:

> Focus the initial assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcomes .expressed inthe titles of the unit standards to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember thatwe want to declare the person competent in terms of the qualification purpose. Where assessment at titlelevel is unmanageable, then the assessment should be focussed on each specific outcome, or groups ofspecific outcomes. Take special note of the need for integrated assessment.

> Ensure that assessment is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies. Assessment actlvmesshould be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-players are used,there should be supporting evidence to prove that the learner is able to perform in the real situation.

INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY

There are no international qualifications that could be found to compare to this qualification directly,although there was sufficient overlap in a New Zealand qualification and a set of UK qualifications tovalidate the design of this qualification. The need for a level 1 general forestry qualification appears to beunique to South Africa, with the entry qualifications in other countries being slightly higher, but with similarrequirements.

The following level 2 unit standards in New Zealand compare favourably with those in this qualification,although the emphasis in the New Zealand unit standards is on knowledge, whereas the need expressed inthe South African qualification is for practical applications of that knowledge.
