Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

produce a coherent body of photomedia work using well-developed conceptual and technical skills

research traditional and contemporary photomedia options for application to own work

apply safe work practices for the technologies being used.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure access to:

a range of photomedia technologies as required by the creative work.

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 observation of work in progress, including exploration of, and experimentation with, techniques

evaluation of technical proficiency within a body of work produced by the candidate

evaluation of processes used by the candidate to evolve and refine photomedia projects

evaluation of the work documentation

questioning and discussion about candidate’s intentions and the work outcome

review of portfolios of evidence

review of third-party reports from experienced practitioners.

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

communication skills to discuss abstract and complex ideas with others

critical thinking skills to:

compare contemporary styles and conceptual/aesthetic approaches to photomedia

employ reflective questioning to analyse own work

literacy skills to interpret technical information associated with different technologies

numeracy skills to work with technical features of photomedia technologies

problem-solving skills to solve technical and conceptual challenge in photomedia projects

learning and self-management skills to review own work to inform professional development

planning and organising skills to organise equipment and work processes

technology skills to work with advanced features of photomedia technologies

Required knowledge

range of traditional, current and emerging options for the use of photomedia in the context of creative practice

traditional and contemporary issues that inform the use of photomedia in creative practice

intellectual property issues and legislation that affect the use of photomedia

sustainability issues associated with photomedia materials, tools and equipment

OHS requirements for working with photomedia
