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!

ICTDAT502 - Conduct significance tests

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare to conduct significance test

  1. Analyse organisational requirements for significance testing and determine hypothesis for testing
  2. Determine testing boundaries and data validation methods
  3. Select all required data and its sources
  4. Plan and document data extraction procedure
  5. Plan and document significance testing activities according to organisational requirements
  6. Extract and secure data according to task requirements
  7. Normalise and structure data according task requirements
  8. Initiate data analysis and determine correct progression
  9. Manipulate variables within data according to task requirements
  10. Obtain testing results from required sources
  11. Analyse test findings and determine testing has been completed according to test plan and task requirements
  12. Analyse test findings and conclude hypothesis
  13. Document testing activities and findings according to task requirements
  14. Communicate findings with required personnel and seek and respond to feedback
  15. Lodge documents according to organisational requirements
