ORAL QUESTIONING

I. FACILITATE TRAINING SESSION

1. Name at least 3 principles in the CBT delivery system?
o Training is based on the curriculum developed from the competency standards.
- Competency standards are developed in consultation with the industry. Training institutions make use of these
curriculums.
o Learning is modular in its structure.
- Training program is designed and implemented using the modules identified in the curriculum.
o Training delivery is self paced and individualized.
- Pace of learning is driven by the learner. Self paced is not time bound. Learning is complete when the learner can
demonstrate competence. Self pace learning is supported by learning materials, courseware and work sheets to assist
learner management.
o Training is based on work that must be performed.
- The KSA to be learned is determined by the work or tasks to be performed as defined in the competency standards.
o Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the curriculum modules.
- Training materials have a task focus related to the competency standard and their aim is not information transmittal but
experiential learning.
o Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to the industry required standard.
- Evidences are collected in order to judge the learners ability to demonstrate competence. Evidence may be collected by
the learner and the trainer. Evidence is based on the performance of work to the industry standard.
o Training is both on and off the job components.
- Training is divided between learning in a formal classroom/ workshop setting and supervised training in the workplace.
o Allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL).
- RPL allows a learner to present evidence to indicate current competence. Evidence may include qualification, relevant
experience in the industry and sector or competencies gained at another TESDA approved institution.
o Training allows for multiple entry and exit.
- Structure of training program.
o Approved training programs are nationally accredited.
- Institution training programs have the appropriate equipment and resources for training and assessment. Qualified
instructors are certified by registration certificate. After completing the course, learners can be nationally certified.
2. What are the factors considered in selecting training methods?
o CONTENT
o OBJECTIVE
o COST
o TARGET AUDIENCE / TRAINEES
o TIME AND
o RESOURCES

Other factors may be;

o Size of audience large audience requires more formal training methods and less audience participation.
o Maintaining attention through interaction methods which involve the trainees in the instruction have the advantage of
maintaining attention and involving all participants.
o Available resources and infrastructures where resources are limited, the opportunity to use resource intensive techniques
like individual practice and demonstrations may also be limited.
o Duration of the training session and amount of information to be covered in it, methods that involve discussion and
casework take longer than more lecture oriented results.
o Experience of the trainer. Trainer must be comfortable using the chosen method.
o Training aids required to support each method and the time and resources to prepare and use them.
3. What are your bases in sequencing the learning events according to Gagne?
o Gagne suggest that the learning tasks for intellectual skills can be organized in a hierarchy according to;
- Complexity
- Stimulus recognition
 - Response generation
- Procedure following use of terminology, discriminations, concept formation, rule application and problem solving.

The primary significance of the hierarchy is to identify the prerequisites that should be completed to facilitate the learning of
each level. Prerequisites are identified by doing a tasks analysis of the learning/training tasks. Learning hierarchies
provide a basis for sequencing of instruction.

The theory outlines 9 instructional events and corresponding cognitive processes;

1) Gaining perception (reception)

2) Inform the learners of the objectives (expectancy)
3) Stimulating recall of prior learning (retrival0
4) Presenting the stimulus (selective perception)
5) Providing learning guidance (semantic encoding)
6) Eliciting performance (responding)
7) Providing feedback (reinforcement)
8) Assessing performance (retrieval)
9) Enhancing retention and transfer (generalization)

These events serve as the basis for designing instruction and selecting appropriate media (Gagne, Briggs 7 Wager, 1992)

4. Why is it important to provide enough time for trainees to practice?

o The aim of CBT delivery is acquisition of competency and it can only be done by repeated performance.
5. How do you evaluate and discuss feedback to learners?
o All comments should be based on observable behavior and not assumed motives or intents.
o Positive comments should be made first in order to to give the student confidence and gain his/her attention.
o Language should be descriptive of specific behavior rather than general comments indicating value judgments.
o Feedback should emphasize the sharing of information. There should be opportunities for both parties to contribute.
o Feedback should not be too detailed or broad so as to overload the learner.
o Feedback should deal with the behavior the student can control and change.
o Feedback requires the ability to tolerate a feeling of discomfort.
6. Give at least 3 benefits of using instructional materials.
o Provide a wide variety of learning resources and activities.
o Provide learning materials that are available when trainees/ students need them at his/ her own pace.
o Provide structure to the learning process through detailed instructions about what to do and when to do.
o Organize training program by competency including built in feedback for checking each trainee/ student progress
toward mastering a competency.
o Allow a system of learning that trainee/student prefers.
o Ensuring that initially each trainee/ student receives the same instruction as the rest of the group.
7. Why is it necessary to evaluate a training session?
o Evaluation is basis of improvement.
8. Which part of the session plan can you make adjustments based on the session evaluation?
o Changes can be made in presentation, practice, resources and nominal period.

II. UTILIZE ELECTRONIC MEDIA IN FACILITATING TRAINING

1. What are the possible faults or problem areas you may experience when using an LCD?
o There is no communication between computer and LCD
o LCD out of focus
o Busted light bulb
2. What are the advantages of using an LCD?
o Use of an LCD projector in class allows teachers to create demonstrations to accompany their spoken lessons. This
reinforces their points and enhances the learning experience.
o Presentations projected onto a large screen help bring the teaching material to life for the audience, and they make
the information more interesting. This helps teachers keep students attention more effectively.
o Many people are visual learners who greatly benefit by seeing graphics and demonstrations that are incorporated
into class lessons and presented via an LCD projector.
 o Reviewing points to answer students questions becomes much simpler Example, if the presenter is teaching a class
on Microsofts excel spreadsheet program and a student has a question about a particular function, the teacher can
easily demonstrate that function on the screen.
3. What are some of the safety precautions when using an LCD projector?
o Do not stare directly into the lens, this may result to eye damage.
o Never expose the projector to rain or moisture. Keep away from the sources of liquids such as drinks.
o Projector should never be place near or over a radiator or other heating device.
o Handle power cord carefully. This may cause shock or fire.
o Do not attempt to mount the projector on the ceiling yourself. It must ne installed by a qualifies technician. Ceiling
must be strong enough to support/ hold the projector.
o Installation must allow for air flow on all sides.
o When projector is turned off, the cooling fan will continue to operate. Do not turn off the power or pull the plug.
o Clean the filters regularly to avoid blockage of air flow.
o Do not make strong light directly on projection screen to avoid reducing image quality.
o Lamp life is greatly affected by usage, power supply, and temperature.
o When replacement parts are required, be sure to purchase them from the authorized dealer. Third party parts will
void the warranty.
4. How do you clean the air filter of an LCD projector?
o Turn off projector before cleaning.
o Remove filter cover and take out the filter.
o Use small vacuum cleaner designed for computers to suck out the dust from the filter. Do not wash the filter with
soap and water because the chemicals from the soap can damage the filter membranes.
o Remove all dust and dirt from the projector cabinet before inserting the clean filters.
5. Why it is necessary to clean the air filters of the LCD?
o All digital projectors have one or more fans which force air around the projectors operating parts to remove built up
of excess heat. But the surrounding air has dust particles. It is necessary to remove the built up of dusts. Built up of
heat is damaging to the lamp and dusts on the LCD panels can greatly reduce image quality.
o Clean filters regularly.
6. How can you improve the overall life span of the projector lamp?
o Consult the company manuals in order to get the recommendations. Allow projector lamp to cool.do not unplug
until fully cooled.
o Avoid moving the projector until fully cooled.
o Do not turn on and off the projector during use. This is because the surge of power can excites the filament and
damage the projector lamp.
o Utilize the economy or power saving functions that is available. These will extend the projector lamp life as these
lower the brightness of the lamp.
o Never use the projector when the lamp is exposed. When replacing the projector lamp, make sure the access panel
is closed and secured before using the projector.

III. CONDUCT COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT

1. How would you ensure that the evidences you gathered are sufficient and valid?
o Evidence is gathered in various forms and is based on all the components of a specific competency standard in the
current TR.
2. What would you do if the candidate cannot understand the language used in the assessment documents?
o Translate the language in the candidate found to be difficult in the assessment documents in verbal form or local
dialect.
3. How do you ensure the confidentiality of the assessment process?
o Information about the candidate and the assessment outcome is made available only to authorized persons.
Always uphold the integrity of the assessment process.
4. What will you do if the workplace is unsafe for assessment?
o Safety must be observed at all times. Assessment does not limit us to observation of actual work performance in the
workplace. There are evidences gathered in a simulated environment through various structured activities.
5. What will you do if an accident occurred during assessment/
o Immediately stop the assessment. Make sure the candidates are safe. Apply first aid as needed and turn off all
equipment or devices.
6. What evidence gathering method will you used to assess underpinning knowledge?
o The oral questioning and interview are the tools that are used to measure the underpinning knowledge of candidate.
7. How do you ensure that the decision you make is correct?
o Decision is based on the requirements of the unit of competency. It also conforms to the rules of evidence/ evidences
gathered corroborate and support other pieces of evidences and help complete a picture of competent performance.
8. What other evidence gathering methods can be used to assess competence?
o Portfolio
o Third party certifications
o Direct observation with oral questioning
9. Define reasonable adjustment?
o Allowable adjustment designed to ensure that all people are treated equally during the assessment process. This is
made to meet the individual needs of the candidates.
10. What are the different ways of communicating feedbacks?
o Face to face discussion
o Written comments
o Telephone, fax, email
o Combination of methods
