Adapted Learning Material – Courtesy of INSETAINTRODUCTIONWhat is the South African Qualifications Authority?The South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) is a juristic person - that is anentity given a legal personality by the law. The South African QualificationsAuthority Board is a body of 12 members appointed by the Minister of HigherEducation and Training.The objectives of SAQA are to advance the objectives of the NQF;oversee the further development and implementation of the NQF; andCo-ordinate the sub-frameworks.SAQA must advise the Minister of Higher Education and Training on NQF matters in terms of theNQF Act. SAQA must also perform its functions subject to the NQF Act 67 of 2008 and oversee theimplementation of the NQF and ensure the achievement of its objectives.SAQA has the following role with respect to qualifications:1. SAQA must develop and implement policy and criteria, after consultation with the QCs for thedevelopment, registration and publication of qualifications and part-qualifications, which mustinclude the following requirements: The relevant sub-framework must be identified on any document relating to the registration andpublication of a qualification or part-qualification;Each sub-framework must have a distinct nomenclature for its qualification types which isappropriate to the relevant sub-framework and consistent with international practice.2. SAQA must register a qualification or part-qualification recommended by a QC if it meets therelevant criteria;3. SAQA must develop policy and criteria, after consultation with the QCs, for assessment,recognition of prior learning and credit accumulation and transfer.The Education and Training Quality Assurance (ETQA) regulations were also published in 1998 andprovided for the accreditation of Education and Training Quality Assurance bodies. These bodies areresponsible for accrediting providers of education and training standards and qualifications registeredon the NQF, monitoring provision, evaluating assessment and facilitating moderation acrossproviders, and registering assessors. The ETQA responsibilities of SETAs will remain according tothe mentioned SAQA regulations, until such time as the Minister Higher Education and Trainingpublishes new regulations replacing the existing regulations, thereafter the responsibilities will residewith the Quality Council for Trade and Occupations (QCTO).SAQA has the following role with respect to professional bodies: Must develop and implement policy and criteria for recognising a professional body andregistering a professional designation for the purposes of this Act, after consultation with statutoryand non-statutory bodies of expert practitioners in occupational fields and with the QCs;115753 - Conduct Outcomes-Based Assessment - Learner Guide5
Adapted Learning Material – Courtesy of INSETA Recognise a professional body and register its professional designation if the relevant criteriahave been met.What is a National Qualifications Framework?The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) is a comprehensive system approved by the Ministerfor the classification, registration, publication and articulation of quality-assured national qualifications.In short, the NQF is the set of principles and guidelines by which records of learner achievement areregistered to enable national recognition of acquired skills and knowledge, thereby ensuring anintegrated system that encourages life-long learning.115753 - Conduct Outcomes-Based Assessment - Learner Guide6

(SO1) Comparisons between outcomes-based and another form of assessment of learning highlightkey differences in terms of the underlying philosophies and approaches to assessment,including an outline of advantages and disadvantages. (AC1) RPL is explained in terms of its purpose, processes and related benefits and challenges.Explanations highlight the potential impact of RPL on individuals, learning organisations andthe workplace. (AC2)A variety of assessment methods are described and compared in terms of how they could beused when conducting assessments in different situations. (AC3) Key principles of assessment are described and illustrated in practical situations. Thedescriptions highlight the importance of applying the principles in terms of the possible effecton the assessment process and results. (AC4) The approach to giving feedback on assessment results is described in terms of the possibleimpact on candidates and further learning and assessment. (AC5)----------------------------------------1. Outcome Based Training.In outcome based learning, all programs and instructional efforts aredesignedto produce specific, lasting results in learners by the time they leave the training intervention. Outcomesbased training can also be referred to as learner-centered training rather than teacher-centered training.115753 - Conduct Outcomes-Based Assessment - Learner GuideAssessmentActivitiesDefinedOutcomesThree pillars of outcomes based educationLearningProgrammes1.19

Thediversity of learner’s levels of ability and variouslearning styles are not taken into accountOutcomes-Based EducationTeachers are no longer seen as meretransmitters of knowledge, but as facilitators ofmeaningful learningThe classroom and activities are learnercenteredThe focus is on a wide variety of outcomes thathave to be achieved: knowledge, skills,understanding, attitudes, and values. The focusis on the application of both knowledge and skills.Learning and learning programmes are relevantto real-life situations and to the experiences oflearnersCredit is given for prior knowledge and skillsacquired over time outside the formal educationsystemKnowledge and skills are integrated across thelearning areas in order to prepare learners forreal life, where knowledge is seldomcompartmentalizedTeaching MethodologyLearners are expected to think critically, solveproblems creatively, to reason, to reflect, toresearch and to participate activelyFacilitators make use of team and othercollaborative teaching strategies and learnersengage is group/team/pair work, as well asactivities, debates, role play, etc.Learners take responsibility for their own learningby being actively involved in research, debates,experiments, group work, etc.Learners determine their own pace at which theywork.
