QUALIFICATION LEVEL: 1 September 2020

Word from Permanent Secretary


The Kajubi Report (1989) and the Uganda Government White Paper on Education
Review (1992) emphasised that the Uganda Secondary School Education should
be vocationalised.

The World Bank Report on education in Uganda 2007 observed that although
Uganda was experiencing steady economic growth on one hand, the secondary
education curriculum was inadequately addressing the social and economic needs
of the country on the other. The Report further noted that it is not the very top
academic cadres that contribute most to the growth of the GDP but rather the
competent middle level technicians that are flexible and technologically literate that
the economy needs in the labour market at all levels.

Correspondingly, the NDP III 2020/21- 2024/5 highlights (i) low labour productivity
(ii) high youth unemployment (38%) (iii) low transition rates from training to
employment (35%) as some of the key challenges to Human Capital Development
in Uganda.

In order to overcome these challenges, NDP III 2020/21- 2024/5, under objective 2
peaks the need to train the learners for the urgently needed skills and mainstream a
dual education and training system. This paved way for the development of the
lower secondary school vocational curriculum which supports both academic and
vocational training.

The afore is in line with the Uganda Vision 2040. Under section 261, it emphasises
that learners will be accorded opportunities to excel in the skills areas they are
placed into. These will range from sports and cut to technical and vocational
training. Hitherto, section 262 clearly states that the entire education system will be
changed to emphasise practical skills, attitude and moral values.

Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Education and Sports rolled out the
New Lower Secondary Curriculum in secondary schools countrywide during the first
term of the academic year 2020. The overall goal of this curriculum is to produce
graduates with employable skills and who are competitive in the labour market. It
should be emphasised that vocational training will produce graduates who are
employable. In the New curriculum, emphasis will be on equipping learners with
employable skills and competencies. This will enable learners perform the requisite
duties of the specified occupations. This is the reason why the lower secondary
school vocational curriculum was tailored to the assessment requirements of the
world of work.

Reading from the Curriculum Framework page 12, it is stated that the learners will
be assessed by DIT. Upon assessment and certification, the graduates will be
employable and competitive in the labour market. It’s against this background that
DIT, within its mandate vested in the BTVET Act, 2008 comes on board to take the
lead in the development of the requisite Assessment and Training Packages (ATPs)
for the various occupations that will be assessed under the Lower Secondary
Curriculum.

UVQF: Assessment and Training Package (ATP) for a NETBALL PRACTITIONER
QUALIFICATION LEVEL: 1 September 2020

The ATPs can be used by any training provider and/or those who wish to present
themselves for Occupational Assessment and Certification.

Herewith, the Directorate of Industrial Training presents the Assessment and


Training Package for training, assessment and certification of a NETBALL
PRACTITIONER QUALIFICATION LEVEL 1.

Finally, I thank all individuals, organisations and review partners who have
contributed and/or participated in the review of this noble document.

UVQF: Assessment and Training Package (ATP) for a NETBALL PRACTITIONER
QUALIFICATION LEVEL: 1 September 2020

Executive Summary
This Assessment and Training Package is a Competence-Based Education and
Training (CBET) tool and consists of three major parts:

0.1 PART I: The Occupational Profile (OP) of a NETBALL PRACTITIONER.


This Occupational Profile which was reviewed by Netball practitioners
practicing in the world of work, mirrors the duties and tasks that Netball
practitioners are expected to perform.

0.2 PART II: Training Modules in the form of guidelines to train Netball
practitioners both on the job as well as in training centres (or combinations of
both venues of learning). The Training Modules herein have been reviewed
basing on the Occupational Profile and hence are directly relevant for
employment.

0.3 PART III: Assessment Instruments in the form of performance (Practical)


and written (theory) test items that can and should be used to assess whether
a person complies with the requirements of employment as a NETBALL
PRACTITIONER. These assessment instruments were reviewed jointly by job
practitioners (Netball Practitioner) and instructors based on the occupational
profile and training modules.

0.4 While the Occupational Profile (OP) contained in PART I of this document
provides the information on WHAT a person is expected to do competently
in the world of work, the test items, - including performance criteria- of PART
III qualify the HOW and/or HOW WELL a person must do the job.

0.5 The modular format of the curriculum (PART II) allows learners to acquire job
specific skills and knowledge (i.e. competencies) module by module. A single
module can be accomplished within a relatively short duration allowing
flexibility for learners to move directly into an entry level job, go for further
modules or advance to higher levels of training. Modular courses allow more
learners to access the training system because training centres as well as
companies can accommodate more learners in a given period of time.

0.6 In addition to improved access, equity and relevance of BTVET, the UVQF will
also enable people who are convinced to have acquired competencies laid
down in this ATP through prior training and on-the-job experience to access
assessment and certification directly; be it on the basis of a single module, a
group of modules or all modules pertaining to the occupation at once. This
achievement will facilitate Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

0.7 The parts of this Assessment and Training Package were sequentially
reviewed as follows:

i Part 1: Occupational Profile: August 2020


ii Part 2: Training Modules: August 2020
iii Part 3: Assessment Instruments (initial bank): August 2020

This ATP (or parts of it) may be periodically revised to match the dynamic trends in
the occupation and hence issued in different versions.

DIT takes responsibility of any shortcomings that might be identified in this


publication and welcomes suggestions for effectively addressing the
inadequacies. The suggestion can be communicated to DIT through P.O. Box
20050, Kampala or through email [email protected].

Key definitions
Assessment Assessment is the means by which evidence is gathered and
judged to decide if an individual has met the stipulated assessment
standards or not. Testing is a form of formal assessment.
Certification Certification is a formal procedure to issue a certificate
(qualification) to an individual that has demonstrated during formal
assessment that he/she is competent to perform the tasks specified
in the occupational profile.

Competence Integration of skills, knowledge, attitudes, attributes and expertise


in doing /performing tasks in the world of work to a set standard.

Competency (Occupational) competency is understood as the ability to perform


tasks common to an occupation to a set standard.

CBET Competence-Based Education and Training means that programs:


1. have content directly related to work
2. focus is on ‘doing something well’
3. assessment is based upon industry work standards, and
4. curricula are developed in modular form

Duty A duty describes a large area of work in performance terms. A duty


serves as a title for a cluster of related Tasks (see also: TASK).

Learning- LWAs are simulated or real job situations / assignments that are
Working suitable for learning in a training environment (e.g. “small
Assignment projects”). In a working environment, LWAs are real work
(LWA) situations/assignments.

Module Modules are part(s) of a whole curriculum. Modules can be


considered as “self-contained” partial qualifications which are
described by learning outcomes or competencies and which can be
assessed and certified individually.

Occupational An Occupational Profile is an overview of the duties and tasks a job


Profile (OP) incumbent is expected to perform competently in employment.

Occupational Profiles developed by practitioners from the world of


work enhance the relevance of training and learning to the
requirements of the world of work.

x
UVQF: Assessment and Training Package (ATP) for a NETBALL PRACTITIONER
QUALIFICATION LEVEL: 1 September 2020

Occupational Profiles define what a person is supposed to do in


performance terms. It also contains generic information
regarding related knowledge and skills, attitudes/behavior, tools,
materials and equipment required to perform as well as trends/
concerns in the occupation.

Occupational profiles are the reference points for developing


modular curricular and assessment standards

Qualification A qualification is a formal reward for demonstrating competence,


based on formal assessment against set standards and provided
to the individual in the form of a certificate specifying the nature
of the competence.

Task Job tasks represent the smallest unit of job activities with a
meaningful outcome. Tasks result in a product, service, or
decision. They represent an assignable unit of work and have a
definite beginning and ending point. Tasks can be observed and
measured. (Also see: Duty)

1.0 ATP-PART I
Occupational Profile for a NETBALL PRACTITIONER
1.1 The OCCUPATIONAL PROFILE (OP) for “Netball Practitioner below defines
the Duties and Tasks a competent Netball Practitioner is expected to
perform in the world of work (on the job) in Uganda and the East African
region today.

1.2 Since it reflects the skill requirements of work life, the Occupational Profile is
the reference document for the subsequent development of training modules
and assessment instruments (test items) which are directly relevant to
employment in Ugandan and the East African businesses and industries.

1.3 To ensure that the Occupational Profile is relevant for employment in Uganda
and East Africa, the DIT used the method of “occupational/job profiling.

This approach involves the brainstorming of a panel of 8 to 12 competent job


practitioners guided by trained and experienced facilitators. During a two-day
workshop the panelists define the duties and tasks performed in employment,
as well as the prerequisite skills, knowledge, attitudes, tools and equipment,
and the future trends and concerns in the occupation/job.

1.4 The panelists, facilitators and coordinators who participated in developing this
Occupational Profile for are listed on the following page.

2.0 ATP-PART II
Training Modules for a NETBALL PRACTITIONER
2.1 A curriculum is a “guide / plan for teaching and learning” which provides a
guide to teachers, instructors and learners. In the envisaged system of
competence-based or outcome-oriented education and training (CBET),
Curricula are no longer the benchmark against which assessment is
conducted. It is rather the Occupational Profile and the related Test Items
that provide the benchmark for assessment as well as for Curriculum
development.

2.2 This modular format of the curriculum allows learners of the Netball
Practitioner occupation to acquire job specific skills and knowledge (i.e.
competencies) module by module. A single module can be accomplished
within a relatively short duration allowing learners to move directly into an
entry level job, do further modules and advance to higher levels of training.
Modular courses allow more learners to access the training system because
training centers as well as companies can accommodate more learners in a
given period of time.

2.3 The modules were developed jointly by both instructors from training centers
and job practitioners. They were developed using the Occupational Profile
as a reference point and taking into account the specifications of training
and learning outcomes in the form of Test Items described in Part II.

2.4 The modules contain “Learning-Working Assignments” (LWAs) and related


“Practical Exercises” (PEXs) as key elements.

LWAs are simulated or real job situations / assignments that are suitable for
learning in a training environment (e.g. “small projects”). In a working
environment, LWAs are real work situations.

PEXs are therefore sub-sets of a LWA.

2.5 In principle, and following the philosophy of Competence-Based Education


and Training (CBET), the modules can be used as a guide for learning in a
training center or at the work place; or combinations of both.

Assessment Instruments for a NETBALL
PRACTITIONER
3.1 Assessment of occupational competence is the procedure by which evidence is
gathered and judged to decide if an individual (candidate) has met the stipulated
assessment standards.

3.2 Assessment of occupational competence should comprise of both practical


(performance) testing and written (theory/knowledge) testing.

3.3 Based on the Occupational Profile and Training Modules, a combined panel of
job practitioners and instructors developed a substantial number of test items for
assessing (practical) performance as well as items for assessing occupational
knowledge (theory) all stored in an electronic Test Item Bank (TIB) at the
Directorate of Industrial Training.

3.4 Performance (Practical) Test Items (PTI) are closely related to typical work
situations in Ugandan business enterprises. They comprise of a test assignment
for candidates and assessment criteria and/or scoring guides for assessors’ use.

3.5 Written Test items (WTI) for written testing of occupational theory, (knowledge)
are presented in different forms which include:
• Short answer test items,
• Multiple choice test items and
• Matching test items.

These WTIs herein focus on functional understanding as well as trouble-shooting


typically synonymous with the world of work.

3.6 Composition of assessment/test papers will always require good choices of


different types of WTI in order to ensure the assessment of relevant occupational
knowledge required of candidates to exhibit competence.

3.7 The test items contained in the Test Item Bank may be used for
continuous/formative assessment during the process of training as well as for
summative assessment of candidates who have acquired their competences
non-formally or informally.

3.8 In this document, the following samples of test items for assessing both
performance (practical) and occupational knowledge (theory) of a NETBALL
PRACTITIONER are included:

INFORMATION ON DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
4.1 Development process (September 2020)

The Assessment and Training Package was exclusively developed by Netball


Practitioners, secondary school teachers who train Physical Education, and
curriculum development specialists working with the National Curriculum
Development Centre (NCDC).

The job expert panel, guided by UVQF Facilitators developed the Occupational
Profile that mirrors duties and tasks performed in the world of work and also
provided additional generic information regarding the occupation.

Basing on the Occupational Profile, they developed training modules that will
guide Netball Practitioners on the job as well as in training centres.

Basing on the Occupational Profile and Training Modules, they developed


Assessment Instruments that can be used to assess whether a person complies
with the requirements of employment as a Netball practitioner.

4.2 Methodology

The rationale for the Assessment and Training Package development was to link
Vocational Education and Training to the real world of work by bridging
Occupational Standards to Training Standards through industry-led Standards-
Based Assessment.

Active participation of Soccer trainers, job practitioners and NCDC Physical


Education specialist panels consolidated the development philosophy.

The panelists worked as teams in workshop settings complemented by off-


workshop field research and literature review activities including international
benchmarking.

4.3 Development Panels


The participating panels of Netball Practitioner job practitioners, secondary
school teachers who train Physical Education and curriculum development
specialists working with the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC)
