Development and Assessment of Non-Technical Skills in the Training Environment
Development and Assessment of Non-technical Skill and competencies in Classroom Training is a challenge for everyone. We will look at some of the important highlights when creating training sessions for assessment purposes and assessing Non-technical Skills in the non-operational training environment.
This includes, but is not limited to, knowledge and understanding of:
- Learning Objectives
- Assessment criteria and Performance Indicators
- Behavioural Markers and indicators
- Type of Assessments – Formative and Summative
- Instructor Competencies and Standardisation
- Group Interaction and dynamics
- Assessment and feedback of performance
We will talk about the benefits of assessments and show you how to prepare and record assessments using our developed assessment matrix. Thorough preparation should ensure assessments to a specified standard and increase the learning effect of the training. Therefore, instructor competence and understanding of assessments and feedback of performance are essential for a good outcome and increasing the value of assessments.
