Practical Assessment
PREFACE
The Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA) is
an institution created under the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship
Training Act Number13 of 1998, as amended by the Technical Education, Vocational and
Entrepreneurship Training (Amendment) Act Number 11 of 2005.
The Act among other things provides that TEVETA shall:
(a) regulate and conduct national examinations and assessments relating to technical
education, vocational and entrepreneurship training;
(b) charge and collect fees in respect of examinations, assessments and other services
provided by the Authority;
(c) award certificates to persons who succeed in examinations and assessments
undertaken under this Act
(d) do all such things connected with or incidental to the functions of the Authority under
this Act.
Through this mandate, the Assessment and Qualifications Division of TEVETA has
developed Practical Assessment Tool Kits to enable learners achieve the competences that
are congruent with the demand of the workplace tasks. These tool kits in part are also
intended to ensure that similar conditions under which all students in TEVET are assessed
and examined apply wherever the course is undertaken in Zambia.
The Trainers shall work with theLearnersto collect evidence of competence, using the
benchmarks provided by the unit standards.During the year, the Learners shall be required to
undertake a series of practical assessment tasks. It is the sum of all these assessments
tasks that deems a Learner to be competent (or not).
This approach to assessment is not a one-off event but one that giveslearners many
opportunities to demonstrate skill and allow for the capturing and recording of these
demonstrations.
For the Learner to be deemed competent, they must demonstrate competency in every
aspect of the practical tasks being undertaken. It must however be understood by the
Trainer that Competency does not mean expert. It means that the candidate has attained
sufficient skill and knowledge to perform the activity or service to a degree and quality that is
acceptable to the industry and the customer in a time within which a competent person at the
level could reasonably be expected to perform the task.
While this will be undertaken at institutional level, it is therefore envisaged that the
Assessment principles of VALIDITY, RELIABILITY, FAIRENESS and FLEXIBILITY shall at all
times be adhered to.
