It is the bridge that links the expected knowledge and performance objectives in Green Technology Compliances (program code: Z-050). Its purpose is to standardized content and practical training delivery among training providers. Module developers and trainers are to utilize this CoS in developing their in-house instructional materials or in DSD environment, a Written Instructional Materials (WIM).

This CoS in Green Technology Compliances (Z-050 CoS) shall contain essential information on the scope and coverage of knowledge, expected performance objectives, trainee entry requirements and performance assessment methodology. Module developers and trainers are to use it as a guideline in which to build units of instructions, lesson plans, practical activities and different modes of assessment.

INTRODUCTION

Since 2008, Malaysia is steadfast and committed towards the development of a green economy. Every aspect of life in Malaysia has started to orientate towards green endeavours. This green orientation has been applied to many different sectors in Malaysia, especially in manufacturing, services, government and households. In mainstreaming green, Malaysian government has chosen the green development through deployment of technology. Malaysia has abundance of natural resources and using technologies help to reduce, reuse, repair and recycle these resources efficiently. Solar photovoltaic technologies generate electricity, while rain harvest technologies are most ideal in Malaysia with tropical rains.

The Department of Skills Development (DSD) supports this development with the introduction of skills training programmes in Green Technologies. One of the skills programme is Green Technology Compliances (program code: Z-050) under the National Competence Standards (NCS). The sole aim is to complement the National Green Technologies Policies under Strategic Thrust No.3 by intensifying human capital development on green technologies. Under the Z-050 programme, the purpose is to up-skill Malaysians citizens with the knowledge, abilities, skills and competency in technologies related to green development.

The Z-050 training programme represents the fundamentals of Green Technology, which complement any vocational skills training programme related to green technologies. It covers a wide scope of knowledge and performance objectives on green technologies in terms of fundamentals, practices, procurement, research and innovation which is contained in this Course of Study (CoS).

COURSE OF STUDY DOCUMENT This CoS will serve as a guideline to module developers and trainers who are responsible for the development of the instructional manual or Written Instructional Manual (WIM) on Green Technology Compliances (program code: Z-050) under the National Competency Standards with Department of Skills Development, Ministry of Human Resource Malaysia. This CoS has detailed out the scope and coverage of desired knowledge and performance objectives to be delivered and assessed. This document has been developed, prepared and proof-read by a volunteering panel of experts and has been specifically tailored for applications relevant to Malaysia.

PURPOSE/USAGE A CoS will provide module developers and trainers with a guide and direction when preparing training materials or Written Instructional Materials (WIM) for the Z-050 Green Technology Compliances programme. This CoS contains: i. information on the training modules titles to be conducted and the sequence of the learning delivery, for a learner to achieve the skill competency required; ii. a set of Abilities which provides a comprehensive description on the knowledge to be delivered for each training module; iii. information pertaining to the scope and coverage of knowledge to be delivered and the abilities to be demonstrated; iv. methodology to assist module developers and trainers in course planning, training implementation, evaluation and monitoring the effectiveness of course delivery; v. vi. vii. methodology to carry out assessment on the understanding of knowledge delivered; guidelines to conduct assessment to determine competency achievement by trainees; and, new methodology in assisting module developers and trainers on developing instructional manual or Written Instructional Manual (WIM) by using the Internet keyword search method, through as Google, Yahoo! and/or Wikipedia.

TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

The NCS Green Technology Compliances (Z-050) is a competent skill training and certification of personnel within the field of Malaysias Green Technology. Being part of the National Competency Standards (NCS), the defined skill abilities are to be incorporated into any vocational skill certificate relevant with green technology.

In pursuant on the greener and cleaner Malaysia, Department of Skill Development (DSD) encourages Malaysian citizens and foreign residents to upskill themselves with green technologies. The trainee entry pre-requirements are set as with followings: a. Open to all Malaysian citizens with minimum age of 16 years; b. Open to foreign passport holders, where the trainee must be pre-approved for the training. For certification purposes, the trainee must received his/her training and assessment within the territory of Malaysia; and c. Trainee does not need to possess any Malaysia vocational skill certificate.

(vi)

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

The Performance Assessment is an appraisal method designed to judge trainees abilities to use specific knowledge and demonstrate newly acquired abilities or skills. The assessment strategies being utilized are divided into three (3) distinct parts: (a) a performance task tasks are assignments (including individual and group case-studies, solution presentations and others) designed to assess a trainees ability to use newly acquired knowledge and abilities, as well as manipulating equipment (such as laboratory equipment, computers, internet search engines, documents and others); (b) a format in which the trainee must responds trainee can either complete the assigned task in front of the Internal Assessor or use a written response sheet on paper or electronically; (c) a predetermined scoring system the trainee is scored by comparing the performance against a set of written criteria, with the final appraisal scoring complying to the requirement of National Competence Standards (NCS):

Not Yet Competent 0 59

Competent 60 -100

The purpose of Performance Assessment is to evaluate the actual process of doing and complying with green technology in Malaysia. These Performance Assessments examine trainees' actual application of knowledge and

abilities/skills in solving assigned problems. In some cases, the solution of the problem may imply (a) the application of a specific procedure learned in class; (b) a combination of procedures; and/or (c) it may require a thoughtful

(vii)

adaptation of trainees' knowledge and abilities/skills. The assessment of trainee's knowledge will eventually focuses on the performance and the result during assessment sessions.

Assessment Method 1: Checklists for Highly Structured Tasks In green technologies, some tasks require systematic procedures that do not yield multiple entry points or exit points. In this case, a check list system can be appropriately used by an assessor or a highly-structured trainee-answer sheet in which each aspect of the procedure and result is described in detail. It is often found the highly-structured format useful when working with largeenrollment classes. Highly -structured assessment tasks provide students with step-by-step instructions to follow. In contrast, less structured assessment tasks give students more opportunity to make judgments in determining the procedures needed to solve the problem.

Assessment Method 2: Collaborative Groups Performance assessment can be administered individually, in pairs, or collaborative groups. If it is administered in pairs or groups, trainee should write in their own answer/response sheet. It is important to keep in mind that when trainees solve the problem in pairs or groups, the goal and the composition of the group will affect the students individual performance. In this context, it should be clear on the criteria of the assessment is (such as how well trainees ability to interact and collaborate with others, creativity, originality and others).

(viii)

Assessment Method 3: Written Examination Performance assessment must include a final written examination that is set in the National Competence Standards (NCS). The examination paper must be structured with either multiple-choice, open or close-ended question or an assignment essay.
