LSILADD13  Evaluate and improve learning and development provision

Overview           

This standard is about evaluating learning and development provision and planning/implementing quality improvements.

 

Performance criteria

You must be able to:      

 

P1           identify the purpose and scope of the evaluation

P2           identify quality requirements and appropriate measures of performance

P3           identify methods for monitoring, and collecting, managing and analysing data

P4           collect and analyse data according to identified monitoring procedures

P5           identify strengths and areas for improvement

P6           evaluate own contribution to working within quality systems

P7           ensure that potential improvements are realistic and achievable

P8           work with others to plan and implement improvements to learning and development

P9           monitor and evaluate the impact of improvements

 

Knowledge and understanding

 

You need to know and understand:        

 

K1           the key concepts and principles of quality assurance and continuous improvement

K2           the quality requirements appropriate to own work context and work role

K3           how to research and keep up to date with quality requirements relevant to learning and development

K4           industry recognised standards relevant to learning and development and the processes and activities which deliver excellence in the work context being evaluated

K5           how to identify performance indicators relevant to the area of learning and development being evaluated

K6           how to set realistic targets, the contribution that targets can make to evaluation processes and the drawbacks associated with target driven work

K7           the strengths and weaknesses of different monitoring and information collection methods and how to develop and administer these methods

K8           the range, amount and frequency of data – including qualitative and quantitative – that needs to be collected and analysed to give valid information about quality

K9           the contribution that technology can make to the monitoring and evaluation process

K10        the principles of information management and how to establish systems for the monitoring and management of qualitative and quantitative data

K11         processes, procedures and methods involved in data analysis and interpretation

K12         what to monitor for specific purposes and how to record and store it

K13         how to contribute to self-assessment and evaluation processes

K14         the role and functions of individuals and teams in improving quality and raising standards

K15         the importance of involving the learner in quality improvement

K16         how to encourage the learner to contribute to self-assessment processes

K17         the impact of the wider learning environment on the learner experience

K18         how to use feedback to develop own practice specific to the relevant quality systems

K19         how to act on the outcomes of quality assurance, including self- assessment and evaluation

K20         how to contribute to quality improvement plans

K21         how to work with those involved in the learning process to influence and implement quality improvement

K22         the confidentiality and data protection legislation relevant to the collection and storage of information in learning and development
