Preface

The reformed Ethiopian TVET-System is an outcome-based system. It utilizes the needs of

the labor market and occupational requirements from the world of work as the benchmark
and standard for TVET delivery. The requirements from the world of work are analyzed and
documented – taking into account international benchmarking – as Ethiopian Occupational
Standards (EOS).

In the reformed Ethiopian TVET-System, Curricula and Curriculum Development play an

important role with regard to quality driven TVET-Delivery. Curricula help to facilitate the
learning process in a way, that learners acquire the set of occupational competencies (skills,
knowledge and attitude) required at the working place and defined in the Ethiopian
Occupational Standards (EOS). Responsibility for Curriculum Development will be given to
the Regional TVET-Authorities and TVET-Providers.

This curriculum has been developed by a group of experts from TIGRAY regions, regional
authority and different sectors based on the Ethiopian Occupational Standard ON-SITE
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT. It has the character of a model
curriculum and is an example on how to transform the occupational requirements as defined
in the respective Ethiopian Occupational Standard into an adequate curriculum.

The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by the
Tigray TVET agency– in line with one of its mandates to provide technical support to
the region – and by the TVET-Reform Component of the Engineering Capacity Building
Program.

This TVET-Program is characterized as a formal Program on middle level technical
skills. The mode of delivery is co-operative training. The TVET-institution and identified
companies have forged an agreement to co-operate with regard to implementation of this
program. The time spent by the learners in the industry will give them enough exposure
to the actual world of work and enable them to get hands-on experience.
The co-operative approach will be supported with lecture-discussion, simulation and
actual practice. These modalities will be utilized before the learners are exposed to the
industry environment.
Organization of cooperative training will be in the Building, Water works and Road
construction industry. The 40 hours of the program duration will be spent in-cooperative
training and it will start parallel to the in school training and/or after the learner
successfully completed all the modules in this program.

1.10. Institutional Assessment

Two types of evaluation will be used in determining the extent to which learning outcomes
are achieved. The specific learning outcomes are stated in the modules. In assessing them,
verifiable and observable indicators and standards shall be used.

The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form part of the
learning process. Formative evaluation provides the learner with feedback regarding
success or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It identifies the specific learning errors
that need to be corrected, and provides reinforcement for successful performance as well.
For the trainer/facilitator, formative evaluation provides information for making
instruction and remedial work more effective.

Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules in the
unit of competence have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which competence
have been achieved. And, the result of this assessment decision shall be expressed in the
term ‘competent or not yet competent’.

Techniques or tools for obtaining information about learners’ achievement include oral or
written test, demonstration and on-site observation.

1.11. Trainer’s / Facilitator’s Profile

 For this particular TVET Program, trainers / facilitators are expected to have
completed 1st Degree and willing to take competence examination for B level trainer in
related fields of studies and have satisfactory practical experiences or equivalent
qualifications.

clearly the nature and scope of the work, including prescriptive and performance
requirements
2.3 Undertaking research to establish appropriate schedules, using relevant data sources.
2.4 Tabulating and cross-referencing details to ensure consistency between the design brief, the
working drawings and the specifications.
2.5 Conforming details in the specification to industry codes of practice, Ethiopian codes of
standards and relevant statutory requirements.
2.6 Requesting Information from specialists, colleagues and clients is coordinated and added to
the specifications where required
LO3. Prepare the specification document
3.1 Identify types of specification and their use.
