INSTRUCTIONS
Some questions cover underpinning knowledge content and concepts.
These questions are all in a short answer format. The longer questions
requiring the application of concepts are covered in the other
assessments. You must answer all questions using your own words.
However, you may reference your learner guide, and other online or hard
copy resources to complete this assessment.
If you are currently working as part of an Early Childhood
Education/Child Care team, you may answer these questions based on
your own workplace. Otherwise consider what you should do if you were
working as part of an Early Childhood Education/Child Care team.
WHAT IS COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT
The features of a competency-based assessment system are:
 It is focused on what learners can do and whether it meets the
criteria specified by industry as competency standards.
 Assessment should mirror the environment the learner will
encounter in the workplace.
 Assessment criteria should be clearly stated to the learner at the
beginning of the learning process.
 Assessment should be holistic. That is, it aims to assess as many
elements and/or units of competency as is feasible at one time.
 In competency assessment a learner receives one of only two
outcomes – competent or not yet competent.
 The basis of assessment is in applying knowledge for some
purpose. In a competency system, knowledge for the sake of
knowledge is seen to be ineffectual unless it assists a person to
perform a task to the level required in the workplace.
 The emphasis in assessment is on assessable outcomes that are
clearly stated for the trainer and learner. Assessable outcomes
are tied to the relevant industry competency standards where
these exist. Where such competencies do not exist, the
outcomes are based upon those identified in a training needs
analysis.

THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSING NATIONALLY RECOGNISED TRAINING
Developing and conducing assessment, in an Australian vocational
education and training context, is founded on a number of basic
conventions:
The principles of assessment
Assessment must be valid
o Assessment must include the full range of skills and
knowledge needed to demonstrate competency.
o Assessment must include the combination of knowledge and
skills with their practical application.
o Assessment, where possible, must include judgements based
on evidence drawn from a number of occasions and across a
number of contexts.
Assessment must be reliable
o Assessment must be reliable and must be regularly reviewed
to ensure that assessors are making decisions in a consistent
manner.
o Assessors must be trained in national competency standards
for assessors to ensure reliability.
Assessment must be flexible
o Assessment, where possible, must cover both the on and off-
the-job components of training within a course.
o Assessment must provide for the recognition of knowledge,
skills and attitudes regardless of how they have been
acquired.
o Assessment must be made accessible to learners though a
variety of delivery modes, so they can proceed through
modularised training packages to gain competencies.
Assessment must be fair and equitable
o Assessment must be equitable to all groups of learners.
o Assessment procedures and criteria must be made clear to all
learners before assessment.
o Assessment must be mutually developed and agreed upon
between assessor and the assessed.
o Assessment must be able to be challenged. Appropriate
mechanisms must be made for reassessment as a result of
challenge.

The rules of evidence (from Training in Australia by M Tovey, D Lawlor)
CHC50113 Subject 4 Assessment Workbook Version No. 3.3 Produced 13 April 2018
Page 6 © Inspire Education Pty Ltd

When collecting evidence there are certain rules that apply to that
evidence. All evidence must be valid, sufficient, authentic and current;
Valid
o Evidence gathered should meet the requirements of the unit
of competency. This evidence should match or at least reflect
the type of performance that is to be assessed, whether it
covers knowledge, skills or attitudes.
Sufficient
o This rule relates to the amount of evidence gathered It is
imperative that enough evidence is gathered to satisfy the
requirements that the learner is competent across all aspects
of the unit of competency.
Authentic
o When evidence is gathered the assessor must be satisfied
that evidence is the learner’s own work.
Current
o This relates to the recency of the evidence and whether the
evidence relates to current abilities.
THE DIMENSIONS OF COMPETENCY
The national concept of competency includes all aspects of work
performance, and not only narrow task skills. The four dimensions of
competency are:
 Task skills
 Task management skills
 Contingency management skills
 Job role and environment skills

KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
Part A – Holistic Development
1. Nutrition is extremely important in relation to a child’s brain
development.
a) Explain how adequate nutrition before a child’s birth is
important.
b) Explain how adequate nutrition after a child’s birth is
important.
a) There is extensive evidence to show that adequate nutrition
support brain development and enhance later school
performance. Adequate nutrition for pregnant mothers and
infants is necessary for normal brain development. Pregnancy
and infancy are important periods for the formation of the brain,
laying the foundation for the development of cognitive, motor,
and socio emotional skills throughout childhood and
adulthood.Undernutrition may influence brain development by
directly affecting brain processes or indirectly by affecting
children’s experiences and behavior. First, inadequate availability
of nutrients during gestation and infancy affects the structural
and functional development of the brain. Gestation and infancy
are periods of rapid brain development. The neural tube begins to
form 16 days after conception and within 7 months takes on a
form that resembles the adult brain. Nutrients are required for
many of the biological processes that drive this transformation.
For example, they are needed for the creation of new neurons.
The potential mechanisms through which breastfeeding may
improve cognitive development relate both to the composition of
breastmilk and to the experience of breastfeeding. Breastmilk
contains a suite of nutrients, growth factors, and hormones that
are important for brain development, including critical building
blocks such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and choline. In high-
income countries, school-age children who were breastfed as
infants tend to have higher IQs than children who were fed with
formula. Adequate nutrition is important to a child’s brain
development during pregnancy and after birth as it provides all
CHC50113 Subject 4 Assessment Workbook Version No. 3.3 Produced 13 April 2018
Page 20 © Inspire Education Pty Ltd

the appropriate nutrients e.g. folate, protein, fats, zinc, vitamin A,
which is vital for healthy brain development.When a child is
adequately nourished during gestation and infancy, the essential
energy, protein, fatty acids, and micronutrients necessary for
brain development are available during this crucial period, laying
a foundation for lifetime brain function.
b) After birth, child needs to be provided with adeauate nutrition
include: protein, fats, vitamin A and zinc as it develops child's brain.
It develops their brain and they are more likley to adapt new things.
Overall, it can be said that adequate nutrition increases grasping
power opf child.
2. As an Early Childhood educator, it is essential that you support the
brain development of all children in your care.
a) Explain in 4-5 sentences, the importance of discussing
children’s interests with them, in order to stimulate early
brain development.
Guidance: Refer to the National Quality Standards (2018)
and the relevant approved learning framework to support
your answer.
a) National quality standard set high national benchmark for early childhood care
and education that consists 7 quality areas. As per this standard, educators need
to discuss interest of children as it can make educators able in selecting efefctive
strartegies of teaching and accordingly they can develop brain of children. By
understanding their needs only, they can increase knowledge of children by using
teaching strategies accordingly.

b) Explain in 4-5 sentences, the importance of using your
observations of children to support their development.
Guidance: Refer to the National Quality Standards (2018)
and the relevant approved learning framework
b) Observation are known as the key to a good program planning as it
helps educators in understanding both styrengthen and weakned
areas of children. On the basis of observation, educators can focus
on thpse areas in which child is lacking behin and they can increase
their knowledge.
c) Explain in 4-5 sentences, the importance of using routines
as opportunities to foster children’s independence.
Guidance: Make sure you refer to the National Quality
Framework in your answer
c) Routines play a vital role as it alows children to make decision
independently. By encouraging simple and basic routine such as:
washing hands and chanting after taking bath can boost confidence
of children. Good habits and routine make children independent as
they can perform their daily routine functions without help of
others. It develops life skills and make them feel safe.
d) In 4-5 sentences, explain the importance of encouraging
children to explore the environment and biological
resources, in order to positively influence learning and
development.
Guidance: Make sure you refer to the National Quality
Framework in your answer.
d) By encouraging children to explore biological and other resources,
they can increase of children and can engage themin social
activities. When children are socially active then it develops their
knowledge and they learn number of new things.

CASE STUDY C – UNDERSTANDING CHILDREN BEHAVIOUR
Meet Jake. Jake is now 5 years old. He just
started going to Sparkling Stars Childcare
Centre and has been assigned to your care.
You had a talk with his mother, Emilia, to learn
more about Jake. You found out that Emilia had
just separated with her husband after several
years in an abusive relationship. She had serious
concerns for Jake’s safety and how it was
impacting him, and decided it was best for them to move out.
Now Emilia is taking care of Jake on her own as she works full-time as an
admin assistant for an accounting firm. She often has to work until late and
has arranged for the school bus to send Jake to the childcare centre after
his school until she can pick him up on her way home from work.
Scenario 1:
Despite what he has gone through, Jake is a happy and playful kid. He likes
being around other kids and has no problems meeting new people.
However, during his first week at the centre, it was observed that Jake has
violent tendencies when having disagreements with the other kids in the
centre.
He was caught hitting another kid and using bad language while fighting
over some Lego blocks. You have had a talk to Jake about his behavior and
how it is not right to use violence and bad words, however, he started to
panic in fear of being punished for his bad behaviour. His heartbeat
started to race and he started to breathe heavily and sweat profusely. He
stopped responding to your questions until he calmed down a few minutes
after the incident.
1.1 This behaviour raised your concern and made you decide to discuss it
with your supervisor. Simulate a dialogue with your supervisor by
creating a video recording of yourself discussing your concerns
about Jake. You may do it as a monologue or you may invite a friend
to play the part of your supervisor. Keep your recording less than 5
minutes long.
Guidance:
To ensure successful completion of the relevant requirements for this task,
include the following information in your discussion:

Scenario 2:
After the incident on Jake’s first day in the centre,
you decided to conduct further research on Jake’s
case to be able to understand and assist him
better. For the rest of the week, you recorded
your observations on Jake’s behaviour:
On the second day, Jake fought with other kids in
the centre twice during the day. Both fights
started over a disagreement while playing games.
Jake does not like losing and often resorts to name calling and hitting when he
cannot have his way. When you talked to him about his behaviour, he
displayed severe signs of anxiety and frustration and ended up isolating
himself for the rest of the day.
On the third day, Jake had a fight with another kid in the centre over losing a
group race because one of his teammates did not follow the race instructions
correctly. He blamed his teammate for losing the game and used bad language
to express his frustration.
On the fourth day, Jake pushed Lisa, a 5-year-old girl who also goes to the
centre, after she refused to share her snacks with him. When Lisa started
crying and telling Jake she would tell her mum what he did, Jake started to
panic and started crying himself.
On the fifth day, Jake had a fight again with some of the kids because they
didn’t want to include him in their games. Jake started throwing things at
them and when you tried to calm him down, he started having another severe
panic attack.

things that interests him. In all occasions, he drew pictures that showed his
interest for violence and killing animals. In all cases, the pictures he drew are
very bloody and gruesome.

Submit a soft copy of your report along with the completed forms from
Parts 1 and 2.
Part 4: Contributing to program planning
Based on your findings and recommendations, create a childcare
program for each of the child interviewed and observed.
Your childcare program should provide guidance on how the childcare
centre will nurture the children’s development. It should demonstrate
how the centre will offer experiences that will help the children learn
about themselves and the world around them. Your program should
include:
- Planned activities
- Materials, equipment and staff
- Interactions between the children and providers and among other
children in the centre
Your curriculum must reflect your observations of each of the child’s
needs, strengths and interests. It should build new experiences and
expectations based on the children’s background. The program should
allow educators to be intentional in the methods used to support the
children’s needs.
