adjustment to the assessment can be made. Should you receive a ‘Not Yet Competent’ or
‘Resubmit’ result for the assessment you will be given the opportunity to re-submit your
assessment work with any amendments requested by your trainer.
The adjustment may include actions such as:
• Student demonstrating knowledge through verbal discussion to identify correct
answers
• Student demonstrating knowledge through applied skills
• Allowing additional time relating to disability
• Through consultation amending assessment timeframes
• Assistance in the form of the training location to allow easier access
• Accessing relevant equipment or aids to assist the student
• Adjustments to the assessment methods to cater for any special needs (without
effecting the integrity of the outcome)
If a student requests or is identified as requiring reasonable adjustment to the training
and assessment process a detailed training and assessment plan including timetables, notes
regarding the required adjustments, and any related communications regarding the
adjustments must be maintained in the students file.
The RTO Manager must review and authorise any request for ‘reasonable adjustment’ to
ensure that any adjustments and resulting outcomes are not affecting the integrity of the
training and assessment process.
Location of and completion timeframes for assessment
The location of the assessment will depend upon the nature of the assessment. Direct
observation of student’s skills will be assessed in the practical commercial kitchens at
Academia, the timeframes for these assessments will be related to the scheduled times of
the practical classes. Other assessments such as; role plays, in class activities,
presentations and written tests will be conducting in the classroom. The timeframes and due
dates for these assessments, as well as any reports, projects or research s, are documented

KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT
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) Adequate maternal nutrition is essential for fetal growth. Maternal nutritional status
during pregnancy is more essential in determining fetal health since it provides
nutrients that assist brain development. Because it serves as the foundation for the
development of physical, socio-emotional, and cognitive skills throughout infancy and
adulthood. The fetus will struggle to grow if it does not receive adequate nutrients
from the mother.
b) Adequate nutrition is an important aspect in normal brain development. Improper
nutrition can have an impact on brain development by either directly impacting brain
functions or indirectly influencing children's experiences and behaviour. First, poor
food availability during gestation and infancy has an impact on the anatomical and
functional development of the brain. Many of the biological mechanisms that promote
this transition require nutrients. Proper nutrition is critical for brain growth.
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, to stimulate early brain development.
Guidance: Refer to the National Quality Standards and the relevant
approved learning framework to support your answer.
a) As a childhood educator, we are responsible for helping children develop their cognitive,
social, and emotional abilities by providing favourable, safe, stimulating, and responsive
human interactions. Engaging in a discussion, communicating with the children, and
discussing their best interests will boost early brain development by allowing them to
make choices and decisions for their own benefit while learning something from it.
Discussing it with them will make them feel safe and comfortable in the knowledge that
someone cares about them.

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 and the relevant
approved learning framework
b) Observing the children may assist you grasp their strengths, capacities, and flaws.
Observation allows us to follow their growth every day and may give us the impression
that a child is suffering in one of the developmental areas. Later, we can think about this
information and see how it might help us enhance the classroom to better suit their
needs.
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) Program learning opportunities, such as their daily routine, will allow a kid to learn and
improve their feeling of control, satisfaction, positive behaviour, and social skills. Children
learn what to expect at different times of the day as they begin to engage in these
routines. Routines can promote a child's independence by enabling them to make
decisions on their own, such as taking a bath, brushing their teeth, and putting on clothing
they choose when they wake up in the morning.
d) In 4-5 sentences, explain the importance of encouraging children to
explore the environment and biological resources, to positively influence
learning and development.
Guidance: Make sure you refer to the National Quality Framework in your
answer.
d) In the centre, catering to all children's interests and abilities and offering an environment
of opportunity, encouraging children to explore will improve physical activity, cognitive
development, social skills, gross/fine motor coordination, and gross/fine motor
coordination. Through physical activity, children will acquire confidence in themselves
and discover satisfaction. They will have more flexibility to explore their surroundings and
the people around them if they engage with the environment. This will also be an
opportunity for us to learn about their hobbies and inventiveness, as well as to begin
studying their behaviour.

and continues until late
adolescence, focusing on gross
and fine motor abilities. Physical
development entails the growth
of the body, particularly the
muscles and physical
coordination. Physical
development is most often
practiced throughout
childhood.
Cognitive
Development Jean Piaget
The mental action or process of
gaining information via
experience and perception. He
argues that learning occurs in
four stages: sensorimotor (0-2),
pre-operational (2-6), concrete
(7-11), and formal operations
(11-12).
Emotional
/Psychological
Development
Erik Erikson
Babies and toddlers acquire
attachments to their primary
caregivers and begin to develop
trust and empathy.
Social Development Urie Bronfenbrenner
In this way, children begin to
learn excellent conduct,
particularly while interacting
with one another. This process
begins from birth and continues
throughout a person's life; it also
covers moral and spiritual
development in children.
Language
Development Lev Vygotsky
This is vital for children's growth
since it helps them to become
more knowledgeable and self-
assured.
