Outcome based Curriculum

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 Occupational Standards
(OS).

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 trainees acquire the set of occupational competences (skills,
knowledge and attitude) required at the working place and defined in the Occupational
Standards (OS). 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 different regional TVET-
Authorities based on the Occupational Standard for Information Technology Services Level IV.
It has the character of a model curriculum and is an example on how to transform the
occupational requirements as defined in the respective Occupational Standard into an
adequate curriculum.

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

1. TVET-Program Design
1.1 TVET-Program Title: Database Administration Level IV

1.2 TVET-Program Description

The Program is designed to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude of the
trainees to the standard required by the occupational standard. The contents of this program
are in line with the Occupational Standard (OS). Trainees who successfully completed this
program need to undergo national assessment and be found competent before he/she is
qualified to work in the Electrotechnology sector in the field of Information Technology
Services.

The prime objective of this training program is to equip the trainees with the identified
competences specified in the OS. Graduates are therefore expected to be able to build
internet infrastructure, determine suitability of database functionality and scalability, monitor
and support data conversion, apply object-oriented programming language skills, develop
website information architecture, determine maintenance strategy, contribute to the
development of strategy, assist with policy development for client support, plan and organize
work, establish quality standards, develop team and individuals, utilized specialized
communication skills and manage and maintain SME business operations.

Eentry point will be on next Learning Module as appropriate

1.6. Target Groups

Any citizen who meets the entry requirements under items 1.7 and capable of participating in
the learning activities is entitled to take part in the Program.

1.7 Entry Requirements

The prospective participants of this program are required to possess the requirements or
directives of the Ministry of Education.

Other requirements:
 ability to speak, read and understand English
 computer literate

1.8 Mode of Delivery

This TVET-Program is characterized as a formal Program on middle level technical skills. The
mode of delivery is cooperative 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 trainees in the industry will give them enough exposure to the actual world of work
and enable them to get hands-on experience.

The cooperative approach will be supported with lecture-discussion, simulation and actual
practice. These modalities will be utilized before the trainees are exposed to the industry
environment.

The 320 hours or 16% of the program duration will be spent in cooperative training and it will
only start after the trainee 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 Trainee 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 trainees’ achievement include

oral or written test, demonstration and on-site observation.
