3.1. TRAINING DELIVERY

The delivery of training should adhere to the design of the curriculum. Delivery
should be guided by the 10 basic principles of the competency-based TVET.
 The training is based on curriculum developed from the competency
standards;
 Learning is modular in its structure;
 Training delivery is individualized and self-paced;
 Training is based on work that must be performed;
 Training materials are directly related to the competency standards and the
curriculum modules;
 Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of
work to the industry required standard;
 Training is based both on and off-the-job components;
 Allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current competencies;
 Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and
 Approved training programs are nationally accredited.

The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery

modes, both on and off-the-job as long as the learning is driven by the
competency standards specified by the industry. The following training modalities
may be adopted when designing training programs:
 The dualized mode of training delivery is preferred and recommended.
Thus programs would contain both in-school and in-industry training or
fieldwork components. Details can be referred to the Dual Training System
(DTS) Implementing Rules and Regulations.
 Modular/self-paced learning is a competency-based training modality
wherein the trainee is allowed to progress at his own pace. The trainer
facilities the training delivery.
 Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality wherein fast learners are
given the opportunity to assist the slow learners.
 Supervised industry training or on-the-job training is an approach in training
designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the trainee through actual
experience in the workplace to acquire a specific competencies prescribed
in the training regulations.
 Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority of the
instruction occurs when the students and instructors are not in the same
place. Distance learning may employ correspondence study, or audio,
video or computer technologies.

SECTOR SPECIFIC

1. ADO.NET - is a set of computer software components that programmers can use to

access data and data services. It is a part of the base class library that is included with
the Microsoft .NET Framework. It is commonly used by programmers to access and
modify data stored in relational database systems, though it can also access data in non-
relational sources. ADO.NET is sometimes considered an evolution of ActiveX Data
Objects (ADO) technology, but was changed so extensively that it can be considered an
entirely new product.
2. ASP.NET - is a web application framework developed and marketed by Microsoft to
allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services.
ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (CLR), allowing programmers to
write ASP.NET code using any supported .NET language.
3. Algorithm - is a type of effective method in which a list of well-defined instructions for
completing a task will, when given an initial state, proceed through a well-defined series
of successive states, eventually terminating in an end-state. The transition from one state
to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as probabilistic
algorithms, incorporate randomness.
_________________________________________________________________________________ 53
TR – Programming (.Net Technology) NC III Promulgated____________ 2013
 4. Artificial intelligence programmer - develops the logic the game uses to carry out a
large number of actions. An AI programmer may program pathfinding, strategy and
enemy tactic systems. This is one of the most challenging aspects of game programming
and its sophistication is developing rapidly.
5. Browser – a software package that provides the user interface for accessing Internet,
intranet and extranet Web sites.
6. COBOL - is one of the oldest programming languages. Its name is an acronym for
COmmon Business-Oriented Language, defining its primary domain in business,
finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments.
7. Compiler - is a computer program (or set of programs) that transforms source code
written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer
language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code). The
most common reason for wanting to transform source code is to create an executable
program.
8. Computer – a device that has the ability to accept data; internally store and execute a
program of instructions; perform mathematical, logical, and manipulative operations on
data; and report the results.
9. Computer program - also a software program, or just a program, is a sequence of
instructions written to perform a specified task for a computer. A computer requires
programs to function, typically executing the program's instructions in a central
processor. The program has an executable form that the computer can use directly to
execute the instructions. The same program in its human-readable source code form,
from which executable programs are derived (e.g., compiled), enables a programmer to
study and develop its algorithms.
10. Computer programming - is the iterative process of writing or editing source code.
Editing source code involves testing, analyzing, and refining, and sometimes
coordinating with other programmers on a jointly developed program. A person who
practices this skill is referred to as a computer programmer, software developer or coder.
The sometimes lengthy process of computer programming is usually referred to as
software development.
11. Computer Terminal – any input/output device connected by telecommunications links to
a computer.
12. C language - is an imperative (procedural) systems implementation language. It was
designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level
access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine
instructions, and to require minimal run-time support. C was therefore useful for many
applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language.
13. C++ language - is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-
purpose programming language. It comprises a combination of both high-level and low-
level language features. Some of its application domains include systems software,
application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and
client applications, and entertainment software such as video games.
14. Data - objective measurements of the attributes (characteristics) of entities such as
people, places, things, and events.
15. Data access - typically refers to software and activities related to storing, retrieving, or
acting on data housed in a database or other repository. Historically, different methods
and languages were required for every repository, including each different database, file
system, etc., and many of these repositories stored their content in different and
incompatible formats.
16. Decompiler - is the name given to a computer program that performs the reverse
operation to that of a compiler. That is, it translates a file containing information at a
relatively low level of abstraction (usually designed to be computer readable rather than
human readable) into a form having a higher level of abstraction (usually designed to be
human readable)
_________________________________________________________________________________ 54
TR – Programming (.Net Technology) NC III Promulgated____________ 2013
 17. Documentation – a collection of documents or information.
18. Edit – to modify the form or format of data
19. End user – anyone who uses an information system or the information it produces.
20. Ergonomics - the science and technology emphasizing the safety, comfort, and ease of
use of human-operated machines. The goal of ergonomics is to produce systems that
are user-friendly: safe, comfortable and easy to use.
21. HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language - is the predominant markup
language for web pages. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of "tags"
surrounded by angle brackets within the web page content. It is the building blocks of all
basic websites.
22. Information – data placed in a meaningful and useful context for an end user.
23. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) - refers to technologies
associated with the transmission and exchange of data in the form of sound, text, visual
images, signals or any combination of those forms through the use of digital technology.
It encompasses such services as telecommunications, posts, multimedia, electronic
commerce, broadcasting, and information technology.
24. Integrated development environment (IDE) - is a software application that provides
comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE
normally consists of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build automation
tools, and (usually) a debugger. Typically an IDE is dedicated to a specific programming
language, so as to provide a feature set which most closely matches the programming
paradigms of the language. However, some multiple-language IDEs are in use, such as
Eclipse, ActiveState Komodo, recent versions of NetBeans, and Microsoft Visual Studio.
25. Java - is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is
specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is
intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is currently one
of the most popular programming languages in use, and is widely used from application
software to web applications
26. Java applications - are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.
27. Local Area Network (LAN) – a communications network that typically connects
computers, terminals, and other computerized devices within a limited physical area
such as an office, building, manufacturing plant and other work sites.
28. Microsoft .NET Framework - is a software framework that can be installed on
computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems. It includes a large library of
coded solutions to common programming problems and a common language
infrastructure that manages the execution of programs written specifically for the
framework. The .NET Framework supports multiple programming languages in a manner
that allows language interoperability, whereby each language can utilize code written in
other languages; in particular, the .NET library is available to all the programming
languages that .NET encompasses.
29. Microsoft SQL Server - is a relational model database server produced by Microsoft. Its
primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL
30. Object code - or an object file, is the representation of code that a compiler or
assembler generates by processing a source code file. Object files contain compact
code, often called "binaries". A linker is typically used to generate an executable or
library by linking object files together. The only essential element in an object file is
machine code (code directly executed by a computer's CPU). Object files for embedded
systems might contain nothing but machine code. However, object files often also
contain data for use by the code at runtime, relocation information, program symbols
(names of variables and functions) for linking and/or debugging purposes, and other
debugging information.

 31. Oracle Forms - is a software product for creating screens that interact with an Oracle
database. It has a typical IDE including an object navigator, property sheet and code
editor that uses PL/SQL. It was originally developed to run server-side in character mode
terminal sessions. It was ported to other platforms, including Windows, to function in a
client–server environment. Later versions were ported to Java where it runs in a Java EE
container and can integrate with Java and web services. The primary focus of Forms is
to create data entry systems that access an Oracle database.
32. Oracle Reports - is a tool for developing reports against data stored in an Oracle
database. Oracle Reports consists of Oracle Reports Developer (a component of the
Oracle Developer Suite) and Oracle Application Server Reports Services (a component
of the Oracle Application Server).
33. Outsourcing – turning over all or part of an organization’s information systems operation
to outside contractors, known as systems integrators or facilities management
companies.
34. Programming language - is an artificial language designed to express computations
that can be performed by a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages
can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine, to express
algorithms precisely, or as a mode of human communication.
35. Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) – a statistical tool used in project
management, that is designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing
a given project.
36. Quality Assurance – methods for ensuring that information systems are free from errors
and fraud and provide information products of high quality.
37. Relational database management system (RDBMS) - is a database management
system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model as introduced by E. F. Codd. Most
popular commercial and open source databases currently in use are based on the
relational database model. A short definition of an RDBMS may be a DBMS in which
data is stored in the form of tables and the relationship among the data is also stored in
the form of tables.
38. Service-oriented programming (SOP) - is a programming paradigm that uses
"services" as the unit of computer work, to design and implement integrated business
applications and mission critical software programs. Services can represent steps of
business processes and thus one of the main applications of this paradigm is the cost-
effective delivery of standalone or composite business applications that can “integrate
from the inside-out.”
39. Software – computer programs and procedures concerned with the operation of an
information system.
40. Source code - is any collection of statements or declarations written in some human-
readable computer programming language. Source code is the means most often used
by programmers to specify the actions to be performed by a computer.
41. SQL, often referred to as Structured Query Language - is a database computer
language designed for managing data in relational database management systems
(RDBMS), and originally based upon relational algebra. Its scope includes data insert,
query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
42. Standards – measures of performance developed to evaluate the progress of a system
toward its objectives
43. System – an assembly of methods, procedures, or techniques unified by regulated
interaction to form an organized whole
44. User- friendly – a characteristic of human-operated equipment and systems that makes
them safe, comfortable, and easy to use.
45. User interface - is the system by which people (users) interact with a machine. The user
interface includes hardware (physical) and software (logical) components. User
interfaces exist for various systems, and provide a means of: 1) Input, allowing the users
_________________________________________________________________________________ 56

 to manipulate a system, and/or 2) Output, allowing the system to indicate the effects of
the users' manipulation.
46. VB.NET – is a redesigned, object-oriented dialect of Visual Basic.
47. Web application - is an application that is accessed over a network such as the Internet
or an intranet. The term may also mean a computer software application that is hosted in
a browser-controlled environment (e.g. a Java applet) or coded in a browser-supported
language (such as JavaScript, combined with a browser-rendered markup language like
HTML) and reliant on a common web browser to render the application executable.
48. Windows Forms - is the name given to the graphical application programming interface
(API) included as a part of Microsoft's .NET Framework, providing access to the native
Microsoft Windows interface elements by wrapping the existing Windows API in
managed code. While it is seen as a replacement for the earlier and more complex C++
based Microsoft Foundation Class Library, it does not offer a paradigm comparable to
model–view–controller.
49. Windows Forms application - is an event-driven application supported by Microsoft's
.NET Framework. Unlike a batch program, it spends most of its time simply waiting for
the user to do something, such as fill in a text box or click a button.
50. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) - is a deliverable oriented decomposition of a
project into smaller components.
