Introduction
This Teacher’s Guide is developed to assist you in delivering the Operate Personal Computer
training program. It is usually designed as a resource to support the learning activity.
The OperatePersonalComputerTraining is developed to equip the trainees with the required
competences in Starting computer, Accessing system information, Navigate and manipulate
desktop environment, Organize basic directories/ folder structure and file, organize files for users
and organization requirements, Print Information, Operate application software.
. The Program is consists of seven (7) learning modules covering one(1) unit of competence.
This teacher’s guide covers all the seven (7) learning modules and it will assist you in delivering
the said program and achieving its learning objectives and outcomes. It also provides information
in the organization of the learning guides and assessment packets. The learning guides are aid to

Training Mechanics(The statements written below explain the delivery system of the program. They are
samples only. You can make your own design delivery but it must be approved by the institution management)
The Outcome-Based Training is one form of an independent learning approach. This approach
enables trainees to be master of their own environment and in charge of their learning. It is also
characterized by the integration of theory and application as two dimensions of an effective
learning process. In this program, the competence-based system is consists of a combination of
lecture-discussion, individualized learning activities, mentoring,field immersionand feedback.
In this program the trainees will be given individual learning guide to go through and accomplish.
They will be instructed through this learning guide to accomplish learning activities as part of the
mechanism for transfer of learning from the training situation to the job situation. For each
competence area, trainees will formulate a specific learning plan as a guide for applying their
learning to work setting and for their own continuing self-development. At this point, your role as
the teacher/facilitator is to guide the trainee in preparing and accomplishing their plan.
Lecture and discussion of the topics outlined in the session plan should be performed first before
the trainees are instructed to go to the workshop. You are also required to demonstrate the
correct steps/procedures and techniques to your trainees before you let them practice. Insure that
they are practicing safely.
Most part of the training activities will be conducted in the workshop for better development of
specific skills. Aside from motivating them to relate concepts and skills to their own work
situations, make sure to provide the necessary opportunity for competence practice and better
internalization of such concepts and techniques. The trainees should also be provided the
opportunity to blend with the actual working unit in the industry.
In this system, it is important to develop a sustained relationship with the trainees through a
continued involvement, where you are to offer support, guidance and assistance as the trainee go
through the learning activities and actual work.

Institute

With the mentoring approach, the trainees are grouped in learning teams with one facilitator-
mentor per team. Before learning session or workshop start in the morning, each team and
mentor meets to give feedback regarding their work, or how the group improves, acquire set of
skills for the members to become more effective trainees. You are also to asses them at the end
of each module. However, they have to be ready before the assessment and it should be them to
request for it.
Before the training start you should conduct an orientation session to brief the trainees on how the
training will proceed.

Assessment Context
There are two types of evaluation 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. In this

Institute
2017
program the LAP Test serves as the formative assessment.
Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the modules of the program
have been accomplished. It determines the extent to which competence have been achieved.
This will be given in the form of written test for the underpinning knowledge and demonstration for
the attitudes and skills portion. And, the result of the assessment decision shall be expressed in
the term ‘competent or not yet competent’.
These two types of evaluation form part of the training and they are considered as institutional
assessment.
