SELF
ASSESSMENT GUIDE FOR ADULT LEARNERS OF ACES NATURAL FARMING TECHNOLOGY AND ORGANIC AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION NC II
This self-assessment guide is
designed to facilitate the acquisition of competencies of a trainee in ACES
NATURAL FARMING TECHNOLOGY COURSE, a TESDA registered program. As presented
during the orientation of trainees, ACES adopts the ADULT LEARNING Modality in
the conduct of the training. This means that an ACES trainee is a learner of
knowledge and skills as an adult rather than the Pedagogical model where
learners treat themselves as children and must be fed with information by trainors.
Adults learn more as they are guided and more focused on specific objectives
and ourcomes. Personal research and quest to acquire more knowledge and skills
are important indications of matured learners.
The competencies listed in this
guide is based on the TESDA Training Regulation as the ACES NATURAL FARMING
TECHNOLOGY LEVEL I is the forerunner of
the Organic Agriculture Production NC II. It shall then be the basis for the
search of more information for a trainee to not only graduate but internalize
the concepts and competencies in the course.
As guide to a learner, a series of
questions are listed for personal assessment on whether you can do or perform the competencies as
listed. Be as objective as possible in your responses to facilitate the
learning process and identify areas of further learning. This is a preparatory
stage or basic review of the contents of the Organic Agriculture NC II. In
items that are not clear to you , please feel free to contact us. (Dr Francisco P de la Pena, Jr, GM Vianney Garol, Dr. Silvano B Maranga)
Per our discussion, we will find
time to follow up on your projects to ensure that whatever is learned at ACES
will be applied and help in the personal growth and development, economic
upliftment of a graduate and the community in general.
