INFORMATION SERIES NUMBER 2
THE SELF ASSESSMENT GUIDE
This self-assessment guide is designed
to facilitate the acquisition of competencies of a trainee in ORGANIC
AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION NC II, 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 outcomes. 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 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.
