ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LEARNER
This booklet contains assessment questions and activities which allow you to provide evidence toward gaining this qualification. Before you complete this assessment you should review the information in your e-book learner guide.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
• Read more than just the learner guide – you can use books, journal articles, websites (not Wikipedia)
• Write in your own words – think about what you have read and then use your words to explain what you have learned.
• Never copy and paste – this is not your own work and is a serious form of cheating called plagiarism.
• If you are unsure what the question means, ask your trainer.
ASSESSMENT
You must complete all activities in the assessment to the required standard. This will contribute to a final assessment of competence, which includes this theory assessment and further performance evidence, for example a work placement or simulated tasks in the classroom. The assessor will explain clearly the required performance standards.
When you have finished ALL the assessment tasks, complete the form on the front of the booklet and then submit it by email to admin@enablecollege.edu.au.
Your trainer will give you feedback and you may be given an Academic Pass, or Not Yet Satisfactory. If you are Not Yet Satisfactory you will have an opportunity to resubmit the assessment to be reassessed.

• handing in assessments which are markedly similar to or copied from another student; and/or
• submitting assessments without adequate acknowledgement of the sources used i.e. without referencing.

33. Match each type of play to the correct play description
Type of play Play description
Solitary play Children begin to truly play with others. They share play materials but may be following their own storyline.
Parallel play A part of cooperative play that involves winners and losers. These games involve child-controlled rules and are not the same as competitive games, like sports. These games show an understanding of the social rules in our culture
Associative play Children play alone, with their own toys. They do not get close to or interact with other children. Solitary play should be encouraged because it builds skills for working independently
Cooperative play Children continue to play on their own, but they are beside children and may be using the same toys.
Games with rules When a child watches other children playing but makes no attempt to join in.
Onlooker Play The highest level of social play where children play in groups and everyone is cooperating to achieve a common goal. This type of play involves negotiation among children. This happens when children change
“roles” in the play and/or take turns making suggestions about the plot
Assessors comment:
34. You are an Educator in the preschool room and your room’s current focus on following room routines and safety.
You invite the children to join a whole group time experience before lunch. You have decided to use this time as an opportunity to discuss the room routines and the different guidelines we
should follow to ensure we remain safe when play in both the indoor and outdoor areas.
At rest time, you reflect on the group time experiences with your team leader when you suggest that you would like to develop cue cards to use with the children as a visual reminder of routines time and safety guidelines.
You team leader agrees and has suggests that you develop a set of eight (8) cue cards to be used by Educators throughout the day.
In the boxes below you are required to design a set of different cue cards relating to room routines and/or safety guidelines The first one has been provided to guide you.
You can choose to use the boxes below to insert or hand draw your pictures. Alternatively you can provide a separate word document and attach to your assessment.
Keep the sand low so it doesn’t get in our eyes
