Instructor - Task 3.4 - Evaluation of guiding skill assessments

Content

As an instructor, you cannot avoid regularly assessing the progress of your children. In ABC swimming, these assessment moments coincide with diploma swimming. You prepare children for this by systematically practicing all diploma requirements. Naturally, you only let a child proceed to the exam if you truly expect them to pass the diploma. Therefore, just before the exam, you follow the exam protocol step by step to ensure that the children can perform all actions and sustain them. During the assessment, you can encourage the children, reassuring them that they can do it and now they just need to demonstrate it. You ensure that the children feel at ease, clearly explain what they are about to do, ensure that it proceeds orderly and smoothly, and encourage them. Beforehand, you prepare the materials and other necessities and handle the formalities assigned to you.

When participants have learned something, they are tested at the end to see if they can perform according to a predetermined protocol. A protocol is a list of items that need to be assessed. It is crucial for the participants that the test:
proceeds in an orderly and efficient manner,
all necessary materials are prepared and ready,
starts on time.
You play an important role in ensuring that participants and assessors can carry out their tasks smoothly. You also ensure that the participants are not more nervous than necessary. You reassure them and tell them they can do it. There is a protocol available that systematically assesses everything.
