TECHNICAL SKILLS
INVENTORY (TSI)
STEP THREE: COMPILE DATA FOR THE INSTRUCTOR
Rationale
Automotive Service
Technician
NOC 7321
The Essential Skills Programs at Trade Essentials are contextualized to the
trade. This results in participants being easily engaged in their learning
because they relate to the materials that support concepts and applications
in their trade. Data collected through the TSI guides the instructor as to
what contextual and technical resources will best engage his/her
participants.
Timeline
Within 24 to 48 hours of the participants completing the TSI, provide the
instructor with a TSI Group Summary Chart and Group Learning Plan.
Activity
Preparation
Develop a TSI Group Summary Chart
Complete an Excel spreadsheet assigning one column to each
participant;
Assign the number code to each TSI column
o 0 to the first column – Yes, I did this
o 2 to the second column – I need to work on this
o 3 to the third column – Not sure what this means
Collect the data from the TSI and transfer it to the spreadsheet; and
The 2s will automatically highlight in yellow and the 3s in blue so
the instructor can easily identify a participant who has a learning
need that differs significantly from the group;
A group summary chart will appear at the bottom of your
spreadsheet.
