Info

Tutors delivering for CES are provided with a pack where the CWBL information is included. Both tutor and learners agree on course content and delivery which meet the learners’ needs, tutors’ plans and the needs of the community at the beginning of the course and when learning outcomes are set. On completion of the course, the learners compare where their skill levels were on starting the course and where they believe their skill levels have progressed to. A sample of one learner’s perspective having attended a cookery course: Compare where you are now with where you were at the start of your course for each outcome. Outcome 1: I wanted to make new dishes that were easy. Where was I before I started this course? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Where am I now? Outcome 2: I wanted to improve my knife skills. Where was I before I started this course? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Where am I now? Outcome 3: I wanted to make nice deserts. Where was I before I started this course? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Where am I now? Outcome 4: I wanted to work well as part of a team. Where was I before I started this course? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Where am I now? Outcome 5: I wanted to meet new people and make new friends. Where was I before I started this course? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Where am I now? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Section 1 | National and European Events issue 3 – 2016 ETBI 19
The evaluation also provides the learner with the opportunity to express how the course has impacted on not only their educational life but also on their personal/ community/family life and further education and employment. Community Education in Co Clare offered a wide variety of courses in 2015 including Basic Computer Skills, Leadership for Women, Cookery, Horticulture, Sewing, and more. The Wider Benefits of Learning Assessment Tool/Methodology was successful in returning evidence of how the learners’ recognition of their own improvement through the learning outcomes exercise led to a sense of self-achievement, increased self-esteem and confidence. Evidence was also returned on how taking part in the course had a positive impact for the participants both psychologically and emotionally and often led to a renewed connection with family and community. “I volunteered in My Personal Learning I talked to new people. I feel more confident. I tried out new activities. I am more understanding of myself. My Health or Well-being I started walking every day. I take more time out for me when I get stressed. I am happier in myself. I know where to go for help. I eat a lot better now. My Family or Community I get on better with my family. I am more patient. I cook for my family. I have more contact with friends and family. My Future Education or Employment I feel less afriad of attending a new course now. I decided I want to learn more. I went and got some advice on looking for a job. 20 ETBI issue 3 – 2016 Section 1 | National and European Events
