Level Description of Technical Institute of Management & Information Technology (India) For Qualifications Framework


Purpose :

The purpose of level descriptors for Levels One to Eight (1-8) of Technical Institute of Management & Information Technology Qualifications Framework is to ensure coherence in learning achievement in the allocation of qualifications and part qualifications to particular levels, and to facilitate the assessment of the national and international comparability of qualifications and part qualifications.

In order to advance the objectives of the Qualification Framework, is responsible for the development of the content of the level descriptors for each level of the council.

The philosophical underpinning of the Qualifications Framework and the level descriptors is applied competence, which is in line with the outcomes-based theoretical framework adopted by the Council.

Eight categories are used in the level descriptors to describe applied competencies across each of the 8 levels of the Qualifications Framework :


» Scope of knowledge

» Knowledge literacy

» Method and procedure

» Problem solving

» Ethics and professional practice

» Accessing, processing and managing information

» Management of learning

» Accountability


Definitions :

In these level descriptors any word or expression to which a meaning has been assigned in the Qualifications Framework shall have such meaning unless the context indicates otherwise. A basic set of definitions is given below, while further definitions and help in the interpretation of particular words or phrases used in the level description.

“Applied competence” has three constituent elements: foundational competence embraces the intellectual/academic skills of knowledge together with analysis, synthesis and evaluation, which includes information processing and problem solving; practical competence includes the concept of operational context; and reflexive competence incorporates learner autonomy.

“Field” means a particular area of learning used as an organizing mechanism for the qualification framework.

“Level” means one of the series of levels of learning achievement arranged in ascending order from one to eight according to which the TCQF is organized and to which qualification types are provided.

“Level description” means that statement describing learning achievement at a particular level of the TCQF that provides a broad indication of the types of learning outcomes and assessment criteria that are appropriate to a qualification at that level.

There is one common set of level descriptors to be used in different contexts.

The level descriptors incorporate eight competencies.

The level descriptors are designed to meet the needs of academic as well as skill qualifications.

There must be correlation between qualification levels and vocational levels in the world of work.

Level description are cumulative i.e. there is progression in the competencies from one level to the next.

Level description are applicable to the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Level description embrace learning in a wide variety of contexts vocational, skill, academic and professional and environments, etc.

Level description is to be designed to act as a guide and a starting point. Assisting learners to gain admission through RPL at an appropriate level on the TCQF.

Making comparisons across qualifications in a variety of fields and disciplines pegged at the same level of the TCQF.

Programme quality management, used together with purpose statements, outcomes and assessment criteria.

Level description provide a broad indication of learning achievements or outcomes that are appropriate to a qualification at that level.

Level description do not describe years of study.

In the level description, the accessing, analyzing and managing of information and communication.
