It includes core competencies such as Programming using JAVA.  Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, and is widely used from application software to web applications  Java Applications are typically compiled to byte code (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. A. What is TESDA? The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) was established through the enactment of Republic Act No. 7796 otherwise known as the "Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994", which was signed into law by President Fidel V. Ramos on August 25, 1994. This Act aims to encourage the full participation of and mobilizes the industry, labor, local government units and technical vocational institutions in the skills development of the country's human resources.

The Bureau of Technical and Vocational Education (BTVE) of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), S), and The Apprenticeship Program of the Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) of the DOLE gave birth to TESDA. Figure 1.2 TESDA Official Logo TESDA is mandated to: 1. Integrate, coordinate and monitor skills development programs; 2. Restructure efforts to promote and develop middle-level middle manpower; 3. Approve skills standards and tests; 4. Develop an accreditation system for institutions involved in middle-level middle level manpower 5. development; 6. Fund programs and projects for technical education and skills development; and 7. Assist sist trainers training programs. At the same time, TESDA is expected to: 1. Devolve training functions to local governments; 2. Reform the apprenticeship program; 3. Involve industry/employers in skills training; 4. Formulate a skills development plan; 5. Develop and administer minister training incentives; 6. Organize skills competitions; and 7. Manage skills development funds. Overall, TESDA formulates manpower and skills plans, sets appropriate skills standards and tests, coordinates and monitors manpower policies and programs, and provides policy directions and guidelines for resource allocation for the TVET institutions in both the private and public sectors. AICS – SHS Department/TVL-ICT Academic Department Page 2 of 12 /etj  MODULE 1: APPLY BASIC OF JAVA LANGUAGE Week 1 Today, TESDA has evolved into an organization that is responsive, effective and efficient in delivering myriad services to its clients. To accomplish its multi-pronged mission, the TESDA Board has been formulating strategies and programs geared towards yielding the highest impact on manpower development in various areas, industry sectors and institutions. Figure 1.3 TESDA Actual Office Address/Geolocation B. What is Training Regulation (TR)? It is a TESDA-promulgated document that serves as basis for which the competency- based curriculum and instructional materials and competency assessment tools are developed. This document represents a specific qualification. It defines the competency standards for a national qualification and how such qualification can be gained, assessed and be given recognition. C. What is Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)? 1. A competency-based curriculum is a framework or guide for the subsequent detailed development of competencies, associated methodologies, training and assessment resources. 2. The CBC specifies the outcomes which are consistent with the requirements of the workplace as agreed through the industry or community consultations. 3. CBC can be developed immediately when competency standards exist. 4. When competency standards do not exist, curriculum developers need to clearly define the learning outcomes to be attained. The standard of performance required must be appropriate to industry and occupational needs through the industry/enterprise or specified client group consultations.

F. Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) Entrepreneurial competency or competencies is a concept of a collective set of abilities (could be non– academic—a person’s inherent positive character, trait, or attitude) and/or skills, sufficient enough or more than sufficient to organize, manage, and assume the risk of a business or enterprise profitably. Competencies of a Programmer: Behavioral Competencies–Is a set of competencies that refers to the general competencies or characteristics that an individual should have in order to establish a well– balanced professional attitude. Such competencies require the programmer to be:  Analytical Thinker – This could be one of the most important competencies on being a programmer. It can also be considered as a technical competency.  Continuous learner – He should be able to learn and adapt to different domains in order to create and deliver his services. He must be quick to learn different domain processes in order to make his skills relevant, or identify and focus on a specific domain to be a specialist in that specific domain.  Results–Oriented – This refers to being able to meet commitments and delivering services on time. A good programmer is always focused on producing results. Not just any result, but a working and good quality result.  Team Player – A collaborative programmer should not only cooperate (passive) but also contribute (proactive) to the team (e.g., share information and resources that could help in the development of the project).  Technical Competencies–– Is a set of competencies that refer to the standard skills a programmer should possess in order to perform and deliver his services effectively and efficiently. Thus he must possess the following fundamental skills in: AICS – SHS Department/TVL-ICT Academic Department Page 9 of 12 /etj  MODULE 1: APPLY BASIC OF JAVA LANGUAGE Week 1 Programming – Refers to the knowledge and application of fundamental components of programming, i.e., program logic formulation, algorithms, data structures, and system architecture.  Software Development – Refers to the knowledge and application of the techniques and management of the whole development cycle starting from the identification and statements of the problem to analysis and validation, to programming and testing, up to documentation.  Business Analysis – Refers to the knowledge and skill in identifying business needs and providing solutions to address such needs.  Database Design and Management – Almost everywhere you can find opportunities to develop database systems from the simplest contact information management system to the most sophisticated customer relationship management (CRM) system.  Data/Information Security – He must be adept in the different techniques like encryption and other technology available to ensure that any data his system is handling and managing is kept private for all stakeholders of the system.  Identifying Platform and Emerging Technology – Platform refers to the different medium, whether hardware or software, on which the system will run. As a programmer, knowledge and application of how to make your programs run in cross platform is a great advantage. G. Environment and Market (EM) As a programmer, acquiring core competencies will allow you to have some flexibility in choosing the type of programming you are most comfortable with Key specialist types of a programmer: 1. System Programmer – Writes programs that are used to control computer systems and its peripherals. They usually use low–level instructions in programming that directly communicates and controls the computer itself and its peripherals. 2. Application Programmer – Creates programs targeted for end–users. Programs created by application programmers are rather more specific in nature and would mostly be in aid of data manipulation and business processes. 3. Game Programmer – Creates programs focused on entertainment, specifically computer games. 4. Web Programmer – Creates and develops websites and other programs that are needed by some of its components to function.
