A.6.0:5.3 - Learning: criterion declaration and evidence use

During AssessmentInterval_2026Q2, learner Learner_17 correctly diagnoses cavitation in PumpCase_A and PumpCase_B and selects the stated corrective action. A separate observation episteme, PerformanceObservation_17A, states what was observed. After applying the reusable declaration Criterion_PumpCavitationDiagnosis_v3, assessor Assessor_4 makes the separate competence-assertion episteme CompetenceAssertion_17_Q2: Learner_17 met Criterion_PumpCavitationDiagnosis_v3 for diagnosing cavitation and selecting the stated corrective action in PumpCase_A and PumpCase_B during AssessmentInterval_2026Q2.

Criterion_PumpCavitationDiagnosis_v3 is the reusable declaration governed here. Its EntityOfConcernRef identifies the pump-cavitation diagnosis criterion; SubjectKind names assessed pump-cavitation diagnostic performances and RangedValueKind names the results meets and does not meet. Vocabulary defines the cases, diagnosis, and corrective action; Laws say which observable response earns either result; Applicability limits the equipment family, task form, and assessment method. No current direct pattern supplies DemonstratedCompetenceRelationKind, so this case asserts neither that relation signature nor a world-side demonstrated-competence occurrence.

For this bounded assessment use, the direct A.2.4/A.10 evidence-use relation names PerformanceObservation_17A as EvidenceEpisteme, the quoted competence claim as EvidenceTargetClaim, the two specified cases as EvidenceClaimScope, supports as EvidencePolarity, and AssessmentInterval_2026Q2 as EvidenceRelevanceWindow. Its A.10 evidence-provenance path identifies the observation work, method, carrier, and assessor’s relying context. That relation supports reliance on this exact competence claim; it does not authorize course progression. A self-report without that observation path, a performance on another task, or a performance outside the named interval does not support this bounded claim.

Changing the publication form or making another publication occurrence for the unchanged criterion or competence assertion changes neither episteme. Changing the criterion’s Vocabulary, Laws, or Applicability changes its claim content and identifies another declaration episteme; any edition or continuity relation must separately obtain. A new performance observation or assessor claim likewise identifies separate evidence or claim content rather than changing the criterion declaration.

Practical payoff: two assessors or curriculum tools can reuse the same declared criterion and its performance-and-result meanings while making separately identified competence claims about separately observed performances.
