...Essay - HNC Business Management Level 4 Personal and Professional Development 1.1 Cunningham1 has defined self-managed learning as “…idealised adult action learning”. Therefore, self learning is a process where the learner develops their learning goals, decides on strategies to make it happen, identifies resources needed to achieve it and adopts the process to evaluate their achievement. Self managed learning can only be effective if a person has the ability to independently decide about their learning and can manage this without much institutional support. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that most people, though understanding the need for such learning approach, are unable to identify and manage their learning without guidance and support from an institution. Hence, people go to an institution to learn. However, It is the responsibility of the learner to take charge of their learning. In an adult learning environment, where most learners have been out of touch with learning for a while, it is important that the tutors initially provide hands on approach to guide the learners. Gradually, ‘tutor dependency’ reduces and the learner becomes more self dependent, starting to manage their learning more effectively. Self learning process can be facilitated through research, using online tools such as web logs, wikis, search engine facilities, use of social software and other multimedia tools such as audio and video equipment...

There are two main differences: aim and presentation. Aim Essays give you more opportunity to expand on possibilities, ideas or concepts. Reports deal with describing and/or analysing actual past events. Reports can be written that make predictions or recommendations for the future, but these are usually the result of an analysis of past events or of current or past social, cultural or economic phenomena. The English statesman, Sir Thomas More, wrote an essay titled Utopia, which visualised an ideal state or ‘perfect world’. He couldn’t have written a report on the same topic! Presentation Reports are also usually broken up into sections, each section with a relevant sub-heading. Bullet points, illustrations, diagrams, charts, tables can also be...

...schools they would like to send their children. This would be through analysing league tables and discussing OFSTED reports from different schools. New right assert that important institutions in society are becoming dysfunctional because of left wing social policy and are need of protection and reform. For example, the welfare state stops the stratification system from fulfilling the function of incentivising people to work, as diversity and divorce are destroying the nuclear family. New right also believe that education can only perform its role effectively if it’s organised on market principles rather than the state. As marketization will increase competition, ensure choice and raise standards. New right support maintains the traditional standards of learning and teaching reading writing and arithmetic. In this essay the following topics will be discussed, 1988 Education Act, Traditional Education and Stronger links between the workplace and education. Before the 1988 Education Act, if students didn’t do well then it wouldn’t of mattered as there was many different stereotypes based upon a students’ class, gender and ethnicity. However this changed once the 1988 Education act was introduced as schools began to compete with each other and they were being compared to different schools through Ofsted reports, league tables and statistics of results. Parents had a choice where they wanted to put their child in the school closest to their house in the catchment area or at a school...

You may choose to look at another topic not covered in this booklet but check with your tutor if you are unsure if it is suitable. Read selectively: the journal article in section 4 contains a lot of useful information about the UK as well as other countries. However, it is quite long and contains quite a lot of historical background information in the first few pages which will not necessarily be useful for your assignment. Use the sub-headings to focus on the sections that will be most useful to you. Use only relevant details: Be selective when choosing the information you want to include and make sure it remains relevant to the topic of the paragraph. E.g. If the paragraph is on the structure of the education system, do not start discussing any...

...Oct 10 ACCREDITATION SCHEMES WITHIN OUR ORGANISATION – SSGT MARCUS MILES “An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t” – Anatole France, French Novelist (1844-1924) INTRODUCTION 1. Accreditation is available to our Military Administrators throughout their careers via a number of sources; this accreditation incorporates civilian qualifications into military training and is vital to the personal and professional development of our branch and soldiers. It is of extreme benefit to the corps as well as the individual. The aim of my report is to guide and advise administrators on the opportunities available to them via accreditation schemes to enable them to be recognised and rewarded inline with their civilian counterparts, I also intend to remind senior management of the opportunities available, so they are better informed to achieve the requirements of the corps recruitment and retention plan. I will be writing my report in a rank chronological order starting from Pte through to the Officer ranks. THE ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT 2.

...education and job training. The areas that the government focuses on while formulating and implementing education policy include school choice, class size, school size, teacher education, school privatization, teacher pay and certification, curricular content, teaching methods, school infrastructure and education requirements (Dewey, 2012). It also encompasses the values and missions that schools aim to uphold and achieve respectively. A country’s academic success is greatly determined by the kind of education policies that have been formulated and implemented by its government (Ravitch, 2012). Hence this is a very vital factor for citizens to consider when they are obligated to vote in a new government. They tend to look at the most beneficial and favorable education policies that are going to be for the good of the country. Politicians also prioritize this factor when they are campaigning for office. This essay aims at comparing two countries’ education policies that is the United States of America and the United Kingdom. The essay will first analyze each country’s education policies separately by explaining their history, development and current implementation. Then it will do an analysis of the differences then the similarities that exists between these two countries’ education policies. Education policy in the...

...May 1st, 2015 Michelle Kyriakides Career Services Director, Experimental Learning Saint John’s University 8000 Utopia Parkway Queens NY 11439 Dear Ms. Kyriakides, It is in the nature of Saint John’s University to always enhance, educate and strive for excellence in all aspects. Career Services is a vital department of the university that is not being used to its fullest potential. While a number of students are continuing to graduate with a diploma of academic success, many still are not prepared for the real world. Majority of students spending an entire semester absorbing lectures and solely taking notes, to simply be tested. This does not qualify as a complete educational experience. While learning through lectures and studying is important, it should not encompass a hundred percent of a college semester. This repetitive form of learning is not thoroughly benefiting students. There is a significant piece of the puzzle that is absent from the university: Experience. I am calling this issue to your attention because a project of this scale would need funding from the department. Using the program “Applied Education”, designed to combine coursework and fieldwork into a holistic educational experience could be a benefit to you. I understand that you assure SJU students are receiving the best advice to compete in today's global marketplace. It was through your innovative new model, that the university has significantly increased student engagement with Career...

ISBN 0-90892751-7 ii LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT Assessment for the Qualifications Framework Introduction to 2001 edition Learning and Assessment was first published in 1996. It has been in demand ever since and reprinted many times in its original format. The 2001 edition retains the text of the original. The photographs have been omitted to reduce costs and the original Foreward was no longer relevant. We are delighted and a little surprised that there is sufficient demand for a reprint five years on. When we were researching for Learning and Assessment late in 1995 only 40,000 learners were being assessed for the Framework. There were 4,800 registered unit standards and 109 national qualifications. Only 414 providers were accredited and 16 ITOs were able to register workplace assessors. Sixty schools were trialling mathematics and geography standards. There was little practice of any kind, let alone proven successful practice, on which to base advice to assessors. Our scenarios and case studies in computing, small business management, commercial fishing and economics reflected hope and expectation rather than experience. There are now 626,000 learners registered on the Framework; about 200...
