1. Explain the purpose of the following types of assessment in learning and development • Initial Assessment • Formative Assessment • Summative Assessment Formative Assessment Initial assessment provides the information needed to plan an individual’s learning and improve their chances of learning effectively. Without it, there are only assumptions. It’s always possible to make some predictions about learners from an application form or selection test, but it’s an insecure basis for planning. Learners themselves bring assumptions about learning based on the past, and some of these may get in the way of looking ahead to a new way of learning.
• The feedback from others has development own knowledge, skills and understanding, feedback can be positive and negative but all feedback points to new to the ways and areas of improvement. Negative feedback must not be rejected but must be taken into account and be turned into something positive, but sometimes may undermine some confidence. The feedback from others points out best ways of doing things, what should not be done and get some pointers of approaching a problem from different angle. 3. know how a personal development plan can contribute to own learning and development 3.1 define the term personal development plan A personal development plan are goals that an individual makes to achieves in doing something specific. The personal development plan includes goals, awareness of strengths and weakness.
Their views might not be needed to be considered but the decisions made by these professionals are for their best interest. 1.5 - Explain how person-centred thinking tools can form the basis of a person-centred plan. These
Assignment 207 Tasks Task C – Case studies Case Study 1 Ci) The best way to help Marcus to make an informed choice is to help him find as much information as possible about his options, such as what they are and what the consequences of each option might be in the best and worst scenarios. Cii) It is important not to let Marcus be influenced by my point of view because if ever something wrong happens he can blame me for it, giving my point of view if it is requested may be acceptable but not to the extent that I will encourage him to make a decision based on my views. The whole idea is to promote Marcus independence and right of choice so it is wrong to influence him in a way that He will choose to do what I think rather than He wants. Case Study 2 Ciii) A thorough risk assessment will help identify any hazards in his own home and the risks involved in any tasks that he or the carers may undertake when in his own home. This way he can consider all the information to make an informed choice regarding his life.
Compromising looks for solutions that partially satisfies both parties involved in the conflict. Compromise may be appropriate to use in situations where goal are moderately important to the job role and to enable a staff team to reach a temporary settlement on complex issues. Compromise can be used as a first step when the parties involved in the conflict do not actually know each other well or they don’t have a high level of mutual trust. Compromising is also to be used when the techniques of collaboration or forcing do not work. Advantages of using compromise include faster issue resolution, so therefore may be more practical when time is a factor.
They include: forcing uncommon responses, using free association, using analogy, looking for unusual combinations, visualizing solutions, constructing pros and cons of an argument and constructing relevant scenarios. In the debate on minimum wage it would be necessary to use one or more of these skills. Using a pro and con argument as well as constructing scenarios would be effective ways to inspire us to visualize solutions to promote change and provide unity on this issue. Pros and cons of a situation need to be approached without bias which is very difficult. Until you can be neutral about an issue you will not get effective pros and cons.
We would be in a better standing position if we can take advantage of the knowledge how our psychological immune system works, identify what kind of happiness we want to experience, and recognize that we cannot be always happy. By knowing when and how we trigger the psychological immune system, we will be able to make the
Note that they are guide questions. Different questions to suit particular situations should be developed to help critical analysis of practice. Good facilitation of team audits is essential to getting people motivated to contribute to practice improvement, rather than repeatedly redefining the difficulties. Use the following to review learning and development, and relate to changes in working practices. Individual level What works well and not so well in your practice?
When trying to establish what decisions will suit the needs and benefit the individual it is critical that they are aware of all the options available to them. The information provided should be easy to understand and presented clearly to avoid any confusion when considering all their possible options, if something is presented using large complex terminology then they may miss this option due to the fear of its complexity however once broken down it is easily understandable and could be the most suited option for the individual. The information provided will need discussing in order to make the best decision for the individual, this will help to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of this option. The individual and the other parties involved in this decision making process may give there honest and personal opinions about the options, however it is important to remember that as a social care worker you have to stay neutral so that the decision if not influenced by your personal
The Importance of Deductive Reasoning Why is it important to understand what is known prior to making a decision? It is important to understand what’s going on prior to a decision so that you have all the information to better have been able to use your deductive reasoning skills. The information that you learn will help you come up with a plan when you start trying to decide which method to use and how to come up with the result. When you don’t have all the information that you need you will not follow a specific process when trying to make decisions or arguments and this can lead to a non-positive result that you’re not looking for. What is the role of deductive reasoning in the decision making process?
