...Previous learning and experiences; Primary school was a big influence on my learning as at the beginning of Junior school I was really rubbish at Maths, so my head teacher used to hold maths classes after school to help me and others out and then by the time I was in year 6 taking my sats tests I got a high level which made me feel very happy as even to this day I am still good at Maths. Some bad experiences that I’ve had as well, but mainly in high school I was made to do a course called computing but as me and my teacher didn’t get on and he wasn’t supportive I failed the course and he blamed it all on my for not being a good pupil. But then in Product Design I loved it and me and my teacher did get on but I didn’t feel like I was going to pass but with all the extra support I was given with my course work and exam preparation I managed to get a B and was like 3 marks of an A. Attitude and self-discipline: My attitude towards doing coursework can be good but I work better under pressure knowing that I have to get the work done. Also if I’m given a deadline I make sure that the work is done for that deadline. Aspirations and motivations: I am doing health and social care because I either want to be something on the lines of a social worker or a probation officer. I want to be a social worker because I have a sister with special needs and she doesn’t get enough help from them and I want to be a social worker that will always be there for them. Also I want to be a probation...

...Personal professional development P1 – explain the key influences on personal learning processes of individuals In this assignment I am going to be talking about the key influences on personal learning processes of individuals. However a way to influence children’s personal learning is through theories. The theories I am going to be talking about is Kolb’s and honey and Mumford’s theory. The reason being is because it helps teachers and other health and social care setting workers to understand the needs of individuals, so they can help them. Honey and Mumford’s theory is a theory which was one of the first to be developed. It was developed in 1982. And was known as tor the four learning styles which were known as the following, theorists, pragmatists, reflectors, activists. Theorists A theorists is someone who comes up with intellectual ideas which they be likely to explain in as much detail as they can, to prove to others that their theory is correct. However as the years go by theorist’s spend their time trying to improve their theory to ensure it is advanced to the time. Pragmatists A pragmatist is someone who is ready for anyone to challenge them, this shows they are confident as they are able to answer questions which they are not prepared for. it basically builds the positiveness of them in other people as they are able to answer questions when they are put on the spot. Reflector a reflector is someone who gathers information from observations...

...Unit 6 Personal and professional development in health and social care. P1: Explains the key influences on the personal learning processes of individuals. Kinaesthetic Kinaesthetic learning is a style in which a person learns through doing. It can be things such as sports, experimentation and drama opposed to listening to someone give a lecture or watching someone perform a demonstration. The best way for a kinaesthetic learner to take in information is by activities that involve touching, feeling, holding, doing, and practical experiences. Kinaesthetic learners often fidget, move their legs a lot or tap their feet, which can then lead them to be labelled as hyperactive. Also, they can be good in active jobs such as actors, musician, dancer or athletes and work well with their hands. They may be good at repairing work, sculpting, art, or working with various tools. Auditory Auditory learning is a style in which a person learns by listening. Its mainly listening to someone talk in lectures, speeches, and oral sessions although they must be able to hear exactly what is being said to understand completely. They have difficulty understanding instructions that are written. Because auditory learners have brilliant listening skills, the best career choices for them would be along the lines of a pathologist, disc jockey (DJ), and musician Visual Visual learners work best by seeing things, over hearing someone talk about them or creating something. Someone that is a visual learner...

We argue that this large research literature can be best organized and understood from a multilevel perspective. We identify three levels of analysis of prosocial behavior: (a) the “meso” level—the study of helper-recipient dyads in the context of a specific situation; (b) the micro level—the...

...P1: Behaviourist Approach. An introduction into this perspective is that it studies how conditioning, reinforcement and social learning influence behaviour. It does this through laboratory experiments and observations. In witch they use animals and humans. It is a scientific approach to measure behaviour and investigate how behaviour is learned. They argue that the environment shapes behaviour. Also argued that genetics and cognition are deemed as unimportant in determining behaviours. There are three main theories to this perspective which are: Classical conditioning Operant conditioning Social learning. Classical conditioning: Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) was working with dogs to investigate their digestive systems; he noticed that one dog began to salivate when Pavlov assistant entered the room with food. Pavlov thought the dog had learned to associate the assistant with food. This meaning food automatically lead to response of salivation, this is called an unconditioned response. The food was the unconditioned stimulus. As the production of saliva was automatic and not learnt. With this, an unconditioned stimulus leads to an unconditioned response. Pavlov then introduced a bell at feeding time, the bell was a conditioned response as the dog then produced saliva on the bell ringing as the dog associated the bell with feeding time. This happened over several trails and then the dog learned this. Eventually it began to salivate when only the bell was rung and no food was...

Unit introduction It is important, when working in business, to ensure compliance with organisational procedures and legal requirements, as the consequences of non-compliance can have serious implications for employees and employers. It is important, therefore, for learners to appreciate that those working in business must understand the principal issues which affect the working environment, for all individuals and the organisations that employ them. This involves keeping up to date with information on the legal issues that affect safe working practices. Everyone at work plays an important part in ensuring health and safety and it is essential that key personnel are aware of their roles and responsibilities. Employers must take reasonable care to protect their employees, and others, from the risk of injury, disease or death, while employees must take care to protect themselves and others. Safe working conditions and the ‘welfare of employees’ can contribute to the success of an organisation. It is important that organisations take steps to prevent accidents...

...P1: Explain key influence on the personal learning process of individuals For an individual there are positive and negative influences that can effect there learning. On a professional approach, many psychologists believe that learning takes place via different processes in which recall has to take place in order to remember. Recall can be affected by different influences; these can weaken memory or strength the memory trace of information. There are different theories that can show the different types of learners; David kolb and Honey and Mumford. David kolb’s theory (1984) is an explanation in how adults learn. The many ways in which people learn are called the cognitive ability. During adolescence and adulthood we develop a performance for instinctive preferences. This is the way in which we make sense of our experiences. He proposed that learning takes place in four stages: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation and active experimentation. The first stage is concrete experience, this is the doing stage. The individual has to physically carry out actions in order to remember. The second stage is reflective stage this is where they concentrate and review the information. This involves mental thought about what they have completed and the actions that took place in the concrete stage. The third stage is the concluding stage, in which you begin to make sense of the actions in your head. The last stage is the active experimentation, is the planning...

...K/502/5445 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to introduce learners to methods of managing human resources in the workplace. Learners will use their knowledge of relevant human resources management theory and link it with current human resource management practices in organisations. Unit introduction Human resource management is a dynamic activity in any organisation as it takes place against a changing economic, technical, legal and social background. It is important for learners to appreciate that effective human resource management means getting the best out of the people who work for an organisation in order to ensure the organisation fulfils its purposes, whether it is a football club winning the premiership, or a hospital increasing the success rates for medical operations. Many organisations say that their employees are their most valuable resource because of their skills, knowledge and attitudes. As labour is both an expensive and valuable resource, it is important to ensure it is planned and that the best value is obtained from employees contributions. Human resource managers have to plan their human resource requirements against a background of internal and external factors which are dynamic and constantly changing. The first part of this unit introduces learners to the factors that influence human resource managers when they are planning current and future human resource...
