TASK A
INTRODUCTION
Education have their own importance in every field of work and it also plays an
important role. The report main aim is to develop a knowledge related to education area and its
importance in Australia. Education provide a deep knowledge of the world which is around us
and further it help to build or provide the opinion that will further help others. Changes in
education system and adopting new and specific change will help a student as well as teacher to
provide new opportunity for their future development (Cazap and et.al., 2018). A better
education of a student supports a society to take better decision for the welfare of public. And
also create better human being which is not possible for an uneducated people to take better
decision as per the needs or requirements. Moreover it also help a student in their personal
growth and development that help to understand their responsibility and make them social

technologies which must be adopted by an institution so that it will help to develop students in
the term of professional as well as personal changes. This report also focus on the interview
which help to find out the result of education in Australia.
Report provide a brief description of importance of education for the students as well as
teachers and also describe the methods which such as sampling, data analysis, data collection and
research approach. Study also present the literature review of the importance of education for
change in work in work place. Further it describe the impact of education in change on
workplace and them also identifies the challenges adopted by the institution while implementing
some specific changes. Report also provide some questionnaire through a method of interview of

METHODS
Research Approach: It is a plan or a procedure that consist of various steps such that it
is of three types:
 Deductive: it is a method which is used to when the conclusion should be accurate and it
is a first method which can be used in a dissertation (Quinlan Cutler, Doherty and
Carmichael, 2018).
 Inductive: This method is used when researcher used the data in order to generate some
untested conclusion (Vezzoli and et.al., 2015). This method is used in the report in order
to identify the importance of education and to adopt some specific changes in workplace
(LaVela, Balbale and Hill, 2018).
 Adduction: Under this approach, the researcher used to generate the testable conclusion
and generalising the interaction between the specific and general. Generally this is an
incomplete observation that is why not used by the researcher.
Data Collection: It is a process of collecting information from the all necessary sources
in order to find out the solution of a problem. For this project, researcher is used to primary data
in order to conducting interview of 5 teachers and on the other side secondary data is also used
by using Literature review form. It is of two types:
 Primary data : It is a method which is used to conduct survey and interview in an open
ended method (Ary and et.al., 2018). This method is cheaper and easy to use and for this
report interview method is used.
 Secondary data: It is a method which are already published in books and newspaper and
the researcher are used this data in order to get the exact result of the project.
Data Analysis: It is a method which help to determine the exact result. Such that it is a
process of inspecting and transforming the data with an aim of discovering useful information
and support the decision making. For this report, qualitative data analysis is used and it is of two
types:
 Qualitative data analysis: it is refers to non- numeric information which is used in
interview and notes or video (Hammersley, 2018). This method is help to analysis the
exact view point of the person by conducting interview.
2

 Quantitative data analysis: it is a method which is basically includes the calculation of
frequencies of variable and differences between them. This approach is usually associated
in order to find out the exact result of the evidences and it rejects the hypotheses.
Sampling: It is a simplest method that help to which is used to select the members of a
population which are included in the study (Nardi, 2018). For this report, researcher is taking
random sampling and conducting an interview of 5 teachers in order to analyses the importance
of education in change working place (Vezzoli and et.al., 2015). Simple random method is a
method of choosing some people out of many and then conclude the result and further this
process is also used in this report in an open ended form where interview is taken by randomly
selected 5 teachers and as their answers, researcher concluded the answer.
ANALYSIS
Theme: To identify the important of educational change in workplace
According to Allan and et.al. (2017) the role of education for preparing the lobar force of
the middle of the 21st century. Education is mostly important and crucial for the students to adopt
best changes for the envelopment. Changes made huge impact on the outcomes and results which
gives positive effects at the workplace. According to Barton, (2017), there are different models
of educational change which helps to introduce new challenges and developing goals. Apart from
that, history of US schooling does not offer optimism that purposive changes in policy are either
the driving force of change or can be used in that direction. As per the Hayes (2018) forecasting
change in work requirements is very much essential for expecting in jobs and occupations. It also
helps to make the best approachable targeting method to get the best possible outcome results.
Changes is very much required for the up gradation of resources and skills of students, teachers
etc. overall, it helps to sustain the long term development goals to take the better productivity
charges and plans. In today's competition, there are tough competition in the market for that, it is
required for the organisation to take the better forming results and growth. Education institute
must be required to change education departments and better development education programs
for the student benefits (Vezzoli and et.al., 2015). Apart from that, it also helps to make the
better forming or output results at the workplace environment. Educators, learning courses and
best implementing goals must be required to make the best approachable results and better
forming result goals. Education is most important for social outcomes and development of better
3

economic development. These yielded rates of return on educational investment comparable to
or even greater than profitability of investment in upper levels of secondary education goals.
According to Jimmieson and et.al., (2016), continuous change in educational departments based
on work learning which helps upgrade the quality of education courses and for students as well.
Overall, it helped to make the positive and productive environment at the work place to get the
more opportunity growth. Overall, it helped to take the long term organisation opportunity and
better functional level to make the final outcome goals. Change in education also most valuable
for fornicating the better technological growth and productive professionals.
Theme: To ascertain the impact of education change at workplace.
According to Johnson and et.al. (2016) change management is the core activity in
realising workplace goals whilst implementation is the practical or physical process of
delivering an innovation. The first impact that change gives is innovation and creativity in the
implementation process. This innovation change helps students to get new productive or efficient
knowledge to enhance the personal as well as professional development. It gives the better
transforming or better results and goals. It helps to take the better transformation goals and better
goals productive. It gives positive impact on the education departments such as according to Ma
and Schapira, (2017) it helps to grow mentally. New changes helps to get the new development
growth and effective learning performances. It helps to open up mind and helps to think more
clear and innovative. Besides, as per the critically evaluated due to ineffective mental status,
individual cannot grab the changes and new effective process. Besides, due to lack of training
and development sometimes educators itself never conduct a session with students properly. That
is the reason for adopting education changes at workplace to enhance the capabilities of
education departments. Moreover, it helps to get the better results and goals to make the better
approachable results and growth.
Another impact of education change at workplace that it also helped to enhance the brand
change for success. It will be more challenging and developing in a better way. It will hep to
develop highly skilled education and have the right qualification under the belt you have the
confidence to treat individual as a brand according to Marsick and Watkins (2015).
Being as an educator individual always needs to invest on a better understanding for why
more students are not interested in subjects or study. Sometimes, due to ineffective study pattern,
4

children cannot involve into the study. It is the responsibility of the educator to adopt new
change in learning projection in order to take the new development and encourager the student
interest as well. There are two most effective and learning process goals to make the better legal
forming results suggested by Nilsen, (2015). In order to meet the best resourceful and best
leading goals which is better advancing goals. Change also been given positive impact on the
better management. Overall, impact has been given wide range of development process which
gives better result goals and best output results.
Theme: To identify the challenges while implementing the change.
According to Vähäsantanen (2015) there are various challenges and barriers faced by
educators while implementing the change environment. It has been recognized that all change is
improvement but all involvement and leading process goals level. Besides, there are many
barriers which affect education change at workplace such as fear of the unknown, lack of proper
tools and techniques, lack of professional skills, fear of failure, reluctance to let go, threats to
power base etc. overall, it affects the long lasting knowledge and best productive goals and best
productive action plan. Besides, other barriers are like proper planning, without making step by
step plan it will never given proper changes as per the goals and objectives. Apart from that, it
also helps to sustain the better goal objective and better goals services. While implementing new
change policy educator always needs to make proper plan to implement and then needs to ensure
their productivity outcomes and results. As per the Vezzoli and et.al., (2015) due to lack of
communication with all other team members will invite rumours and fear. It gives negative
impact on the overall process of implementing new change. In order to get over from the change,
institution can also take help of different models of change that helps to implement new
education changes Vezzoli and et.al., (2015).
