Section 2: Focus
Aim and Problem Statement
The aim of this learning contract is to identify the learning areas which are based on work
based learning procedures. “It is to focus on the understanding with my tutor for the
betterment of the future in the raising competitive world” (Meyer, 2008). The specific areas
which are covered in the learning contract are the knowledge related to
 Team work management system
 Demonstration of effective planning system
 Analysis of the data collected
 Monitoring of the feedback.
In this paper we are going to enlighten the importance of critical thinking skills in the
personality development of the student with regards to the wok based learning.
Learning outcome:
With the study of project undertaken, I am able to understand:
Lo1: The development of the reflective judgment based on the critical thinking skills in terms
of Log book, diaries, and tutor feedback
Lo2: It helps in analysing the problems and issues associated with work based learning.
Lo3: New Opportunities helps in the exploration of the questions related to the self-judging
methodologies.
Lo4: What are the underlying principles for evaluating the implementation of the project plan
Lo5: Importance of new ideas and thought
Lo6: Coordination with the team members

Section 3 Justification:
Every individual gets a clear idea about the concept with the deployment of theoretical and
practical knowledge. The internal and external factors help in enhancing working knowledge
of the individual. I have experienced that the learning can be improved by utilizing the
theoretical and practical work in the curriculum. “The working on the given project helps me
to explore and gain knowledge associated to the learning outcomes” (Li, 2012). The
coordination between the team members is the core area of every project undertaken for
study. The execution of the project depends on the planning structure which was designed by
the team members. The analysing of the data helps in the effective interpretation of the
working plan. The evaluation of the feedback report gathered from the supervisor helps in
improving the performance. I have experienced that follow up of the ethical and moral values
in the working culture helps in developing the healthy working environment. The purpose of
the project is to develop a team spirit in the coordinating units.
The study of project helps me to cover all the learning outcome of the project. “The success
of the project depends on the effective team management, planning of process and
methodologies, analysis of the skills, and monitoring the feedback collected” (Hoskins,
2008). I have chosen the project for study because it helps in aiding techniques to the
personality development the process of self-assessment and self-evaluation system.
I have collected the opinions and views of the people that the technique of self-judgement
works for them to solve the complex problem. From the research, I am able to diagnose my
strength, weaknesses, and new opportunities which can under taken to enhance the learning
outcome of the project. The big and complex problems can be easily solved with the help of
critical thinking process. “The thought process should be enhanced by collecting the
information from different sources and different situation”(Buhalis, K. 2011). The theories
based on evidences should be taken under consideration.
I have experienced that the learning outcome helps in solving the problem with the use of
interpretation of the data and information collected from the problem area, information is
broken down into various modules for analysis, listing the arguments for the assemblage of
logical steps to summarise the complex situation, and finally judging the most appropriate
decision which has the quality skills to solve the complex situation. I have experienced that
the learning can be improved by utilizing the theoretical and practical work in the curriculum.
“The working on the given project helps me to explore and gain knowledge associated to the

learning outcomes” (Boch, 2005). The strategy should be used for the management of critical
thinking in the reading and writing the situation.
The strategy is based on the questions like what, when, who, whom, how, which, and most
crucial is why. “The text of the critical thinking is based on logical arrangement of the
arguments for solving the problematic situation” (Prince, 2004). The external sources are
used for generating the critical reviews on the writing and reading skills. “The study of the
project helps in the demonstration of the negative and positive reasons associated with the
research helps in providing best alternative for solving the situation” (Dunlosky, 2013).
Section 4: Methods
I have chosen the simulation of the project to clearly achieve my learning outcome. The
learning can be improved by carrying the practical work so that I can predict out my mistakes
and corrected them for future reference. “The case study of undertaken gives the theoretical
review of collecting knowledge” (Cheng, 2011). The indulging of simulation model is the
best way for improving communication practices and learning experience. I have prepared a
log book while working on the simulation model of the project. According to my point of
view, simulation is the best method for study because it helps us to gain real life experience.
The focus of the research study is to enlighten the work based learning attitude of the student
for self-enhancement by making self-reflection. “The problematic situation can be easily
handled through the deliverables of the work based learning experience” (Wirth, 2015). The
action plan should be prepared by visualizing the intellectual problems and the area of
concerns.
The examination and the collection of information related with the work based learning can
be done with the division into four sectors which can be named as planning, deployment,
surveillance, and reflection.
The process of planning focuses on the development of the framework which is based on the
past experience, learning material, measurement of success and failures, use of learning
resources, and other parameters. It helps in analysing the flaws and obscure which occurs in
the past history of the student. The strength and weaknesses can be clearly identified. The
identification of the problem can be easily done with the deployment of improved
communication techniques.

The advantages and disadvantages of chosen alternatives help in identifying the possibility of
the solution to cope up with the situation. The work based learning should be applied on the
different models generated by the different suggestions given on the current problematic
situation to measure the effectiveness of the solution.
The reflection is the method used for self-reflecting through the self-assessment program on
the basis of data collected through the medium of success and failure of the alternatives used
for overcoming the problematic situation. The checklist should be prepared for getting the
correct details of data related with the self-assessment of the situation.
The preparation of the learning logbook helps in collecting evidence for increasing learning
experience. The ideas and feeling expressed in the log book can be used for the future
reference.
Section 5: Time Table:
The planning of the simulation study of project should be designed before hands so that
learning experience can be enhanced. The simulation learning is completed in different
phases which are divided in to the study of 10 weeks.
 In the week 1, the strategy is prepared for completing the study of the project.
 In week 2, we have worked as a team for collecting the different views and ideas of
the team member.
 In week 3, we are gathering information to analyse the decision for creating new
opportunities and aim.
 In week four, we will work in regards to take final decision.
The study through simulation weeks helps in creating the log book, table, grid, stakeholder
analysis. The log table added in the Appendix which specifies the action and the learning
outcome in the simulation weeks undertaken.
Section 6: Evidences of accomplishment
It has been seen that the method of work based learning concept is important for the students
because it helps solving the issues which the student can face in their working curriculum.
The independency of the students should be promoted through the conclusion drawn from the
situation and the power of reasoning to give the judgement of the situation. The behaviour of
the student can be judged by the power of analysing the situation and generating the creative
thinking and procedures about the problem area. It helps in providing immediate feedback on
the basis of ideas and thoughts. The power of memorizing the potential pitfalls helps in
enhancing the creative thinking of the student. The new skills can be added from

summarizing the situation with the help of logical arrangement of the information. “The
synchronization of information collected from the different sources helps in creating logical
sequence of the information to derive the most relevant and possible solution for the
scenario” (Anderson, 2015). At the completion of the project simulation study we are able to
present the following:
 Learning contracts
 Report on the project Hydroelectric Dam Laos system”
 Log Tables of every week
 Maintenance of the incident diaries
 Positive and negative feedback of the tutor
 Grid table
 Project Log

Section B: Report
Introduction:
The research focuses on the role played for self-reflection on the study of simulation model
of Hydroelectric Dam Laos system. Nam Kading Hydroelectric power plant is chosen for
study to improve the learning experience. The issues and complexities of the project should
be reduced by managing strategic decision. The decision is based on the factors which are
categorised as location of the Dam, capacity of the dam for holding water, arine life of the
water such as fish, local population, management of the road transportation network,
availability of the medical facilities, living standard of the population is low, and others, The
work based learning is interdepended terms such as self-reflection, self-awareness, self-
management, self-monitoring, and others. There are various parties which are interested in
the construction of Nam Kading hydro power project which are categorised as union of
construction workers, experts of environmental study, NGOs for maintaining ecological
balance, Archaeological experts, forestry and agricultural office, and local population of
Laos. The shareholders which are associated with the Dam are having 40% of hydro con,
35% of Lao PDR holdings, and 25% PTE (Thai energy). There are three investors which are
interested in the project are Investment fund of Norway, world bank, and other commercial
lenders. The construction of dam was undertaken by the contractors named as Hydro con,
PTE (Thai energy), Devela Sa, and other suppliers. The large amount of water is used by the
hydroelectric power plant.
Reflection
During the course of the project on Hydroelectric site, I gain experience in the field of
simulation, matching complexities with the real world problems, team build up, and others.
“There are two site chosen for study which are developed on Nam Kading and Nam Mouan
rivers” (Hudson, 2012). It has been noticed that the site A development plan result into the
floods occurrence for the local people. The maximization of the power production requires
the construction of two dams at two different site locations. It has been found that the site B
consumed 30% less water than site A. Around 4500 villagers have to be relocated during the
development of the project. “The relocation of the people have affected their daily life style.
The transmission line of the power plants is getting increased from Laos to Thailand” (Hall,
2012).
The study of this project helps me to identify the communication management system
between different participating units of the project. “The life cycle of marine animals get
affected due to the inclusion of hydroelectric power plant” (Lai, 2011). The local population
is largely dependent on the fish for food. The reducing population of the fishes can affect the
growth rate of the local area. “The management of the dam result into the loss of 50% of fish
population” (Johnson, 2014). The road network of the society can be improved by managing
electricity grid by developing the infrastructure connection from the power plant. The new
opportunities can be created for the development of transportation. The medical facilities of
the local population should be enhanced. The transmission lines helps in providing the
electricity to the population located at the Laos and Thailand. It has been noticed that the site
A development plan result into the floods occurrence for the local people. The maximization

of the power production requires the construction of two dams at two different site locations.
It has been found that the site B consumed 30% less water than site A.
The division of the tasks into different modules helps in generating the new ideas by looking
back to the conclusion of the previous module which helps in generating the logical sequence
of the ideas and vision to give the clear concise view of the situation to take decision. “The
validity and verification of the decision should be taken under consideration before the
deployment for the resolving the issues” (Firdaus, 2015). The list of relevant question helps
in getting towards the situation to get best suitable alternative. The investment on the
construction of the dam depends on the following factors:
 Impact on the Landscape: “The impact of landscape helps in defining path of
transmission lines for the development of low profile lines” (Duderstad, 2012).
 Risk of accident: The construction of the project is equipped with the risks of accident
which can cause injury and death to the labour during the operation of the plant.
 Employment: The new opportunities of employment can be created for the local
population of Laos. There can be requirement of skilled and unskilled labour,
technician, crew manager, and others. The contractors and sub-contractors can be
hired from the Thailand.
 Output Energy: The output of the operational plant can be measured in terms of
energy produced. The output energy is used for maintaining the flow of water from
the river stream. It has been analysed that the dam of NamKading river produce more
electricity at site A than site B.
 Profitability: The management of the cash flow helps in analysing the measure of
profitability ratio. The cash flow can be measured in terms of operational costs and
the net present value of the project.
 Corporate taxes: The Laos government applies the corporate taxes on the licensing of
the project.
The decision of the Site Management depends upon the site of the village, population of the
fish, development of the community, rating of the landscape, risks associated with accident,
creation of employment, and measure of profitability ratio. The recognition of the stakeholder
engagements helps in exploring the need and requirement of the Work based learning
fundamentals. The self-management helps in judging the decision taken for resolving the
issues related with the complex situation. The decision is based on the factors which are
categorised as location of the Dam, capacity of the dam for holding water, marine life of the

water such as fish, local population, management of the road transportation network,
availability of the medical facilities, living standard of the population is low, and others. The
national and international standards should be followed for the deployment of transmission
lines between different participating units. The new technologies are laid down for improving
the construction of the dam. The ethical issues should be cleared of the participating skilled
workers placed at the construction site. The active participation of the local community
members of Laos helps in resolving the conflicts and issues of the people. The flow of water
helps in defining the amount of the output produced from the construction of the two dams at
two different sites.
“The comparison made between the two helps in finding out the most suitable alternative for
resolving the issue in the complex scenario” (Johnson, 2014). The judgement and the
decision should be measured in terms of the positive and the negative effect associated with
its consequences when applied to the realistic situation. The generalization should be avoided
and specialization should be applied. It helps in improving the self-image by the process of
self-reflection.
The relocation of the local people involves financial investment for the settlement of the
people effectively. The local infrastructure should be improved so that the living style of the
common people can get improved with the development of local communities, road
construction, laid down of the transportation network, providing educational platform, and
providing medical facilities to the consumers. he alignment of the activities helps in
managing the situation according to the requirement of the transition information. The
innovative ideas, opinions, vision, and thoughts should be aligned to achieve a single
statement for improving the situation. The power of generating electricity can be tested by
reducing the errors occurred in the past on diagnosing the decision taken on the situation. The
literatures are studied for generating the picture of action taken to create the knowledge for
determining the new phenomenon to solve the situation. The interpretation of the reflection is
the process which is used for determining the new ideas for the scenario. The generation of
the new ideas depends on the cycle of motivation, action, and re-motivation. The relevant
data should be provided for creating new vision of the situation. The level of confidence can
be measured with the effective generation of relevant idea. The living standard of the laos
people is of low grade which can be improved with the development of the dams in their
locality because the local people get employment which increases the means of earning,
improving road facilities, education system, and medical facilities. The road network of the
Laos can be upgraded with the effective management of electricity grid in the community.
The funds should be raised for providing educational facilities.
Deployment of Transmission lines:
The development of power generation from the hydroelectric power plant is used for
providing connection between Laos and Thailand. The 165Km is covered through the
transmission lines for covering national conservation area. The operational capability of the
plant helps in reducing the risks during the working hours of the plants.

Investment in the laying down of construction process:
The investment in the construction process helps in laying down rules and regulations on the
basis of national and international level. The efficiency of the power plant can be improved
by laying down the transmission lines all over the project. On-going operations are used for
facilitating the best practices for balancing the financial cost of the system. The long term and
short term cost is pre-defined so that the new products, technologies, and equipment can be
purchased according to the requirement of the project.
Impact on Landscape:
The rating of the landscape is in between 0 to 5. The straight cut method is used for laying
down the transmission lines for the development of the site. The deployment of latest
technologies helps in improving the negative effect of constructing the dam. “The validity of
the source information should be checked for developing further plans and generating list of
alternatives” (Cossette, 2013). The ethical values should be given privilege so that the
sentiments and emotion should not be affected.
Risks associated with Accident:
The reduction in the complexity of the project helps in reducing the amount of risks
associated with the occurrence of accident. “The effective decision in the development of the
construction plan helps in reducing the risks occurred at the site location” (Dagget, 2013).
The solidification of the ideas helps in measuring the success of the creative thinking skills
used for overcoming the situation.
Employment:
The output of the project depends upon the operational output of the power plant. The new
opportunities are opened for employment in the locality which results into improving better
lifestyle. The investment plan and skilled labour is used for completing the construction of
the project effectively. “The living standard of the laos people is of low grade which can be
improved with the development of the dams in their locality because the local people get
employment which increases the means of earning, improving road facilities, education
system, and medical facilities” (Bower, 2013).
Output energy produced:
It has been found that the higher amount of energy is produced from the site A due to the
flow of water from the Nam Kading river. “The output of the project depends upon the
operational output of the power plant” (Boud, 2005). The collection of information helps in
getting the live experience of generating decision to solve the problem.
Profitability:
The profitability is the important concept for judging the output produced from the project.
The cash flow management helps in improving the operational capability of the organization.
The utilization of the Work based learning opens the path for the occurrence of the innovative
ideas. “The parameters should be measured for applying Work based learning in the areas of
tasks, challenges, and the associated assignments” (Shacklett, 2004). The strategy of
resolving the issues is based on the answers highlighted for the questions such as when, why,
how, what, which, whom, and others. The resolution of the verbal statement helps in aiding
values to the validity of the creative thinking. The calculation of the net present value helps in
measuring the profit of the enterprise.

Corporate Taxes:
The Laos government helps in measuring the concession in licensing of the project. “The
guidelines should be followed for shaping the ideas to attain the level of perfection”
(Macmilian, 2005). The interpretation of the answers should be accurately done. “The focus
should be given on the findings and the evaluation counted for the data collected” (Beale,
2012). The faults and errors in the design can affect the ideas generated on the basis of
creativity. The sale of electricity helps in calculating the profit of the power plant.
Outcome of the project:
The development plan of the project depends on the construction of site A and site B. The site
A is equipped with flooding of water at the location. The burial site can remain unaffected. It
has been found that 60% of the marine life gets affected. “The output of the annual energy
can be raised with the development of hydroelectric Dam at Laos. The new opportunities are
created for the employees” (Bolton, 2015). The low investment is required for the
development of the community. “The straight cut method is used for managing the
transmission lines between Laos and Thailand” (Scott, 2013). The profitability of the project
can be raised to $ 110000. The collection of corporate taxes is about $ 24200.
Conclusion:
In this paper, we are focusing on the Nam Kading hydro power project. There are various
parties which are interested in the development of the hydro power plant which are named as
union of construction workers, expert of environment, NGOs for ecological balance,
Archaeological interest, office of agricultural and forestry, and local villagers. 40% of the
shares are hold by hydro con, 35% is of Lao PDR holdings, and 25% of PTE energy. The
transmission line for the supply of electricity is laid down from Laos and Thailand. The
development plan of the project depends on the construction of site A and site B. The site A
is equipped with flooding of water at the location. The output of the annual energy can be
raised with the development of hydroelectric Dam at Laos. The new opportunities are created
for the employees. The process of Work based learning should be passed from the
strategically cross sectional view of the situation. The translation of the activities helps in
achieving the ideas for the betterment of the area of concern. The information used as the
source of evidence should be reviewed for the validity of data collected matches with the
situation or not. The relevant data should be provided for creating new vision of the situation.
The profitability of the Laos can be improved with the development of the new hydroelectric
dam. The feeling of motivation and development of the action plan helps in generating the
new vision of the complex situation to provide new ideas for taking effective decision and
judgement. The live experience of the problematic situation aids the experience in generating
the creative ideas and innovative schemes of action plan.
