INTRODUCTIONPersonal and professional development means to learn and implement new things withthe help of teachers, supervisors and mentor. It is a type of plan which is prepared in order toachieve the goal, strategies and outcomes which are targeted within a given time frame.Difference will be there in plans that are made by different individuals. This includes trainingsessions which can be formal or informal. It also involves reading, communication, meeting withcolleagues, learning skills and knowledge which will be used in future planning. The mostimportant aim of an individual is to develop its mind because everything in life is done by theuse of mind and the way it operates. For presenting my views and opinions on self-managedlearning, enhancement of lifelong development, the way I would take the responsibility of myown personal and professional development will be explained.
TASK 11.1 Self-managed learning is the mode of learning in which people applies differenttechniques of learning new things which they do not know. I am also preparing myself forlearning new things with the support of my teachers, family members, friends and colleagues.The aim is to get some valuable things from the professional learning. Self-managed learningpractice is helping me in identifying my needs and in developing my views on learning(Gijselaers, 2013). The environment in which learning is provided is supporting me with full ofenergy and enthusiasm. There are different learning approaches through which self-managedlearning can be enhanced such as:Honey & Mumford Learning styles: This is one of the most effective learning which mainly covers 4 type of learning stylesi.e. Activist, theorist, pragmatist and reflector. Honey and Mumford stated different qualities ofall these people. In this, activists learn by doing things they learn from practical experience whileTheorist always understands theory behind action. These types of learners require differenttheories and models to learn. In addition to this, Pragmatist put their learning into real world andmakes their experience from this. Lastly, reflector learns by observing and thinking about whathappened. These are the different ways of learning in which I am a Pragmatist and I use to putmy learning into real world. It is the best way through which individuals can learn and enhancetheir experience in a far better way.Seminars and Conferences: It is another most effective way to enhance the self-managed learning. By attendingvarious seminars, people can apply those things in their life to make their future better. Itenhances their knowledge as well as understanding and makes them confident about theircommunication as well as presentation skills. By attending seminars and take participation inconferences I am able to enhance my knowledge and expertise in various areas. Kolb's Experimental learning cycle As per Kolb's Experimental learning cycle, there are four phases which I am going toapply in my learning sessions. Among all of them, the first is “Concrete experience” that isrelated to feeling of doing something and gaining experience. At this stage I will learn throughthe knowledge which is given in the classroom and I will also learn through my experiences with
my teachers (Jogulu, 2010). The second part of learning life cycle is “Reflective Observation”.In this stage, I will observe the views and proposed ways to encourage lifelong learning forpersonal and professional development. Third stage is “Abstract Conceptualization” whichprovides a reflection to rise in new ideas as well as modification of existing ideas. Last stage iscalled “Active Experimentation” in which leaners applied them to around the world and see theresults. These four stages are presented by Kolb by which individual can enhance their learningexperience and knowledge as well. 2. Lifelong learning is one of the most crucial and significant parts of the developmentprocess of an individual. It is the process which encourages a person to cultivate the interest ofcontinuous learning or grabbing opportunities to learn new things. In order to enhance myprofessional development within competitive world, I will efficiently adopt lifelong learningprocess for my personal and professional development which will help me to attain wideprospects of growth and success. This measure will help me in enhancing my employabilityskills as well. In order to encourage lifelong learning, I will efficiently focus on the learningcycle. Life-long learning methods in a personal contextI will effectively read books and newspapers in order to keep myself updated with thelatest happening around the world. Moreover, reading books will help me in brushing up mytheories and concepts regarding various topics for example marketing, human resourcemanagement, etc. (Coetzee, 2007). Apart from this, I will develop a habit of analysing industrygrowth and professional factors which would help the business and people to grow withincompetition. I will try to develop and cultivate my skills to enhance my competitiveness withinmarket. Taking regular and timely feedback from industry experts and experienced person mayprove to be yet another effective measure for enhancing my professional growth.Life-long learning methods in a Professional contextThere are various ways through which life-learning can be enhanced within the professionalcareer such as:SWOT Analysis: It is the most effective method through which I am able to identify mystrength, weaknesses as well as threats and opportunities with reference to my professionalcareer. Through this, I can raise my confidence level and try to well work with the organization.
By identifying my weaknesses within the context of my professional life I always try toovercome with the same. Further, it can be determine that it is the most effective tool whichreflects the personality of individuals and help them in to make necessary changes forprofessional growth.Self-Reflective Learning: With the help of this method individual can learn several newthings and easily develop their work and personal skills. In this technique, opinion of otherpeople as well as judgment can take into consideration. It is the most effective method to betterdevelop the plan. 3.

It will help in articulating the reflections in a proper way that will help me touse the same in future as well. Doing own reflection is not adequate enough for professionaldevelopment (Hughes andYoungson, 2009). The third life cycle product is “AbstractConceptualization” which says that the plan for future learning can be based on the experiencesgained in current learning sessions which can be obtained by reading literature, books andtheories as well as by being present at the staff development and other activities. The last lifecycle stage is “Active Experimentation” which includes making plans to try and apply whateverwe have learned in the professional training and development programs.
