PART ONELEARNING CONTRACT
Learning Contract Level 5 ProjectSection 1: Student and course detailsName:Tutor:Project/Placement:Section 2: FocusAim/Problem StatementIn order to achieve a certain level of education, there is a need to push oneself tolearn and understand how to learn. The aim of this portfolio is to develop a self-directed learning arrangement. This will eventually map out the vital strategies andtools needed to become a better learner. Furthermore, to systematically enhance theway we think critically and also to promote effective decision and problem solvingskills.The ability to learn effectively can help students develop vital skills and knowledgenecessary in academy and also in a long run or future prospect and also aidemployability from work based learning [ CITATION Hel15 \l 2057 ]. As an adult andautonomous learner, it is significant to have a schedule and guided leaning schemein order to stay focus and determined. This learning contract is projected to be a bridge between the learner and theprogramme Tutor; this will practically create a suitable communication to understandthe vital learning need and help me to stay focus[ CITATION Hel15 \l 2057 ]. In otherwords, would enhance how to learn, its application, assessment and analyses.Lastly, the major focus of this learning contract is to understand and concentrate onsome learning difficulties areas and then establish possible ways to solve or makeimprovement. Communication, problem solving and working in a team skills aresome of my learning concern that needs attention. A meaningful understanding ofthese skills mentioned can aid and determine my learning prospect and also build abetter career accomplishment in the future. Learning Outcomes As a result of this project I am able:1.Build a portfolio of evidence using a range of methodologies and activities (logbooks; critical incident diaries; employer or supervisor feedback).
2.Identify and articulate the development of work related skills mapped to evidence drawn from either the project or placement. 3.Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the background and context relative to the chosen project or placement opportunity.4.Evaluate the effectiveness of preparation and planning undertaken prior to theplacement or project implementation.Section 3: JustificationCompany`s success significantly depends on the ability for individuals or candidateto understand the application of some basic skills and techniques in academy.Organisation and businesses would prefer to work with or employ individual that candemonstrate skills such as problem solving, communication, team management anddecision making. As I pursue my dream and goal to become an expert in the oil andgas industry, it is very important that I stay focus and firm. Although, there arevarious challenges as an adult and autonomous learner, these can be from family,finance and time management. However, the desire to achieve my learning goalpersists. And this is achievable with self-discipline and assistant from my moduletutor. It is obvious that this learning scheme will eventually enhance my learningability, give desired energy, knowledge and vital skills needed to gain necessarystudy skills and also create a platform for career development in the future.It is necessary in most cases to always keep a certain level of determination,interest, smart decision making and staying focus as an autonomouslearner[ CITATION Cot13 \l 2057 ].There are significant evidence that stimulation based teaching experiences canproduce much needed management skills. The major objective of every organisationis positive productivity and maximum profitability. And these can be guaranteed withcandidates having a clear understanding of vital skills such as communication anddecision making[ CITATION Gol14 \l 2057 ].During the simulation exercise, my learning progress and development can bedignified with the level of seriousness and knowledge gained and these would beseen through feedback from my tutor.In justifying this learning contract, it is important to understand the application ofvarious research methods individually or as a group and lastly being able to applygained experience in a real life situation.Section 4: MethodsI have chosensimulation as my method pathway. The reason is because there wasno work placement provision at Greenwich School of Management (GSM) currently,so there was no chance to practically involve in a work based real life activity or
experience. However, we were given an opportunity for the option of a simulationexperience. In the present day, simulation is the most used technique generally usedby teaching institutions and business organizations to enhance students orindividual’s participation, awareness and management skill[ CITATION Gro17 \l 2057].Simulation activities can help students to understand and set various principles forachievements. It also enhances the ability to analyse and evaluate data for futureimprovement[ CITATION Kol15 \l 2057 ].There are various platforms or methods that can be used in this assessment. But thequestion is which one is more favourable. The advantages of using simulationplatform ranges from the low cost involvement to reduced risk experience andoptimised use of accessible resources.Section 5: TimetableThe major challenge as an adult learner is time management, having the ability tomanage family, work and education at the same time. Time management is animportant tool in everyday activities, it helps to stay organised and focused. Having aclear picture of my time table can portrait me as a determined and positive learner.My PPDI Module has numerous tasks which need to be studied and understoodadequately within given weeks of the programme activities. I have been able lay outmy time schedule for the various tasks and also know when my coursework is duefor submission (deadline). Furthermore, with time, I have gained a suitable learningstyle, understood the concept of a learning contract and also have knowledge onhow to conduct various research methods and evaluate information. See appendixfor breakdown of the week’s activities.Section 6: Evidence of accomplishmentBy the end of this project I will produce a portfolio containing:The learning contract and associated appendices Ethics Review form Project Report Skills Grid Supporting evidence (log books, critical incident diaries, and employer and/or Tutor feedback)
