INTRODUCTION
Teaching is profession which comprises different activities and process that is being used
for delivering knowledge to students. For the individual learning is entire lifetime process. The
learner, curriculum and other variables are organized in systematic manner and in psychological
way as to achieve some per-determined goals. It is part of learning process which is influenced
by social and human factors. Effective teaching helps in improving learning skills of students,
acquisition of knowledge and shape behavior in pupils (Bin, and Mandal, 2019). For the report
specialism area is geography. The report will cover aims of education & training in specialism
area, analyzing philosophical issues. The understanding of aims & structure of key qualification
and learning program is described. In report, understanding is provided for resources of inclusive
teaching & learning. In addition, report covers liaise with other and reviewing impact of liaison
within specialist area and knowledge & skills is improved.
TASK A
1.1 Aims of education and training in specialist area.
The role of teacher in the specialism area is important in institution. The aim of education
& training in the field of geography is to offer better education and develop better environment
in the education system as to have inclusive learning practices. The effective education and
training to students in geography helps in providing better opportunities in process of learning.
The main aim of education and training in field of geography is to evaluate the curriculum and
improving of education system in organisation (Conway, 2020). In specialism area of geography
training and education is used for improving the practices so that students can better
opportunities in the learning program. The skills of teacher in specialism area helps in improving
planning, curriculum, lesson planning, teaching methods etc. To develop better coordination and
communication between students is the aim of education & training.
1.2 Philosophical issues related to education & training.
Within the education & training there are several long term and short term philosophical
issues which are related to practices that is being used in process of education and training. The
issues arises is related with the learning practices which is used in education ad training in
specialism of geography. In teaching process, teacher face philosophical challenges that are
associated with ethical and social factors that is required to considered in education organisation.
1

Having of poor ethical and social values in process of education reduces the moral values in
learner and negative environment is created in organisation. In the field of geography the
philosophical issues are related to epistemological, metaphysical and axiological. Other issues
are related to air and water pollution, coastal erosion etc. in specialism area of geography.
2.1 Aims and structure of key qualifications in specialism area.
For the teacher, it is required to have desired qualification in order to teach properly in
the field of geography. The qualification helps in enhancing the confidence level of teacher
which is necessary for them to posses desired skills to carry the work in effective manner. It is
also important for the teacher to have certificate along with work experience in the subject of
specialism. Apart, form this teacher of geography is required to have education skills such as
leadership, counselling, curriculum and instruction, etc. The qualification required for becoming
geography teacher is Bachelor degree with B.Ed, J.B.T and CTET exams etc. The degree course
required for geography are B.A.(geography), B.SC. (geography). The master course required for
geography are M.A, M.Sc. The aim of geography teacher is to teach course to students,
evaluating there class work, assignments. The teacher also enables pupils to acquire knowledge
of natural resources (Curtis, and Romney, 2019).
2.2 Aims and structure of learning programmes in own specialism area.
The educational learning programme has a number of goals in the subject of geography.
The goal of the learning programme is to acquire skills, knowledge, and attitudes. It has a
significant impact on students' lives since learning programmes are created in a way that
facilitates effective learning. Being a teacher of geography, learning programme in the classroom
helps students in maintaining the attention that is essential for their overall development. The
learner develops the necessary abilities, which increases the pupils' academic productivity. The
structure of learning program boost students’ skill by focusing on curriculum requirements. In
the field of geography, the learning program is in form of internship which helps students in
attaining practical knowledge. The effective usage of learning program makes students effective
so as to carry its learning in effective way.

4.1 Ways in which resources meet individual needs of learners involving new and emerging
technologies.
The employment of advance technology in the geography specialisation area of the
educational system aids in boosting both student learning and the educational system. The
effectiveness of geography subject can be increased in the educational system by utilising block
chain technology and the evaluation process. Online learning is a useful tool for evaluating
education in distant areas. Additionally, many assessment programmes are provided to students,
offering a variety of courses (Fuson, 2020). Teachers must adjust to these changes in teaching as
a result of the new technology's impacting on company management practises. When teaching a
course of geography, the teacher needs a variety of materials, including case studies, notes, audio
or visual recordings, etc. The pupils can readily understand common topics through power point
presentations and can quickly grasp the general concept. A reliable internet connection that
doesn't interfere with teaching is essential.
2.3 Approach to planning and presentation for delivery of learning program.
The planning and preparation are considered important perspective which leads to
development of better learning from several program. Its is one of the most important
perspectives that is needed for making geography subject more effective part of learning. In
creation of learning program as a teacher I take use of several steps as to develop better learning
for students in field of geography (Wilson, 2019). The need of learning process is considered by
me as to plan effective learning. The peer review is considered in process of learning as to get
better results in learning program. All learning objectives are created during the learning process
to keep it in line with student needs and requirements. The particular learning programme in
geography is created in accordance with learner needs and requirements and includes correct
procedures used in learning programmes. A procedure of evaluation is carried out to determine
whether a learning programme is effective.
3.2 Approach to planning and presentation for delivery of learning program by taking key
curriculum issues involving role of new & emerging technologies.
In the learning program the planning and preparation through new technologies have
great effect on the learning process as student learn differently in field of geography. The
technology has made the interaction with students in easy way (Gayam, and et.al., 2021). In the
education system different technologies are used that are implemented as innovation and creative
3

practice in organisation. being teacher of geography, I will take use of technology to provide
online classes to students. Digital education, artificial intelligence, information systems, and test
administration systems are the technologies I will apply to the educational system. I'll make use
of all the available technology in the educational field to help pupils to achieve their learning
objectives. I will also give the learner access to a number of assessment tools so they may gauge
the effectiveness of the educational system.
3.1 Analyse the inclusiveness of own approach to the planning and preparation of a learning
programme in own specialist area
It is crucial for geography teachers to take a variety of approaches in the educational field
into consideration when planning and developing inclusive learning. The use of an approach aids
teachers in enhancing how the learning process affects students. Common strategies include
incorporating information into the educational system; taking into account inclusive practises
when constructing curricula; developing flexibility and making modifications as needed; and
emphasising retention and good job placement (Tolipov, 2020). In the inclusive learning process,
all such approaches are implemented as to improve the learning ability of students. Planning and
preparation for a learning programme in geography can begin with an executive level
programme, which will give students an overview of the program's overall goals and outcomes.
Finding performance gaps will aid in assessing weaknesses and provide crucial direction for
where to concentrate the learning programme.
4.2 Analyse inclusiveness of own use of teaching and learning resources in specialism area.
Teaching is an essential activity that motivates and forces pupils to acquire knowledge in
a variety of subjects and skill sets. It is necessary to have the right resources in place so that
students' needs can be met, their questions can be answered, and they can get help learning more
about various topics (Hargreaves and Woods, 2019). Teaching resources are needed to alter the
classroom environment. The resources will lead to better geography knowledge the more
efficiently and conveniently they are used. The pupils can find it advantageous to buy more
whenever they want, anywhere. These modern tools will support the preservation of student
information, files, and projects.

TASK B
5.1 Liaise with others within a specialist area to develop own practice
In teaching and learning within geography, there is requirement of liaison with others
specialist group and individuals as to offer learning support to pupils. Teaching is about
exploring of new knowledge and learning to have better opportunities. Henceforth, organisation
is required to liaison with others to provide learning programs, collaboration, participating in
new learnings. (Makhmudovna, and et.al., 2020). The liaison helps in making better classroom
environment. sometimes, in the field of geography there are some topics which do not meet the
student’s interest which impacts on their learning potential. In such case, liaison with other
involves staff development, to engage with experts, external educators, other subject staff etc.
through these liaisons in classroom well decorum environment can be maintained.
In subject of geography there are several institutions that uses promotional strategies
which is important to considered by students for taking diploma courses. The great classroom
activities are provided by examiner, specialist trainer so that student can learn about interaction
with others and skills can be enhanced. The student will get the knowledge about geography
because it is significant for business to grow in modern business world. While working as a
geography teacher, I made a lot of findings that are very important and helpful for both the
teacher and the students to learn. I made an effort to get in touch with other educators and
trainers working in the same industry (Si, 2019). I continually strive to develop my
technological proficiency while also learning new vocabulary in order to inspire the students to
whom I teach geography classes on Zoom. I also make an effort to build relationships with my
classmates and senior teachers so they can evaluate my abilities both as a teacher and a person. I
look for new opportunities and obstacles that may be overcome by using my talents, and I try to
form close bonds with students in school.
5.2 Review the impact of liaison with other teachers and trainers within own specialist area on
own practice.
For the teacher and student liaison with others is an important activity which is about
taking support from other experts, institutions and peers as to gain more knowledge in the filed
of geography. The geography is broad conception which is applied to different organisation in
diverse way that creates positive impact on teaching. In the field of geography, it is required to
5

develop different strategies which requires coping up with uncertainties that creates impact on
student education. To teach students I would be able to develop strategies by understanding their
behaviour and personality towards the area of subject. The external liaison impacts on driving
information which provides some new information in relation subject area that enhance
knowledge and criteria regarding the conception of geography among students. By taking
support with experts and trainers teaching practices will become more effective that will help in
boosting institution reputation by creating emphasise on university (Mills, 2020). The liaison
with other teachers helps in designing new program by taking motivation from experts and other
events which assist in being creative towards the teaching practices that is easy to attract students
for this purpose, external liaison is required to make students involved in new programmes and
making them learn from new experiences. To encourage students towards personal growth the
liaison would impact in knowledge and understanding of students. Hence, incorporating skills
will require student to grow their academic capabilities for professional career development. Due
to the dynamic environment and frequent change in my own teaching practise, I also need to
improve my skills (Pinner, 2019). Therefore, it is crucial to strengthen some weak areas and
capabilities by participating in training, expert sessions, events, and seminars in order to adapt to
this environment. Additionally, cooperation skills are necessary. Therefore, cooperation and
interpersonal relationships are undoubtedly developed among the students in these liaison
training sessions.
TASK C
6.1 Review effectiveness of own knowledge & skills
I have learned several skills and knowledge in own area of specialisation which is
geography as to provide students effective teaching and training. For me it is important to have
necessary skills regarding the own subject area so that best skills can be provided to students.
therefore, I have knowledge about the subject of geography, its strategies and models that are
effective to make students learning in most effective way. in my classroom I have distinct way of
teaching as I believe in having the understanding of concept instead of memorising them. To
make my class interesting I take use of case studies, flow charts and practical question as to
apply models on scenario. Being and geography teacher, I am required to find several problems
related to subject and leads to find out what students expect and how learning can be made easy.
6

In order to take lectures and sessions in university related to geography subject there is
requirement of degree. In the own area of specialism all knowledge and skills are effective that
helps in making students future bright. As a result, it is essential to employ control over skilful
practises. I might use actual cases and examples from the field of geography to demonstrate the
students' interest in speaking and presenting.
6.2 Identifying own strength and areas for improvement in relation to practice
Personal swot analysis
Strength Weakness
 I am skilled at making presentations
both orally and visually. It aims to
increase students' interest in the field.
 I have strong interpersonal and
communication abilities, which aid me
in creating a happy workplace. I
constantly solicit advice and comments
from others by engaging in regular
conversation.
 I excel at imparting the appropriate
information and developing
programmes for students.
 One of my limitations is that I am not
capable to use any teaching strategies
when teaching geography.
 I also don't often provide tests and
evaluations, so I don't know where my
students are struggling.
Opportunities Threats
 I could seek assistance from a liaison,
which would make it simple to
establish more enticing activities and
programmes in order to increase
student involvement.
 I have excellent opportunities to use
digital technologies to help students
learn through online platforms.
 Modern methods and a dynamic work
environment pose a threat to me. It
affects the design of the entire
curriculum and instructional tools. It
affects how well I perform on my own
specialism
 Due to my lack of connection with the
students, I am unable to build an
7

inclusive workplace.
It has been determined that additional tests and assessments must be administered to
students in order to understand their knowledge and behaviour, which will aid in determining
where they need to develop.
6.3 Identifying opportunities to improve and update own knowledge & skills in specialist area.
There are several opportunities for me in order to enhance my skills and
knowledge in the field of geography that can be done through attending events,
making collaboration with other staff. In order to update and improve my
knowledge and skills in own area of specialism it is required by me have better
knowledge of subject. The action plan is prepared to update knowledge & skills.
