PERSONALIZED
LEARNING

Personalised learning is related with the educational approach in which the
main motive is to make the customisation or modification of learning according to
each of the students skills, interests and their strengths(Patton and Thomas, 2019).
To the students it is important that their tutor makes the learning plan on how they
can develop the learning. Students with their teachers makes the development of
their short term and long term goals so that they can develop the learning and can
also achieve success in the learning which they will do. This report will cover the
personal development plan, the goals which has to be developed and the personal
objectives.
SWOT analysis-
Strengths-
 Critical thinking- This skill is considered to be the strength of mine in which I
am able to express my thoughts and the situation in which I will be most
comfortable. It helps me majorly when I have to do my assignment to conduct
research on information.
 Collaboration skill- I am able to work in a team when the task are divided on
the basis of capabilities. This is important to me because when I have to work
with many people then it helps me in the development of new ideas and
thoughts.
Weakness-
 Communication skill- This skill of mine needs improvement because I know
that this will not help me in developing my confidence.
 Responsibility- I am not good in taking responsibilities for the work which is
given to me by my tutor(Mäkelä and et. al., 2018). This is the reason because
of which I lack in becoming accountable for tackling the challenges.
Opportunities-

 Internship programs- Attending any of the internship program will be helpful
to me as this will make me develop my skills(Wong and Li, 2020). The
internship program which I will pursue is in accordance with my future goals.
 Learning of new skills- I will make the identification of learning and the
development of skills which will be helpful to me for achieving success in my
career.
Threats-
 Increase in competition- The increasing competition is terrifying me daily
because students are pursuing new things which is helping them in the
development of their capabilities.
 Lack of resources- This is the another threat which can affect in achieving
the success. It is because in pursuing any of the degree the finance is a main
resource which will be required.
Personal development plan-
Analytical skills-
 What do I have to do?- To increase my analytical skills I have to develop the
habit of reading more things. It is because when I will develop the habit of
learning and reading more then this will help me to develop the conclusions. I
will solve more mathematical problems which will be helpful to me in
identifying the ways by which the maths problem will be used as this is used
in jobs.
 How will I measure success?- The analytical skills of mine will be developed
on the basis of giving online aptitude test which will provide me the feedback
as to how much I have to learn and what improvements I have to make in
developing this skill(Donitsa-Schmidt and Ramot, 2020).
 Target date for review?- Around 6 Months
Communication skills-
 What do I have to do?- To increase and develop my communication skill I
have to increase the conversation with other people because with this only I
would be bale to make the sentence formation and choosing of right words.
Reading and writing diary will also be helpful to me in developing my

communication skills.
 How will I measure success?- Communication skill of mine will be
developed on the basis of taking feedbacks from people as what things I have
to change and what improvements I can make. This will also be identified on
the basis of identifying that how confident I have become in having
conversation with other people(Cheng, Watson and Newby, 2018).
 Target date for review?- 1 Month
Personal Objectives
The short term goal which I have to pursue is to develop a morning routine. It
is because I am the person who usually wake up late in the morning because of
which I have to leave many of the important activities which can be done only in the
time of morning. The another thing which I have to develop is to explore some thing
which is new to me and will be helpful in developing my future goal. The other goal is
to attend the personality development class. In the medium term goal I have to make
the identification of the goal which I have to pursue in my future. It is important
because with this only I would be able to design my future plan(Lee and et. al.,
2018). The other plan is to finish the degree course which I am pursuing which will
be important. It is because after finishing the course I would be able to find out
another thing which I have to learn. The other is to find out the weak skill in me and
to develop it. My long term goal will be to learn a new language which will be for the
years as this will help me to pursue new opportunities. The another long term goal of
mine will be to receive the hiring call from my dream job. Increasing my income is the
another long term goal which I have to achieve because with this I can accomplish
any of the things which I want to.
Conclusion
From the above report it can be concluded that personalised learning is
important for the students because it ensures the engagement of students. The
reason for this is that if the teachers will be making the plan as to how it has to be
communicated to students then in this way the students will learn fast and would be

able to gets engaged in the classroom learning. Not just this, the decision making will
be improved because of the concentration which will be made by students on the
learning.
