TASK 1 1500
1.1 Concept of professionalism and dual professionalism in education and training
Professionalism
Professionalism is behaviour, conduct and the attitude of someone in work or business
environment. It mainly leads to the workplace success, better professional goodwill and high
level of the excellence and work ethics. This is skill that mainly goes beyond what an individual
would have is formal manner. Professionalism can be defined as a occupational value that was
important to the stability of the organisation. It includes the skill, good judgement and polite
behaviour that from a person who is trained to do job in the organisation. It helps in setting the
standards, and accepting practices with in a particular area. It helps to act in a particular manner
and able to perform a job role. It is a behaviour and attitude of someone in the working
environment, ans should have a proper ethics that should be followed in the organisation. While
doing employment professionals asked graduates which professional competencies is important
in working place environment (Brooks, 2016). It can create professionalism by being productive,
creating professional image, by taking initiatives, maintaining effective working
habits ,managing the time efficiently or by solving the problems. It helps in building the

relationship with the colleagues, customers and clients and work in teams, and also in building
self awareness by accepting or reflect back on feedback to learn. professionalism as education
and training helps teachers and trainers to improve the skills and provide wider quality of
education and training programmes. It helps to identify their own ideas of development. It helps
in experiencing and sharing the views for the further development, and to make judgements and
make decision based on their knowledge and experience which help to create trust among the
employees (Surr And et. al., 2017). Professionalism has three components which should be
followed like practices, vocational skills, and understanding knowledge which helps the teacher
to teach them in a proper manner. The teachers should made the plan and implement the plan in a
proper manner for the effective learning of students. It helps the student to develop their
knowledge and accepting their mistakes which is one of the important part of the
professionalism. It helps in developing the interest of the students and get motivated them by
given them different task and to act in a professional way. Students should clear their confusion
before doing any work which is one of the important part doing mistakes may lead to dislike
their work by the leaders or the managers. Professional person take a training from their heads so
that in future also they can take the decision which is correct for the organisation.
Dual Professionalism:
Dual professionalism is an in-depth knowledge , understanding and learning with proper
knowledge and skills. In dual professionalism teachers and students are both subject specialist
and teaching specialist and always committed with their work so that they get outcomes for their
learners. It helps the individuals to grow and develop and help in enhancing knowledge while
doing any work. It help in overcoming with the barriers to learning and help them to deal with
them if the same problem arise in the future. It helps in deriving the potential for both teacher
and training of students. It helps in maintaining the national standards for attaining the targets.
Dual professionalism is the proper way in which resources can be utilised properly and give
proper results in the future also. It helps in enhancing the knowledge and skills of the employees
for getting the best results in most suited manner (Laverack, 2019). Dual professionalism in
education and training helps in proper supervision of the work and the person shout be
trustworthy,honest and should not use their knowledge for the wrong use that harm the
organisation or the society. The person should have in-depth knowledge of the work doing by
them this build a confidence and able to deal with the problems. Practitioners should up to date

all their skills of both their teaching and their training methods and should have awareness about
all the development in the organisation. It helps in learning more about their practical skills
which is very important for the person in dual specialisation (Carpenter and Dickinson, 2016).
One should meet their knowledge with their skills so that the outcome should be proper and give
benefits to the learners also. It helps in developing high level of education and skill which make
the work easy and professional in a particular way.
1.2 Ways in which own professional values influence own practice in an area of specialism
Professional values is related to principles that central to the practising profession for
integrity, altruism, compassion and ability to be partner with the members of team. Values do
impact on the professional relationship and the practices also. The professional values mainly
impact on subject content with delivery at maintaining the impartiality and consideration for
different complexities and problems of the students. There are different kinds of professionalism
such as practices, vocational skills and knowledge related to understanding that can make
improvement in the ability of the teachers in effective manner. For an instance, teacher should be
humble, be on the time to help the students in order to resolve the complexities. This should be
appreciate as well as identified the students to working them. This is examined that professional
values that motivates teacher to make improvement in teaching capability in an efficient manner.
Other than this, professional values helps the teachers to create plan as well as execute them for
providing the better learning of the students. This mainly instruct to develop the safe working
environment wherein students are remain continue and enthusiastic to doing the new things.
These are helpful for the teachers to be connect and valued with the students and make solutions
of issues as well as complicated things in timely basis. For this, this is necessary to make the
students competent, doing the assessment on regular basis, taking feedback that results provided
to students to examine as well as accept their mistake. In this context, it will enhance the
classroom engagement and will make teachers more responsible for the students. In the
secondary school, I worked as learning support assistant and my work was to plan the lessons,
examine necessary resources in order to carried out lessons (Ireton and Posetti, 2018). On the
other hand, professional values also impact on meeting organisational approaches and policies to
maintain audit competence within domain. This is likely to be influence teaching quality than the
learning. It is assumed to develop the high education standard involving within development of
better practices within institutions. I was responsible for them so they could connect easily

themselves with lessons. I tried to structure the lessons always with proper arranging of
resources. In regards to this, I felt more concerned to be support them to understand left out the
confusion and lessons to guide them to reach embedded lesson of specific topic.
TASK 2
2.1 Ways in which social, political and economic factors influence education policy
Education is one of the effective tool for social change that result of quality education
contents, human need change as. Education policy includes of ethics laws which shape all
operation as well as function in educational sector (McGrath and Powell, 2016). As the education
policy should be connect as well as reflect to social environment and also school environment
should connect to live experience. The policies are set of the rules and laws that mainly underpin
the training and education and these are mainly shaped through economic, social and also
political factors. As government plays an important role in shaping the educational policy. They
mainly designed the educational policies with attention as well as focus on education outcomes.
Education policies mainly serves purpose to the positivity impact learning outcomes. This has
wider implication on the economic prosperity of country. Government generally formulate the
educational policies which gravitate serve requirement of an economy. On the other hand,
educational policy is shaped through several factors which impact on policy formulation for an
instance social and economic aspects that drives the formulation of policy and in which manner
it impact on society at large. Different factors influence education policy mention below:
Political factor- In this, political leadership provides the important debates on the
education policy which fit requirement of country. It aims at improving performance as well as
achievement in the education. Governance policy should steered the educational provider in such
as way that can make improvement in educational standard. Intention that underpinning
background of education policy is to give the valuable learning resource for diverse learning
requirements set (Byram and et. al., 2016). In United Kingdom, schools are mainly run through
the political parties, business investors and the associations which shape environment of the
colleges and schools. Other than this, political philosophy that mainly controls country
government has inevitable impact on the education. This factor mainly dictated administration
type that education system will have.

Social factor- The society has power to affect government and media has ability to
influence the society. This is based on press to be visualise educational matter in such as manner
that cab develop negative or positive concepts in mind of society.
2.2 Impact of current educational policies on curriculum and practice in own area of specialism
Educational policies and practices are the crucial aspects that put their huge impact over
the educational system as it help students in improving their career growth and also make them
able to develop their competences (Tondeur and et. al., 2016). In UL educational system, various
unfavourable judgement are there related with the limited options for selection activity, bias
behaviour as per gender, inequality, unethical behaviour and so on. All these are put negative
impact over the individual performance and their learning activities. Therefore, it is stated that
lack of resources and fund is also create difficulties in-front of students in getting proper
education and academic lesson as well. In addition to this, proper stationary, tuition fees and
other important resources is also cost expensive in UK to successfully fulfil the procedures of
education activities. These are directly affect the individual learning programs. As I am a
graduate in BBA in the specialisation of HR sector. In this specific specialisation, current
educational policies are put their impact over the today's modern technologies. Use of online
technologies and internet includes high cost and also affect the entire education system of an
individual.
4.1 Key aspects of policies, codes of practice and guidelines of an organisation
In an educational sector, instructor or teachers play an important role as they are
responsible to follow all the policies and procedures that assist them in delivering proper
operational values to its students. Therefore, implementing specifications within the institutes,
teacher can set effective example for students and staff members in which they execute and
perform their activities for attainment their set targets in specified time frame. In relation to this,
current policies within the educational organisation in UK includes the objectives of reducing
inequalities between students and teachers. It also focus on eliminating the gap in attainment of
higher growth and support to school as per the implemented educational policies (Orlando,
2016). As per guidelines of educational organisation in UK, it is significant for institutes to
follow all the important guidelines so that teachers can easily deliver learning programs. This can
be reduce the possibilities of arising conflicts between learners. In this, the guidelines on the
basis of assessment is followed that is related with standard and testing agency. Mainly,

guidelines and policies are includes students development and stakeholder that improve the
performance level of staff members within the business. Thus, development of skills and abilities
of teachers and stakeholder are also important within the educational policies (Hunt and et. al.,
2020). This can be contributes in enhancing the skills and also support in following all the right
process of education. By this, exchange of proper values of educational can be successfully
completed that support teacher and students to enhance their competencies.
4.2 Impact of organisational requirements and expectations on curriculum practice in own area of
specialism
Curriculum practices is effective in improving the career growth of an individual in
specified area and specifications. As, I have played a role of leaning support associate in
educational agency. I am a specialisation in the area of providing guidance and at the same time
also assisting teachers for improving their development and lesson plan that they needs to deliver
within the class activities. In this relation, it is important for me to deliver an effective and
appropriate lesson that assist in providing value information to students that contributes in
developing their competencies. Furthermore, my role within the educational institutes support
students in enhancing their skills and knowledge in particular area of their career. By this, learner
can easily acquire right and accurate information that support them in developing their
performance level. In relation to this, my area of specification provide assistance to both teacher
and students in which they easily understand the lesson present in the classroom for development
of specified area and further improvement. Apart from this, organisational needs is also refers to
the important aspects within the area of teaching in which teacher is responsible to have in-depth
understanding about the specified area and concept of education. This can be contributes in
providing quality and valuable learning programs to its students. On the other hand, if teacher
has not enough knowledge about educational concept then they fail in delivering valuable
aspects to students. In this leader is able to blame team for inappropriate guidance.
In addition to this, as per my work role organisational needs and expectation is also focus
on delivering quality educational values to students in order to enhance their abilities and
competencies (Alice and Pauline, 2016). This is the reason that institution able teacher to
improve the quality of education and at the same time also develop the standard in which
students get effective learning for development of their career growth. Organisational needs also
provide assistance to teacher in managing all the important material that help in making an

effective learning procedure in which students get proper guidance for developing their specified
area of careers. Thus, it is analysed that high expectation and results may create pressure in-front
of teacher and students. This is the reason that proper educational expectation and requirement is
effective for shape the job of teacher as it includes specified roles and responsibilities that
contributes in attaining all the set goals and objectives in specified period of time by developing
the professional growth of staff members.

can either affect or affected by the business. The primary stake holders are
Investors,employees,customers and suppliers (Brookfield, 2018). These are the person who has
interest in the decision and the different activities of the organisation. Stakeholder and external
bodies in education are the person who has interest in the success and the welfare of the school
and education system. These are parties who are directly or indirectly affected by the success or
failure of the system. An education programs build a stronger community by preparing the
students to be the successful community members in the future. Every stakeholder and external
bodies play a different role in supporting the education system. They also provide finance to the
educational organisation which helps the organisation in meeting the targets and earning
benefits. The stakeholders are also called as learner, trainer, manager,financial manager,
executives and the directors. They should have a strong sense of learning and able to provide
training to the people in the organisation. In training the employees are taught how to make a
good use of time and work an pressure under the organisation.

reason that, giving their best efforts and doing work hard assist in developing the learning
activities. Furthermore, it also includes developing as well as creating values that focus on
delivering right and accurate information to students. This will provide assistance to students in
developing their career growth. In this context, different stakeholder in educational area and
training is also considered as an important activity that assist in developing positive influence
over the company and staff members by enhancing their skills and knowledge. In addition to
this, stakeholder also includes as an important people who are able in delivering skilled and
talented staff members so that they perform well and accomplished their set targets in an

is help in meeting all the organisation goals and objectives that contributes in building positive
brad image at market place.

3.3 It is important to work in partnership with employers and other stakeholders in education and
training
Employee partnership is an important activity within the business organisation and
educational sector. As effective collaborating and partnership along with employees and
stakeholder includes various benefits which is related with the educational sector. In this regards,
it is also effective in attaining higher profitability that reduce the negative impact over the
business and its overall performance (Jarvis, 2018). Along with this, proper partnership is also
effective in determining the opportunities that leads in high development within the employees
activities. Another advantage of partnership and proper collaboration with employees is also
assist in sharing resources and at the same time also determine requirement of students in context
of attainment of organisational goals and objectives. As it may reduce the possibilities of arising
any kind issues in implementing as well as following the learning activities. This can be effective
in improving the organisational performance by keeping all the workers able to reach their set
targets.
In addition to this, stakeholder partnership is also refers to the important aspect that focus
in sharing all the necessary resources that contributes in delivering values to students for making
them able. One of the main advantage of this partnership is to use optimum utilisation of all the
available resources so that organisation can easily provide proper learning programs to its
students for improving their competencies. In this context, the learning programs also consider
meetings, proper interactions and development activities that beneficial for students and
organisation to deliver development area in which staff members can improve their performance
level.
3.4 Impact of being accountable to stakeholders and external bodies on curriculum design,
delivery and assessment in own area of specialism
Stakeholder and external bodies are also includes within the creating policies that used in
a design of curriculum. Thus, it is important for organisation and educational sector to includes
all the necessary requirement of external bodies so that students get positively influenced and
improve their overall performance. In this context, being a accountable to stakeholder, I have
improved my different skills that support me in providing value education to students for
developing their competencies (Walker and et. al., 2016). As I have also improve my abilities to
present or developed a lesson plan for students. This can be beneficial for improving the
