TASK 1
1.1
Self-managed acquisition is the activity in which a person's learning is encouraged and
knowledge is gained by once's own efforts(Zepeda, 2012). There are many approaches in which
self-learning is encouraged and gain various type of personal and professional skills to self-
development. The person can analyses, research and study the sources from the articles, online
internet portals, websites and journals of the topic which are already data gathered by someone
else. Self-managed learning is the process about to the setting the goals by evaluating the process
of learning and planning y them a person ensure their personal development and manage
themselves. Seminar and Conferences: seminar and conferences are a most important thing to
learning self managed approach, it is an opportunity in which a person can present their
knowledge about something to other people and also learn new things from other people
thoughts(Watts, 2010). Further seminar and conferences being able to a person more
assured in talking in public and also evolve their demonstration power.
 Internet: Internet is like a home, there are vast amounts of data collection(Watts, 2010).
Specifically lookup sites from as google scholar are specially helpful for learning
academic journals and articles available on the portal and which is written by the relevant
subject experts. A person who wants to gain lot of knowledge end expertise in self-
1

management, this is a big source to use the person to acquire knowledge and skill to
develop themselves in self-management.
1.2
Lifelong acquisition is the consistently acquisition process personally that could imparted
to the professional discourse(Vetere, and Stratton, 2016). An individual person could find it out
by its personal assessment. Life long learning is too important to be left to schools and
universities. Lifelong learning by evaluating their strength, weakness, opportunity and threats.
My most strength is good learning skill, friendly, curiosity to learn new things etc. and my
imperfectness is, I get troubled when I am tired but I tried to overcome from it by physical
exercises. A lifelong learner is someone who recognize the need for life long learning and is
highly motivated in order to engage in the process. It is an opportunity for substantive personal
interaction with others. Learning task is challenging for learner but it is also achievable new
things to learner which help to develop personal and professional things. Swot Analysis: Through measuring personal SWOT analysis, this will help me with my
personal and professional learning to use different tools which are self-reflection learning
and consistent profession development(Van Driel, and Berry, 2012 ). It's all about to
trying learn to review opinion, thought, judgment and personal and professional
understanding and actions that will help to accomplish career goal as well as to promote
my staff and motivated them that will support to my employee in their career
development and create a efficient organizational environment which will assist both for
my and my staff for life long learning to survive in the future more effectively and
efficiently.
1.3
 Individual Benefits: self management acquisition helps to build our relations with
variety of the ways to others(Van Driel, and Berry, 2012). Individual benefits include the
skill in which, what you have learned from the self-management learning, which can
improve your personal and professional skills to accomplish your goals and objectives as
well as promote your employee in the staff and help to promote their career in their
essential field. Ex: meeting challenges and objectives, self awareness, self-resilience and
knowing also how to learn and profess in their proffered sectors.
2

 Organizational benefits: In an organization, many types of training are given to the
employees, but some time they don't get the desired result from the learner(Throop, and
Castellucci, 2010). This happens because of lack of self-managed learning skills. Every
individual person in the organization are required to have proper deep knowledge of self-
managed erudition to growth of an organization. Self-managed learning is essential for
every employ in the firm to enhance their competency level and learn each aspects of
their works in the company. According to my experience, I always contribute to my staff
and employee with my best knowledge to achieve their aims and promote them to get
batter opportunities in their professional and personal career growth.

go for every class and remain will organize etc. but I was not able to follow with all these
