Personal and Professional Learning

In this unit you are introduced to the concept of personal and professional learning and you will question, investigate and actively reflect on your learning experiences. In addition you will theorise your own and others' learning experiences in the light of your study of contemporary learning theories. You are encouraged to connect your own experiences with recent developments in education, and within a global context, and ask questions such as: Who am I and how do I learn? What is it like to be a learner? What is happening in the world and how does this influence learning? You will engage in academic writing for university settings, learn about referencing conventions and will familiarise yourselves with library resources. Finally you will evaluate your own literacy and numeracy skills, knowledge and understandings and commence planning to address your learning in these areas.
