Unit 1 M3
Produce a short evaluation in which you explain how different learning styles can aid personal development. Use examples from your own experience when using different learning styles throughout the completion of your personal development training. You will need to carry out a small amount of research into learning styles in order to complete this task. M3
Task 6 - M3
There is three main styles of learning that people can use, the first is visual, the second is auditory, and the last is kinaesthetic. Not all people have a learning style that is preferred to them, and some people use a mixture of 2 or 3.
Visual
A visual learner is someone who finds it easiest to learn through looking at things like picture, diagrams, tables, hand-outs and films. If they watch someone demonstrate a task before they have to do it, it is easier for them to follow. Using instructions also helps them be able to complete the task at hand.
I personally learn better this way because I feel if it demonstrated in front of me, and I see it working the right way I will follow the demonstration and get it right the first time.
Auditory
An auditory learner is someone who finds it easier to remember instructions from somebody speaking to them telling them what they need to do. They can remember the information they have been told and can carry out a task . I don't learn well this way, as I need visual confirmation on how to achieve something. I'm not a very good listener, so I could easily not listen and miss a lot of the audio.
Kinaesthetic
A kinaesthetic learner is someone who finds it easier by touching, feeling, doing and holding things. They find it much easier to learn by trying things out and learning as they go along. I do not learn well this way because I do not feel the need to touch and feel the equipment provided for the task ahead.
Conclusion
I learn best by visual demonstration because it is the easiest way in my eyes. Having it demonstration in front of me is easier because I can see for myself that it works and if I do it the same way it will work.

Unit 1 D1
D1:
Following the recruitment evening you and your colleagues are going to analyse interpersonal and written communications, criticizing and justifying particular techniques used. Discuss with your peers the different interpersonal and written communication skills used during this project. Then write an individual report that analyses the discussed interpersonal and written communications criticizing and justifying the different techniques used.
Verbal Communication
I spoke to Mr. Sumpter about this piece of work, as i was unsure of what to do for it. This helped me because I had no idea from the task being explained online. This means that I like talking one on one so someone can explain it to me in a way I understand best.
The good point of verbal communication is that you can tell them exactly what is wrong and what you need explaining, and they can tell you what you need to do to correct it.
The bad thing about verbal communication is that some people can misinterpret the criticism and make the work even worse.
Teacher broadcasting demonstration
Teacher broadcasting does work well with me, but sometimes I will need to ask for help and need to be shown again rather than struggle for a few lessons.
The good points of teacher broadcast is so they can explain while doing a demonstration to the whole class, and then answer questions all at once so they can be clear on what to do and move on for the next lesson.
Using Blogger
Using Blogger is not as good as using the first two ways of communications. As it is on the computer, you get one way of an explanation, and if you don’t understand it, then you have to disturb one of your piers or your teacher to get an explanation you do understand.
Blogger, however, is a good way to get feedback on your work. If all you need to do is add or correct small things such as a spelling mistake or a number, then all you need to do is re-upload the work with the correction on it.
Blogger is good because you can use it to find work and complete it outside of school as it is all listed on the website.
Using Gmail
You could use Gmail as a way of contacting those outside of school for help with the work if you become stuck. You could email your tutor or you could email one of your classmates. This works as you are asking for help while others are probably completing pieces of work already. This is also a convenience because you can compare work outside of school when your friends have their work sorted out and completed.
