 P4 Demonstrate a range of effective interpersonal skills



Hi, I'm George and I'm 20 years old. I came from Romania three years ago to study ICT for a better future. I'm a well-motivated and energetic individual who possesses good interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate effectively on all levels within an organisation. Can participate effectively into teamwork and use own initiative when required. A flexible individual who enjoys the challenges of meeting deadlines and targets.

The reason that i chose to study ICT is because from when i had an attraction for computer. This was starting by fixing hardware components then I developed my skills by installing programs such as operating systems, utilities, anti virus etc. I chose to go on this path for my future because i enjoy doing this everyday at anytime so if I keep doing my work I will achieve my goal. After i finish level 3 I will continue to study ICT at University and then this hopefully will make me more determined to find a good job with lots of money!

P8 Follow a personal development plan

For P7 I had the same printscreen with my targets for college.

We had to upgrade this plan very often and this is good because you can keep on track with what you have to do and also the tutors can see at what stage you are with their assignemnts. I'm doing good with some tutors and with others I am trying to get pass to can succed to next year.

Interpersonal and Written communication techniques

 

Written communication skills:

 In my assignments I had used different techniques to communicate with other tutors and students such :

 

-Email - We had to use email at the start of the course to submit the assignments and to keep in touch with tutors. Then they have created 3D learning which is more efficient because you have all the units specification and gradebook in one place. Email is a good way to get in touch with tutors or students because this is the fastest way to reach them. Also is important because you can sent to tutors electronic files such as documents for assignments, a spread sheet

 

-Written communication - grammar and spelling are very important for all the work that I produce because if you don't use the right terminology the work will make no sense. Often after I finish assignments I ask some people to proofread my work because this is the best way to find errors that you personal will might not be able to found.

 

-Face to face communication - I'm using face to face communication every day with students talking about different subject or class work and also with tutors about what I have to fix for my assignments.

 Body language the opportunity to watch body language to another person is the benefit of face to face communication. You can assess the other person tone of voice, eye contact and gestures.I'm using body language on a face to face communication when I have to present something to an audience because this makes you get people confidence and make him believe that is right what you are tyring to explain

 

Interpersonal skills:

 

A good example of interpersonal skills is positive language. For example when I receive feedback from my tutor I always take it as a positive feedback because I have to agree that is not correct and that I need to improve the assignment. Another intrepersonal skills could be listening skills and this is happen when we interpret both verval and no verbal messages sent by another person.

M3 Explain how an awarness of learning style can aid personal development

What learning styles are and why they are important?

There are four different styles of learning :  

Auditory learners will prefer to listen to things being explained than read about them. Other noises may become a distraction so they need a relatively quiet place. Visual learners prefer to learn by looking at graphics or charts but they may have difficulties focusing while listening to explanation .Kinaesthetic learners process information best buy using tools and doing practical. Sitting still while studying may be difficult but writhing things down makes it easier to understand.

What is VAK?

The VAK learning style is a combination between three methods of sensory learning:

-Visual (sight);

-Auditory (sound);

-Kinaesthetic (touch or motion).

What is VARK?

Designed to describe how four distinct types of learners process information. VARK stands from (Visual, Auditory, Read and Kinaesthetic).

When I am studing I'm trying to make my self confortable I also use diffrent colors to highlight the important bulet points that I have to take in consideration.

One of the activities was to do the Hawaii Questionnaire to find out what type of learn I am.

Scoring after the Hawaii Questionnaire: 33 point Visual Preference.

After I finished the Hawaii Questionnaire I score 33 point and they matched my score with a visual style of student. I agree with the result but I think sometimes I’m a bit a tactile student because we studying ICT so sometimes I rather tacking notes on my computer then looking at graphs.
