INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to reflect the process that I have witnessed in my learning
process, which explains what I have learned and done to help me improve. being with my
mentor it will help me, as an IT expert i will put it into practice.
chance to talk, you see them crossing their arms or legs, it might be a good time for you to
apologize. However, sometimes it's instinct. If men look into your eyes, they seem to like you.
Simple touch gestures are another sign that you are interested in them.
Communication is considered one of the most important soft skills in modern times.
Not only do bridges bridge the relationship between people, but communication skills are also
key to driving success in all areas.
term memory, you will be Supported by infinite instructions, websites and tools will help you
remember important information.
Scientific method: The problems of coding may seem endless, difficult and
impossible to start. It is a place that uses scientific methods to break down obstacles and
projects themselves can become extremely useful. In most jobs, you develop and learn many
ways to solve problems in the first year or longer, then apply them from there, occasionally
developing new solutions.
Try to: Provide as much detail upfront as possible. Give them clear
expectations and space to work independently. Expect them to push back on
data (to understand where it came from) and double-check information before
making a decision
Avoid: Responding to them in an overly emotional way (i.e. use “I know” or “I
think” rather than “I feel”) Framing feedback on their work as criticism
b. Intuitive
Intuitive communicators love the big picture and hate details. They don’t want to hear
things explained in linear or logical order but would rather get an overview and jump straight
into the most important parts.
Benefits: Not getting bogged down in the details means being ok with short and to-
the-point communication. It also means that you’re comfortable with thinking big, looking for
out-of-the-box solutions, and challenging conventions.
Downsides: When the details matter, however, someone with an intuitive
communication style might not have the patience to get through it. They might zone out and
miss important points or ignore nuances. Typically, intuitive communications have the hardest
time working with people who are more process-driven and methodical—the “Functional
communicators”.
Try to:
Get into business right away and avoid straying from the main topic.
Be okay with and expect decisiveness and bluntness in responses.
Be prepared to answer follow-up questions with confidence.
Avoid:
Trying to make a business conversation into a personal one.
Taking their attitude and approach personally. They’re just more interested in
the facts and moving forward that how it sounds.
Making promises you can’t deliver on.
c. Functional
Functional communicators are the opposite of intuitive ones. They live for processes,
details, timelines, and well-thought-through plans. When talking about a project or explaining
an idea, they want to go through all the details, step-by-step so nothing gets missed.
Benefits: Most team leads love functional communicators. They want to see that
everything is being thought of and no small detail is missed. And because these
communicators are obsessed with the nitty-gritty, they’re able to play Devil’s Advocate and
look at all of the options before moving on.
Try to:
Practice “active” listening—confirm and respond to what they say and ask
follow-up questions to show that you understand the plan.
Expect them to ask for details or go into “what if?” mode.
Avoid:
Rushing them into making decisions.
Assuming they support an idea or strategy 100% just because they’re not
pushing back on the big idea.
d. Personal
For people with a personal communication style, talking is all about emotion and
connection. They don’t want to dig into details or data but rather learn about the person and
how they think. As such, they’re pretty good at smoothing over difficult situations and
playing diplomat.
Benefits: Taking a more personal approach to communication helps to build better,
deeper relationships with others. If this is you, your teammates will see you as a confidante or
the “glue” that holds everything together. And because you’re so tuned into the rest of your
team, you’re able to see beyond just language and pick up on non-verbal cues that others miss
(like body language and tone).
Suspend your biases. This means everything from the topic to the speaker’s
appearance, accent, or prior actions.
Quiet your mind by focusing on what’s being said instead of thinking about
your response. One great way to do this is to summarize and repeat what the
other person is saying back to them. This not only helps show them you’re
truly listening to them but also helps you focus on what’s being said.
Encourage the speaker to continue sharing information by asking open-ended
questions.
Observe:
Before you can effectively contribute to a conversation you need to know who your
audience is. The first part of this is understanding their communication style (which we talked
about above). But there are plenty of other ways you can find out more about what makes
these people tick.
Body position: Are they angled towards or away from you? Physically being
aligned with someone is usually a sign of openness and trust.
Arms: Are their arms crossed or open? Crossed arms can be a sign of
discomfort or even aggression.
Facial expression: Are they smiling? It’s basic, but we’ve all been in situations
where someone’s facial expression doesn’t match what they’re saying.
Eye contact: Are they looking at you or away? While this might vary
culturally, in places like the US, making direct eye contact can be perceived as
a sign of trustworthiness.
Organize:
The language you use and the structure of your statements can change their meaning
without you realizing it. Words have a connotative meaning (what that word makes
someone feel) as well as a literal one (the dictionary definition). For example, just think of
the difference between calling a dog “man’s best friend” versus a “mongrel”.
Researching Skills: Defining and solving problems often requires you to do some
research: this may be a simple Google search or a more rigorous research project. See
our Research Methods section for ideas on how to conduct effective research.
Team Working: Many problems are best defined and solved with the input of other
people. Team working may sound like a 'work thing' but it is just as important at home
and school as well as in the workplace. See our Team-Working page for more.
Emotional Intelligence: It is worth considering the impact that a problem and/or its
solution has on you and other people. Emotional intelligence, the ability to recognize
the emotions of yourself and others, will help guide you to an appropriate solution.
See our Emotional Intelligence pages for more.
Risk Management: Solving a problem involves a certain amount of risk - this risk
needs to be weighed up against not solving the problem. You may find our Risk
Management page useful.
Decision Making: Problem solving and decision making are closely related skills, and
making a decision is an important part of the problem solving process as you will
often be faced with various options and alternatives. See Decision Making for more.
Example Try to formulate question: Say that as a student you have very little money
and want to find an effective solution. What is at issue? Is it one of income – are you not
making enough money? Is it one of over-spending? Or perhaps you have run into unexpected
expenses or your financial situation has changed?
Define your objective: State your aim as another means to reach the nature of the
problem. What is it that you want to achieve? What is it that you want to discover? Keep in
mind that you will have to account for the problem’s knowns and unknowns and figure out
where to find data that will help you reach your goal.
Example say that your problem is still money: What is your goal? Perhaps you never
have enough to go out on the weekend and have fun at the movies or a club. You decide that
your goal is to have more spending cash. Good! With a clear goal, you have better defined the
problem.
Gather information systematically: Along with defining your problem and goal, you
should gather as many facts as you can about the problem in order to get a clear picture of it.
Collect data, ask people or experts connected to the problem, look for resources online, in
print, or elsewhere. Once you have data, organize it. Try to do this by rewording, condensing,
or summarize it. Perhaps you could even map it out in a chart. You may not need to bother
with this step for simple problems, but it will be essential for those of a more complex nature.
Example to solve your money shortage: you would want to get as detailed a picture of
your financial situation as possible. Collect data through your latest bank statements and to
talk to a bank teller. Track your earnings and spending habits in a notebook, and then create a
spreadsheet or chart to show your income alongside your expenditures.
I.6.4 Planning
Analyze information: The first step in finding a solution is to look at data that you
have gathered about the problem and to analyze its importance. When you analyze, you will
look for links and relationships in the hope of better understanding the overall situation. Start
with the raw data. Sometimes, information will need to be broken into smaller, more
manageable parts or to be ranked for its importance or relevance. Things like charts, graphs,
or cause-and-effect models are helpful tools to do this.
Example say you have now collected all your bank statements: Look at them. When,
how, and from where is your money coming? Where, when, and how are you spending it?
What is the overall pattern of your finances? Do you have a net surplus or deficit? Are there
any unexplained items?
Generate possible solutions: Say you have looked at your data and found that you have a net
deficit of funds – that is, you are spending more than you are taking in. The next step is to
generate a range of potential solutions. You do not need to assess them now. Try
brainstorming, for example, or reverse brainstorming. This involved asking yourself, “how
could I possibly cause the problem?”
Your problem is a lack of money. Your goal is to have more spending cash. What are
your options? Without evaluating them, come up with possible options. Perhaps you can
acquire more money by getting a part-time job or by taking out a student loan. On the other
hand, you might try to save by cutting your spending or by lowering other costs.
student loan just to have fun on the weekend? Can you spare time from your
studies to work part-time?
Each solution will produce its own set of circumstances that need evaluation.
Run projections. Your money problem will require you to draw up budgets.
But it will also take personal consideration. For example, can you cut back on
basic things like food or housing? Are you willing to prioritize money over
school or to take on debt?
Review and evaluate the outcome: Now that you have implemented a solution, you will have
to monitor and review the results. Ask yourself if the solution is working. Does it allow you to
achieve your goal? Are there any unforeseen new problems? Review the problem and your
problem-solving process.[10]
The results of your trial are mixed: On one hand, you have saved enough
during the month for fun weekend activities. But there are new problems. You
find that you must choose between spending cash and buying basics like food.
You also need a new pair of shoes but can’t afford it, according to your budget.
You may need to a different solution.
Adjust if necessary: Keep in mind that problem-solving works in a cycle. It will generate a
number of different potential solutions that each must be evaluated. If you fix the problem,
you have found a suitable solution. If not, then you must look for an alternative solution and
start the process over again. Reconsider your initial solution and adjust if it is not working.
Try another solution, implement it, and review the outcome. Repeat this process until you
finally solve the problem.
After a month, you decide to abandon your first budget and to look for part-
time work. You find a work-study job on campus. Making a new budget, you
now have extra money without taking too much time away from your studies.
You may have an effective solution.
II. The importance and dynamics of working within a team and the impact of
team working in different environments
II.1 What are the conditions for maintaining group work?
Group work is a great opportunity to analyze, discuss and explore ideas with fellow
students making it an increasingly significant part of many degrees
It allows you to develop key transferable skills such as teamwork, organization,
communication, leadership and problem solving. In addition to this it can be extremely
beneficial to both your academic performance and long-term personal development,
particularly as the ability to work well with others is a key requirement for many graduate
jobs.
A. Set clear goals:
At the start of any team project, you should spend your first meeting agreeing on
specific targets and setting some ground rules.
Sonia Hood, study adviser at the University of Reading, recommends that you decide
how often you'll meet, how you'll communicate with each other and how the group will be
led. 'This way, everyone is clear about what is expected of them,' she explains.
You should also ensure that all team members have a shared understanding of the
project. 'Discuss how you can best divide the task up to work to the advantage of everyone
within the group,' says Sonia.
B. Ensure everyone contributes:
All members of the group should strive to create a supportive atmosphere that allows
everyone to feel comfortable expressing their thoughts without the threat of being dismissed,
ridiculed or ignored.
While some people are naturally confident in group work situations, others may
initially find putting their points forward challenging.
'You may need to ask some quieter individuals directly if they have anything to add,'
Sonia advises. 'The group will benefit from hearing everyone's opinion and others may have
valuable insight that you have not considered.'
Not everyone strives to be a leader or is able to quickly generate ideas. Indeed, the
best teams have a balanced mix of individuals whose contributions complement one another.
The University of Kent identifies seven roles that people can play in group meetings:
Compromiser - Attempts to maintain harmony and rapport among all team
members by encouraging others, and recognising and resolving any differences
of opinion.
Encourager - Energises the team through humour or enthusiasm, suggesting
ideas and confronting any problems.
Evaluator - Offers critical analysis of all options before coming to an
informed decision.
Ideas person - Suggests original and potentially radical new ways to organize
the task or solve problems.
Leader - Ensures the group remains on-task, coordinating resources, assigning
tasks and driving members to achieve a positive end result.
Recorder - Keeps the group focused and organized through timekeeping and
note-taking, ensuring that every member understands their individual
responsibilities.
Summarizer - Clarifies objectives and elaborates on others' ideas, wrapping
up the group's discussion and conclusions.
C. Avoid negativity
Unless you want to seriously jeopardize your chances of success, some behaviors
should be avoided at all costs. You'll find that your task can quickly go off the rails if even
just one participant:
becomes overly aggressive
displays unhappiness with any decisions made
disrespects others and criticize their ideas without suggesting alternatives
distracts focus by acting the clown
fails to contribute
listens too little and interrupts others when they're talking
talks too much and dominates the discussion.
While disagreements are inevitable, it's important not to make things personal. 'Try to
ensure that discussion and disagreements are focused on the task in hand,' Sonia advises.
'If you have an issue with the level of commitment of certain members, speak to them
individually and check there's not something else going on that they may need your support
with.'
In the process of arguing with the Traffic Police, we pay attention to using appropriate
pronouns, calm, calm, not twisted. For example, with an older traffic police use me - uncle,
brother / sister - uncle, brother / sister or me - brother ...; with traffic police of the same age or
older than me - him; with the elderly, happy, emotional, I use you - brother, grandson -
uncle ....
If the traffic police have not offered the correct command, please ask the traffic police
to greet when it is correct to work!
We should keep in mind that always recording and recording in full to make evidence
of accusations and complaints when the traffic police make a mistake or as evidence to protect
themselves when the traffic police slander, or fake traffic police with papers but then told do
not hold. If detecting traffic police smell of beer, wine, we are determined not to work.
II.4 The need for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and its role within
the workplace and for higher level learning:
II.4.1 What's the use of studying?
There are many levels of learning goals. Study to prepare for life. Learning to survive.
Learning to make a living. Learning to adapt and develop. Learn to improve yourself. Learn
to help.
One is that life is ever-changing (especially in this era). If we don't study, we will fall
back and stay out of the flow of life. How many occupations that used to be so easy and
"make money" now become difficult and even disappear. For example, photographic career in
landscapes. In the past, just buying the camera, the kit and learning a bit could make money.
Today, when the digital camera boom, smartphones are captured easily and beautifully, the
job is difficult right away, and if you want to make money, you must know what to do with
normal cameras. That is to learn, to explore, to be creative.
Second, there are many ways to be successful in life. Each person will choose his or
her own path and path. Whether we can travel far depends not only on the time of departure
but also on the speed and acceleration of the motion. Velocity is what we have, and
acceleration is due to learning. Abraham Lincoln famously said, "If I give 6 hours to lower a
tree, I will use the first 4 hours to sharpen the ax." Grinding an ax here means learning.
Thirdly, people do not perfect from the moment of birth. Life is essentially a process
for perfecting oneself. Always listening, always learning, never being satisfied, that's the best
way to improve yourself. "The three companions must belong to the peaceful monk". Of the 3
people who are going to go there must be a teacher. The statement is a bit graphic but very
true.
Ultimately, the pinnacle of life meaning is helpful. No need to get a higher education
to help. Anyone can help, just have the heart to help. But in order for the real benefit to be of
great significance and effectiveness, it is necessary to learn. And that pair of prerequisites. For
example, swimming is not difficult to save yourself, but to be able to save people, they must
learn to swim very well and learn skills to save people, otherwise it will not only save people
but also endanger themselves.
Who are your mentors in class? Who are the ones who are assisting others and guiding
their peers? These students can impart valuable lessons of learning ownership and knowledge
sharing to others. Such pupils can be an inspiration for many.
e. Find time to play
Any theatre actor will tell you why a play is called a play. It's because onstage, playing
is exactly what you do. In doing so, you learn about yourself and others. You learn
communication, comprehension, and unique social skills as you bring stories alive to teach
others. The experience is enjoyable to both you and to those watching.
As teachers, we must always treat mistakes as opportunities, and never as crimes.
Play is an important part of learning. It's essential that learning is fun and enjoyable.
Otherwise, the learner will resist it. They will associate it with unpleasant intellectual and
emotional feelings, instead of the joys of discovery and personal growth. We must ensure our
kids never see learning as a chore, but rather as the bold adventure it was meant to be.
f. Set learning goals
Since learning should have a purpose, this means having the end clearly in mind.
There must be a valid and worthwhile reason for learning. To have any value, it must be a
meaningful and useful experience we can move forward with in our lives. This is especially
true for our learners. Goal setting is one of those lifelong learning skills that strengthens the
desire to learn.
