Measuring My ain Role and Responsibilities in Lifelong Learning To measure my ain function and duties as an assessor I need to be honest with myself every bit good as brave. I have a good apprehension of my function and duties. but to better I need to go a brooding practician which can merely be achieved if I am prepared to measure my ain public presentation [ Petty. G pg 527 ] . By utilizing Kolb’s larning manner theoretical account. I realise it’s utile constructs can assist me understand how my larning behavior can assist others to larn. My function is to pass on efficaciously with the scholars. but do I? Recently I was assisting a scholar prepare for his functional accomplishments composing appraisal. I explained to him how to layout a missive. which side your reference goes on which side the recipient’s goes on etc. After the appraisal I was informed he had put his reference on the incorrect side at the top of the page. Did he non hear what I said?

Did he bury?
Easy to fault the scholar. but did I explain good plenty and what did I do to corroborate his understanding? Poor public presentation is sensitive capable. but if I’m non prepared to confront up to my failures so I can’t anticipate my successes to be acknowledged either. [ Petty. G Pg518 ] So I have concrete experience of lending to a scholar fring Markss on his appraisal. Now I need to reflect on the experience and believe how effectual was my instruction. evidently non good in some countries but his salutations. layout. construction and stoping were good so I was effectual in other countries. At this phase of abstract conceptualization. I ask myself why was I good and effectual in some countries. and non in others. Here I think about the methods I used. and do I necessitate more inquiry to corroborate understanding. possibly some merriment activities. This is when the concluding phase of the rhythm kicks in. it’s when I plan active experimentation.

Here I decide how I can make things otherwise. what new methods shall I seek that will bring forth improved consequences. and possibly take that courageous measure into the unknown with new stuff. Bing self critical is non plenty though. it’s my duty to acquire direct and indirect feedback when I can. learner questionnaires. college observations besides indirect feedback can be merely as effectual. this can be collected during preparation or appraisal through observation. Possibly scholars are non engaged. doing no oculus contact. separate conversations transporting on the schoolroom. all good feedback. I use my CPD records to detail my development.

Today I was observed and my booklets were quality checked by our Internal Quality Assurer. who besides spoke with scholars and gave me verbal and written feedback. IQA records I keep a long with proceedingss and inside informations from our standardization meetings. where we have the chance to intercede with other trainers. instructors and thin practicians. I keep all Individual Learner Plan where records of initial appraisal are recorded. where any needful support has been identified and inside informations of planned and existent reappraisals are written.
