The Wider Key Skills

The broad aim of the specifications for the three Key Skills units available at the Temple Gate Dojo is to develop candidates’ ability to:1. plan and organise activities (individually or with others);
2. use different methods of working and learning to achieve objectives/targets;
3. review progress and decide on how to improve performance.
There are clear differences between the units:

* Improving Own Learning and Performance focuses on the ability of the individual to work towards the achievement of personal, learning and/or career targets for the purpose of improving the quality of their own learning and performance, and developing as an independent learner.

* Working with Others focuses on the ability of the individual to meet own responsibilities and work cooperatively in a pair or group of people for the purpose of achieving shared objectives.

* Problem solving focuses on the ability of the individual to tackle problems systematically, for the purpose of working towards their solution and learning from this process.
