CORE SKILLS ENHANCEMENT CIRCLE
• Core skills looks at things that people are able to do and which are
highly transferable including knowledge, values and technical things.
• A core skills graduate must be globally aware, confident, critical,
creative, innovative, generates ideas, learns from mistakes, shows
initiative, communicates well, listens & reflects, and gets on well with
others
My Expected Learning Outcomes were;
Two Useful tools to explore particular skill steps in greater depth, and to understand how they can be taught & assessed, you can use;
1. Skills Builder Interactive Framework: This is freely available at www.skillsbuilder.org/framework
2. Skills Builder Hub: This has more teaching resources available at: www.skillsbuilder.org/hub
Why Core Skills: Deep Vs Surface Learning
• Deep Learning
This is a committed approach to learning where the learner uses higher
order cognitive skills to master academic content, work collaboratively and
think and interact critically and actively with the content being learned.
While;
• Surface Learning
This is where learners tend to avoid the hard work and instead rely on single
sources of information to simply learn what has been asked of them only.
In this type of learning learners concentrate only on what is expected to be
assessed.

mentimeter, etc because

networks
