5.2 Assessing your skills
Reflective practice is very important: it is something that should be (or become) second nature to you in your work. To allow you to record your progress through the course, you will have access to a personal reflective blog space where you can note your thoughts and reflections about your learning. This is personal to you, and nobody else can see it, so you can be as honest as you like! You will be prompted to make an entry in your blog at the end of each module. Each time you will be asked to make notes on the following:
- What is the single most important lesson that you have taken away from this module?
- How relevant is it to your work?
- Can you suggest ways in which this new knowledge can benefit your practice?
Now complete the questions below, which assess your confidence about various aspects of AMR. When you have finished, go to your reflective blog [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] and start to note down your thoughts
Activity 7: Assessing your skills
You are going to use the scale below to rate your confidence in your current skills and attributes against the areas and/or skills relevant to your work with AMR that you identified in Activity 6.
Begin by adding these skills to the boxes on the left-hand side and then use the interactive tool to rate yourself for each of them. We have included some skills and knowledge that you might like to think about to help you get started. The ratings are:
- 5 Very confident
- 4 Confident
- 3 Neither confident nor not confident
- 2 Not very confident
- 1 Not at all confident
Try to use the full range of ratings shown above to rate yourself.
Do not worry if you do not feel very confident in some skills. No one can be confident about every area of knowledge – particularly when knowledge is progressing rapidly as it is with AMR. There will be areas that you are hoping to develop by studying these modules.
