Skills for Life: Sustainability In Action
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Sustainability in action (Unit SfL 25) is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Life Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. Learners find out about sustainability practices and, from Level 1, the three pillars of sustainability and relevant legislation, using local, national and at Level 2 international examples, then plan and take part in a sustainability activity. The centre sets and marks the assignment. Literacy carries the unit: reading about examples and legislation, describing or explaining principles, and contributing to a written plan. Numeracy is light: Pearson names measuring resources and estimating quantities, but no criterion requires calculation.

Describing and explaining principles of sustainability

Da gwybod
- The unit is Unit SfL 25 and the unit summary lists it at 20 GLH ("SfL 25 Sustainability in action 20", Unit summary, page 5); it counts towards Skills for Life qualifications numbered C00/5443/4 to C00/5445/0 (Qualification titles, pages 3 to 4).
- A unit is achieved once, at one level: "Learners can only achieve each unit once, at a single level" (Rules of Combination, page 6).
- Written work is not compulsory: "there are no mandatory evidence requirements and centres can select the type of evidence" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 117), and assignments "can include both practical and written tasks" (Assessment of units, page 9).
- Learners can be assessed in Welsh or English: "Learners can be assessed in Welsh or English" (Language of assessment, page 8).
- The compulsory teaching content is in a separate document: "This can be found in the T Teaching and Learning Support document for this unit" (Unit content, page 117). The stray "T" is a typing slip.
- AI may be used only if acknowledged: "the final submission must be in the learner's own words and reflect their own effort" (Requirements relating to permitted/prohibited resources, page 118).
- The specification is inconsistent on size: the unit summary gives 20 GLH, but worked Example 7 lists "Unit SfL 25 10" (Understanding the qualification grade, page 148).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Describing the three pillars of sustainability and reading about legislation such as the Well-being of Future Generations Act, which Pearson's Annexe E names, reinforce GCSE Geography and GCSE Social Studies and the WJEC Foundation in Humanities; writing and explaining in organised paragraphs supports GCSE English Language and Literature. Within the WJEC Skills Suite it overlaps with Sustainable Economic Development and Skills in the Natural Environment. Compared with the WJEC Sustainability in Action unit, which asks learners to keep and review a record of sustainable actions over time, the Pearson unit puts more weight on describing principles and legislation and has no required record, so its numeracy is lighter.
