Skills for Life: Understanding Self and Others
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Understanding Self and Others is a Skills for Life unit on emotions, identity, diversity and positive relationships. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. Literacy demand is medium and mostly spoken: learners name and describe feelings, describe and analyse their identity, discuss differences respectfully, and show communication, active listening and conflict resolution in pairs and groups. Extended writing is not required. Numeracy demand is low because no criterion, amplification point or suggested activity involves number, measurement or data.

Listening actively and communicating in pairs and groups
Entry learners show positive social behaviour, follow a basic instruction and take part in a social interaction, responding appropriately. Level 1 learners demonstrate effective communication skills in a group or pair activity, and Level 2 learners apply effective communication and empathy in a range of social situations. This is required and is usually evidenced by observation records, peer feedback or video.

Discussing differences, diversity and stereotypes respectfully
Entry 3 learners suggest differences respectfully and without judgement, Level 1 learners describe why diversity is important in relationships and communities, and Level 2 learners explain the value of differences within diverse groups and analyse how stereotypes or assumptions may affect interactions. The criteria are required; case studies and structured debates are suggested ways to build the discussion and reading.

Talking through conflict and misunderstandings
Level 1 learners outline strategies for resolving simple conflicts or misunderstandings and Level 2 learners use appropriate strategies to manage conflict and maintain positive relationships, for example when disagreeing over roles in a group task. This is required. Learners listen to both sides, explain their own view calmly and agree a way forward, often shown through role-play.

Da gwybod
- The unit codes are S627E1, S627E2, S627E3, S627L1 and S627L2, and the overview lists "GLH 20" (Unit overview, page 3).
- Spoken work counts: "evidence may be verbal, written, practical or visual, extended written work is not required unless appropriate" (Sources of evidence, page 10).
- Spelling is not judged: "Assessor judgements should focus on meeting the standard, not spelling or presentation unless specifically assessed" (Sources of evidence, page 10).
- Support varies by level: Entry 1 learners may need "use of symbols, or assistive technology" and Entry 2 learners may use "scaffolded templates" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.2, page 19).
- The pack says Languages, literacy and communication is supported "through structured conversations, active listening and opportunities to express thoughts and feelings clearly and respectfully" (Unit overview, page 4), although Appendix A of the specification ticks neither Literacy nor Numeracy for this unit (page 28).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory", and teachers may adapt them or devise their own (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools may be used only if acknowledged: when properly referenced AI use "can be acceptable", but "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information" counts as malpractice (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.6, page 21).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The pack names GCSE Social Studies as a linked WJEC qualification, along with AS and A level Psychology; discussing diversity, stereotypes and identity builds the explaining and analysing Social Studies asks for. Talking about feelings, listening actively and discussing other viewpoints with respect build the spoken language skills of GCSE English Language and Literature, and communication and empathy also link with GCSE Health and Social Care and Childcare. Role-play of social situations and conflict links with GCSE Drama. Within the Skills Suite the pack names Values for life, Ethical choices, Looking after others, Teamwork, Equality, diversity and inclusion, and Personal development planning as closely related units.
