Skills for Work: Personal Development Planning
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Personal development planning is a Pearson Skills for Work unit in which learners identify their skills, strengths and areas for development, set goals, and produce and review a personal development plan, with a SWOT analysis at Level 1 and Level 2 and SMART actions at Level 2. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. The centre sets and marks the assignment. Literacy sits in explaining why planning matters, describing themselves, discussing goals, writing the plan and reflecting on feedback. Numeracy is light: timeframes, SMART targets, prioritising tasks and rating scales.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3): One assessment criterion at each of Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3, rising from stating simple facts about personal development and showing progress towards a goal given by the teacher (Entry 1), through planning towards an agreed goal (Entry 2), to setting goals and actions to improve own skills and working towards a basic plan with timelines (Entry 3). Assessed internally by the centre through a centre-devised assignment, with Pearson standards verification. 20 guided learning hours, graded Pass or Fail.
- Level 1 and Level 2: One assessment criterion at each level: learners describe (Level 1) or explain (Level 2) the role and importance of personal development and produce a personal development plan, with short- and mid-term goals and realistic timelines at Level 1, and short-, mid- and long-term goals with SMART actions at Level 2. The guidance adds a SWOT analysis and reviewing the plan. Assessed internally by the centre, with Pearson standards verification. 20 guided learning hours, graded Pass or Fail.
Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Cynrychioli data
-
Rating skills on scales in a skills audit
Pearson's mapping lists Likert and traffic light scales in skills audits and ordering tasks and milestones as numeracy links. Learners rate their skills and can compare ratings over time, but no criterion requires numerical ratings.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils rate ten skills red, amber or green and count how many of each colour they have.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils rate their skills on a 1 to 5 scale at the start and end of a half term and draw a bar chart comparing the two.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils compare their own skill ratings with ratings from a teacher, draw conclusions about which skills to develop, and note why self ratings can mislead.

Rwy'n gallu cynrychioli data gan ddefnyddio:
- rhestrau, siartiau cyfrif, tablau, diagramau a thablau amlder
- siartiau bar, siartiau data wedi'u grwpio, graffiau llinell a graffiau trawsnewid
- pictogramau lle mae un symbol yn cynrychioli mwy nag un uned gan ddefnyddio allwedd
- diagramau Venn a Carroll.
Rwy'n gallu dod i gasgliadau o ddata ac rwy'n cydnabod y gall rhai casgliadau fod yn gamarweiniol neu'n ansicr.

Da gwybod
- The unit is SfW 2 and is worth 20 guided learning hours (Unit summary, page 5), the same size as the WJEC unit. A unit counts once: "Learners can only achieve each unit once, at a single level" (Rules of Combination, page 6).
- The command verbs set the literacy level: Entry 1 learners "State", Entry 2 "Outline", Entry 3 "Identify", Level 1 "Describe" and Level 2 "Explain" the role and importance of personal development (assessment criteria, page 16).
- The guidance sets minimum amounts, such as at Level 1 describing "at least three of each" of skills, strengths and areas for development and "at least two resources and two people" needed for the goals (page 18).
- Discussion is expected from Level 1: learners "should be able to discuss their skills with others" (Essential information for assessment decisions, Level 1, page 18), so spoken evidence such as observation records is useful.
- Pearson's own mapping gives literacy as "Reflective discussion and written plans" and numeracy as SMART goals, timelines and rating scales in audits (Annexe C, page 118).
- AI must be acknowledged: "If AI is used, the final submission must be in the learner's own words" (Requirements relating to permitted/prohibited resources, page 21).
- Document slips: this Skills for Work specification says "Every unit in our Skills for Life qualifications includes an Authorised Assessment Brief" (page 8), and the units section points to "Section 6 Glossary" when the glossary is Section 7 (page 11).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Personal development planning links with the WJEC Skills Suite units Exploring career pathways and Career creativity, which share writing about own strengths and interests and planning steps towards a future job, and with Overcoming barriers, Building a growth mindset and Work experience, which share reflective writing and reviewing progress. GCSE Business, which the WJEC version of this unit names as a linked qualification, is the closest GCSE link. Compared with the WJEC Personal development planning unit, both are 20 guided learning hours with SMART goals at Level 2, but WJEC spreads the writing across four learning outcomes including responding to feedback, while Pearson centres on one written personal development plan, adds a SWOT analysis at Level 1 and Level 2, and expects learners to discuss their skills and goals with others.
