What Is The Heutagogical Approach

I can ensure that my personal knowledge and skills meet the required standard, by having an understanding of what is required to be competent with the standards. Competency is said to be still equated or defined as skills, ability to perform, capacity, and knowledge (Executive Brief 2008 Projectsmart). As such, the term has been used loosely. While it does not really matter much when used casually to mean ones physical and mental abilities, it does matter when used in such areas as a job assessment to describe job requirements and performance standards.

4. Made by a person with legal capacity - Competency is “the ability to perform a job.” In normal conditions this part mentions to an adult of complete mind who is able to pass the three tests defined above. Those considered not legally capable would include minors, and those who are so physiologically or psychologically troubled, they do not validate the ability to make informed judgements(Steer,

Students develop their general capabilities while participating in daily learning activities. Over time the general capabilities will support and enrich learning experiences and help bring a deeper understanding of subject matter.

Employability skills means a group of essential abilities that involve the development of a knowledge base, expertise level and mind-set that is increasingly necessary for success in the modern workplace.

Documented in an employee survey (2012) conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employees (NACE) the belief by many of the employers surveyed set a number of employee competencies they felt were essential. The findings resulted in a list of capabilities they felt were needed in order to proficiently desired by organizations. Effective verbal articulation within and outside of the organization’s structure, a team player that will a readily work with others, an administrator and convergent thinker, obtain and process data, while planning, organizing, and prioritizing work.

Competence is one of the elements that constitute one's credibility. To define, competence is a term that refers to an individual's knowledge or skill set which enables or qualifies the individual

Skill: This means the skills that are required for the job, not what skills the individual employee has.

Ability refers to an individual's ability to play out the different tasks in an occupation. It is current assessment of what one can do. An individual's overall capacities are basically comprised of two sets of factors: intellectual and physical abilities (Managementconsultingcourses, 2016). Since Stella’s is not adequate enough to do work given to her because she does not use her intellectual ability to control herself and perform well at work. She is not using her physical strength to come to work but she takes sick leaves.

I composed numerous plans for each competency addressed in order to achieve mastery of that particular competency. In regards to the first competency addressed, Standard 3: Instructional Delivery, I planned to make sure I differentiated in all my classes in a variety of ways. One way I planned to differentiate is by ability. Teachers do not have any control over the students that walk thru our door on the first day of school. No matter where they fall academically, we have to build them up to greater heights of achievement. By differentiating in a variety of ways and settings, I am able to help students improve to greater heights of ability, and meet every student’s needs (Jennings, 2012). When approaching the second content competency, Standard 5: Learning environment, my plan was to allow my students to help establish the rules of the class, and to make sure I hold them accountable for those rules. the policies, procedures, and rules of the class are usually determined at the beginning of the school year, and many teachers refer to these tasks as setting the tone for the course of the year. Setting the tone, establishing

Self-Management: here we are identifying self-confidence, the ability to manage stress, personal creditability, creativity, and flexibility. Likely, an individual may test high in creativity, flexibility, and confidence (Janz, & Mooney, 2000). Whereas, they may score lower on self-starter, and attention to detail. This individual shows strength in an ability to work in a non-conformist business, they tend to approach ideas from a new vantage point, however, they are less likely to pay close attention to detail or begin a project until creatively inspired (Janz, & Mooney, 2000).

Natural aptitudes are capabilities instilled in a person at birth that help them complete and understand specific tasks with minimum effort compared to one’s without this aptitude (Nicholls 1990 p.15). learned aptitudes tend to require continuing education to maintain and may fade over time if not used. Competencies are a quality of a person that results in a superior performance in a specific task, a person gain the competency through experience, education and natural abilities. Competencies and aptitudes learned and naturals are closely related, in Knowles (1975) it uses the following typology for competencies: knowledge, understanding, skill, attitude and value; if compared to the MARS model there are very strong similarities. There has been evidence of students with perceived lack of ability doing worse than students with high perceived ability after initial testing showed they were equally adapted for the task (Middleton. M and Midgley. C , 1997 , p.

While self-assigning a capability score is extremely bias decision, I believe that my score would be “10”. I am certain that with the proper training and motivation, I have competence to perform any task. Years ago, I would have stated otherwise but unrelentingly proved my self-doubt wrong in countless circumstances.

Competency would revolve around the ability to formulate a reasonable decision, it encompasses the theory that as an individual we possess the knowledge, skill and free will to make a decision willingly on our own judgement.

Everyone has a certain skill that they may be strong or weak at in both school or in work. There are skills required in order to create an efficient working environment. However, every person generally has a flaw or a skill that they are efficient in, which may reflect their career readiness. Despite everyone's flaw, throughout our life, we can be able to improve through experience. As for myself, I consider myself confident in managing multiple task and valuing work, but I need to improve my communication skills.

Competency: Ability to collect and evaluate information, develops alternatives, and expects possible penalties and risks (Jones, 1991).
