LEVEL 5- DIPLOMA IN EDUCATION AND TRAINING (DET) ASSIGNMENT BRIEF
Unit 506: Developing, Using and Organising Resources in a Specialist Area
Introduction
The unit aims to enable learners to develop, use, and organise resources within a specialist subject, vocational or other area. It includes the purpose, development and use of resources, how to organise them and enable access to others. It also includes understanding legal requirements and responsibilities relating to resources and evaluating own practice in their development and use.
You are being judged on whether they have met the assessment criteria and not solely on presentation, spelling, grammar etc. However, a Level 5 qualification requires good presentation and coherent written skills, evidence of a planned autonomous approach to reading and research, clear evidence of substantial reading including professional publication and the ability to analyse, interpret and evaluate relevant information, concepts and ideas. You must demonstrate academic referencing and citing to essential sources including the use of appropriate quotes. Writing must show critical analysis that links theory and principles to their own practice in accordance with professional values and there must be clear evidence of reflection. Tutors may guide you by using the word counts identified with each task, but please note that this is guidance only and not a requirement of the assessment. You should also be reminded that it is the quality of their work that is being judged and not the quantity. 1.1 explain the purpose of resources in teaching and learning.
