This section has been encouraging you to think about using two additional sources to help you prepare for change. The first of these sources has been other people that you know. The second has been a selection of ‘academic? theory that can be linked to learning. We hope that this has added to your knowledge and understanding of your own learning.
In this next section, the focus shifts to gauging how your work with these two sources has used and (we hope) developed a number of your skills. As you know, ‘skills? is quite a loaded term. It is important to be clear about what skills we are talking about here. Learning to change refers to two different, but related sets of skills. The first set is academic skills. The second set comprises those which you met in Section 2 ? communication skills, problem-solving skills and the skills involved in being organised. Let?s look at how you may have used each set in this section.
