special notes:
- Statement on learning. The purpose of including this statement is to express the underpinning concept of learning in this unit standard, in the expectation that it will guide in the design of any associated teaching and assessment:Effective learning is specific and individual for each learner. It involves an awareness of the need to learn, and the desire to learn. This means:
- taking responsibility for one’s own learning;
- Exploring and optimising own learning potentials;
- learning with confidence, curiosity, and initiative;
- being aware that skills and resources needed to achieve learning goals are either within, or are available to, oneself;
- being able to transfer learning to new situations.
