Skills and Learning Statement
SKILLS AND LEARNING STATEMENT
Introduction
The key skills statement throws more light on the three main meetings which I had with my mentor and seeks to bring out personal learning arising from interactions and discussion with my mentor.
Preparing for meetings
First of the meeting I had with my mentor was mainly to seek advice on the proposal for my study. This I did after all the necessary work, such as the choice of the topic, what I intended to achieve and data collection methods to be used. The proposal was in the following order:
• Discussion of the project topic • The aims and objective of the research • The research methodology to be adopted
The first meeting with my mentor gave me an insight and broader understanding into the chosen topic, the objectives and the methodology to be adopted.
After the first meeting with my mentor, I learnt a lot on gathering of data for the research which included questionnaires, interviews, the internet and visits to the library. The initial view as to the findings of the research work was then discussed with my mentor in the second meeting.
The meeting was structured in the following order:
• Discussion of research methods adopted, • Discussion of initial findings , • And finally the presenting of findings.
The last meeting with my mentor was planned in such a way that we could discuss all areas of the project. During the last meeting I had the opportunity to discuss and present my findings which I did with the use of Microsoft Word and Excel, but the findings were finally presented with the use of Microsoft power point. The presentation was in the following order:
• Review of my research objectives. • Research questions to be answered • Literature review • Data collection methods • Findings, conclusion and recommendations.
