MMH232 Human Resource Development Assessment

Description

The aim of this assessment is to contribute to your understanding, knowledge, and awareness in human resource development. You will consider your learning based on your class (lecture), readings and seminar experiences. In doing this, you will build specialist human resource development knowledge and skills and build skills in self-reflection.

Task Outline

This assessment is an individual assignment. For this assignment, you need to reflect in a structured manner on your learning in this unit. There are three sets of questions (1, 2 and 3) that you will need to reflect on and answer. Each reflection needs to be maximum 500 words, resulting in a total of 1500 words maximum. Each reflection should be treated separately, start each reflection on a new page and submit as ONE MS word document on or before the due date. Please do not submit the three reflections in separate MS word documents.

In answering the three questions, you need to integrate insights from the various classes (lectures), readings and use examples from the seminar activities (where necessary) to illustrate your points.

You are expected to submit a well-presented academic piece of writing, with clear language and correct grammar. In instances where references are required (for example, when referring to key concepts) it is expected that APA7 referencing style will be used and a reference list provided at the end of the three reflections. Although, the reflection will most likely be personal based writing. 2 More specifically, your task is to reflect on the following set of questions (1, 2 and 3):

1. From your perspective, how does the concept of ‘learning’ relate to training and development and why is it significant? What does this mean for the development of your proposed training session?
2. Thinking about the force field analysis model, what has the model taught you about environmental forces? In your answer, use an example to demonstrate how the model could be useful for organizations. Then consider how the model has influenced the way you could approach change in the future?
3. ‘A 10-year career plan is a mistake. A fixed plan can close your mind to new possibilities. You don't know how the world is going to change. You also don't know how you're going to change. You can dream 10 years ahead, but it's best to limit your plan to a year or two ahead.’ (Adam Grant, 22 August 2021 tweet). Following Grant’s advice outline your two-year plan, reflect on the knowledge and skills you need to learn to achieve the goals set out in your plan and then identify the steps to achieve the desired knowledge and skills.
