Professional Development Sheet 2
You are required to carry out the following three tasks to complete this
assignment. I’ll be looking for these headings on your page:
Skills Audit Analysis: This section is designed to get you thinking about your own
strengths as well as identifying things you’d like to be better at.
Transferable Skills Analysis: We’re then going to look at skills you feel can be
applied to the course and your career as an Esports professional, which you may have
learned in other aspects of your life.
Identifying and applying effective working practices: Finally, we’ll look at some
established effective working practices which you’ll discuss the importance of. You’ll
then grade yourself out of ten for each one.
You can copy and paste the relevant tasks of this worksheet on to your
Weebly page in order to complete for submission
• Use this worksheet to help you construct your response to this section of
the assignment brief.
• You will be given certain assignment tasks to be completed in class
• You may also undertake ‘extended learning’ outside of the class time
when required
• You will use your Weebly page for your response. No hard copy is
required, but you are advised to keep any work safe by uploading it
digitally.
• You must reference ALL sources that you use in researching this
assignment, and this must be made clear in your response.
• Remember, plagiarism will result in your work being failed and possible
disciplinary action taken.
Part 1: Look at the twelve skills and place them in order of difficulty, with the most
difficult first (you can do this by cutting and pasting them in order):
Motivation and staying motivated
Evaluating own work
Speaking in front of people
Memory
Time management
Effective use of session time
Getting started on work
Presentation skills
Writing skills
Use of IT skills
Reading skills
Working with others
Part 2: Now use the ‘traffic light’ system to highlight which you feel is the most or
least difficult for you (you can do this by changing the text colour)
Red – major priority which needs working on a lot
Amber (or yellow) – difficult, but manageable
Green – confident
Part 3: Write a few lines of what you can do to turn each of the red and amber
priorities into green.
Using my time more effectively and spacing out my work and time better
Practicing speaking in front of people and just getting better at it over time
Not sure how to help memory
Once I get started on work I’m normally fine just need to get better at motivating
to start
Get better at writing more complex and more informative work
This is the second task. It’s about skills which you can use on the course which
you may have used in other situations…
Creative, Artistic
Leadership
Next, choose ONE transferable skill from each coloured section which you might
identify as being your strongest (you might highlight four skills for Leadership,
but which is your strongest?).
Write a little next to each of these Identifying how you have used each of these
chosen skills AND how this skill might be useful on the Level 3 Esports course.
Computer/IT Skills – For the E-Sports course this is helpful to have as a skill as it makes it
easier to learn computer software like Photoshop and the Adobe software
Follow Instructions – If in a team or doing work that needs explanations, I’m able to take
in the information and follow it well
Analyse Data or Facts – When doing secondary research, I’m able to find a lot of
information relating to the topic that I need to research, to a detailed extent.
Negotiate – I’m able to negotiate for team or self-benefit in situations that would need it
or benefit from it.
Research – I’m able to research effectively across many websites to get as much
information about a topic as possible to have a better understanding and wider range of
info to work off of
OK, for this one I’d like you to give a brief description of how you can apply
each of the following twenty effective working practices to the Level 3 Esports
course and why these are considered important. Also grade yourself out 10
for each one
1 Punctuality
2 Motivation
4 Plan ahead
5 Be organised
8 Prioritise work
9 If unsure, ask
14 Be a team member
15 Avoid complaining
