Skills for Work: Building a Growth Mindset
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Building a Growth Mindset is a Pearson Skills for Work unit in which learners find out which skills and strategies, such as reflection, motivation and goal setting, build a growth mindset, and the benefits and opportunities it brings in learning, work and situations such as receiving critical feedback. It is one 10 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, assessed internally by the centre. Digital demand is low because no assessment criterion asks for digital work. Digital skills sit in finding information online, presenting findings and referencing sources and any AI used.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Hawliau digidol, trwyddedu a pherchenogaeth
-
Referencing sources and acknowledging AI
At every level learners must certify that their evidence is their own and reference any sources and any AI tools they used. Using AI without acknowledging it is malpractice, so this is a requirement of every submission.

Da gwybod
- The unit is Unit SfW 7 in the Overcoming barriers group and is worth "10" guided learning hours (Unit summary, page 5). The WJEC unit of the same name is 20 guided learning hours, so the Pearson unit is half the size.
- Pearson units are achieved once: "Learners can only achieve each unit once, at a single level" (Rules of Combination, page 6).
- The unit content is not printed in the specification: it "can be found in the Teaching and learning document for this unit" (Unit content, page 41), so centres need that separate document to plan teaching.
- Evidence is flexible: "there are no mandatory evidence requirements and centres can select the type of evidence" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 41).
- AI tools must be acknowledged: "A learner will have committed malpractice if they use AI tools without acknowledging them" (Requirements relating to permitted/prohibited resources, page 42).
- The Entry 2 guidance contains wording errors, "can have on for an individual" and "identify least two" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 41), and the Skills for Work specification says "Every unit in our Skills for Life qualifications includes an Authorised Assessment Brief" (Authorised Assignment Briefs, page 8), a leftover from the Skills for Life document.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The WJEC Skills for Work unit Building a Growth Mindset covers similar ground but is 20 hours with four learning outcomes and a habit tracking element, while the Pearson unit is 10 hours with one criterion per level focused on describing and explaining how a growth mindset is built and its benefits and opportunities in different contexts. The wellbeing focus links to the WJEC GCSE in Physical Education and Health and to the Skills for Life unit Mental health and wellbeing, and the work on responding to feedback and setbacks supports the WJEC Skills for Work units Overcoming barriers and Personal development planning, and the Personal Project.
