This element involves students developing an awareness of their own emotional states, needs and perspectives.
Students identify and describe the factors that influence their emotional responses. They develop a realistic sense of their personal abilities, qualities and strengths through knowing what they are feeling in the moment, and having a realistic assessment of their own abilities and a well-grounded sense of self-knowledge and self-confidence. Students reflect on and evaluate their learning, identify personal characteristics that contribute to or limit their effectiveness and learn from successes or failures. In developing and acting with personal and social capability, students:
- recognise emotions
- recognise personal qualities and achievements
- understand themselves as learners
- develop reflective practice.
