(Section 34-36, Guidelines for HE Progress Files, 2001).
PDP processes are designed to improve the capacity of individuals to understand what and how they are learning, and to review, plan and take responsibility for their own learning.
PDP will help leaders:
• integrate their personal and academic development and improve their capacity to plan their own academic programmes;
• be more effective in monitoring and reviewing their own progress;
• be more aware of how they are learning and what different teaching and learning strategies are trying to achieve;
• recognise and discuss their own strengths and weaknesses;
• identify opportunities for learning and personal development outside the curriculum;
• be better prepared for seeking employment or self-employment and be more able to relate what they have learnt to the requirements of employers;
• be better prepared for the demands of continuing professional or vocational development when they enter employment.
