WORKING WITH OTHERS IN THE WORK PLACE

Introduction

An important aspect of the world of work is the ability to work with others. This unit is designed to assist you in reflecting upon your skills of working in groups and with others and also in recognising the competencies and skills required by the learner and to assist in developing and enhancing them. A number of terms are used to describe the ways in which people from different disciplines and/or professions learn with each other; these include multi-disciplinary learning, inter-disciplinary learning, shared learning, common learning, multi-professional education and inter-professional education. For the purposes of this unit it has used the term working with others in the work place to encompass all of these.
