Respecting the Individual and Their Context ZAC101
Introduction
This unit will situate ‘the individual’ in the context of person, family and their extended network of support. You will be encouraged to reflect upon your own values, beliefs and self-care needs, and that of others, in order to broaden your understanding of ‘the individual’ and the positive, respectful and empowering relationships that underpin quality individualised support. In this unit, you will explore a diverse range of lived experiences and cultural contexts. You will be introduced to the ethical principles of human rights, equity, justice, choice and control, and examine various ways in which the needs, goals and preferences of each person can be reflected in the planning and delivery of meaningful, individualised support.
In conjunction with the discipline theory, this unit introduces learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, so you have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs.
You will be introduced to:
- a range of methods, tools, techniques and approaches to practice
- principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership in real world scenarios
- reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations
- ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.
