Study Skills for PTLLS

Second Edition


November 2012 | 168 pages | Learning Matters

The PTLLS qualification has since been replaced with the Award in Education and Training (with a text book of the same name). However, the text in this book will help you to:
*make the most of your taught sessions and self study time by examining effective note taking, group activities, research and resource evaluation;
*succeed in your practical sessions;
*prepare for assignments and use academic writing and referencing.
Please note: The qualifications and standards mentioned in the book have since been updated.

This book is recommended for learners who have been out of education for a while and are starting their PTLLS.

A good book to accompany the Preparing to Teach book by Ann Gravells. It is essential that students returning to study have support, and this book does help them prepare and organise their work.

This has been recommended as a library purchase.

Fab, fab, fab book - absolutely essential for all PTLLS learners as it will help those learners who have not been to education for a long time. I really enjoyed reading this book and have highlighted sections that will help learners. Another brilliant book.

Clear explanations of the award and next stages after the award. Easy to read and follow.

Good coverage of basic tips to assist learners. Eg. note taking.

Lots of helpful references.

Presenting your PTlls work is clear and directive to negate anxiety related to delivering work.

An excellent book, full of information that will be so useful to students undertaking PTLLS. It has a very readable and engaging layout. I like the added part about Harvard referencing which will be a good point of reference for the students.
I have recommended this book to staff who are teaching on PTLLS courses as I think it is an excellent resource for them when planning assessment.

Not a favourite text although will be useful for candidates who have no background or history of studying in the LLS

Didn't think it would enhance the learners we work with. our own course material is of equal quality.

The book is a good support tool for those returning to study, whether PTLLS or an alternative qualification as there are many useful hints and tips. The content is delivered in a supportive manner that sets the standards of what to expect at this level of study. The chapter regarding reflective journal writing will benefit any learner undertaking the course as this is often a difficult concept to master.
