Any ideas for studying idea 4 cafs (1 Viewer)

[kristy_lee26]

hey im not sure who asked about the multile roles thing because i really couldnt be botherered reading over the posts again..but there is only three stages..

A.Time
*time management is importan for both home and working lives
*spend time organising and planning will effect the efficiency of the job/s done
*four basic rules of time management
1.keep ahead of ongoing tasks
2.set priority list
3.do not overload each day with more than can be handled
4.organise in advance the things to be done
*these rules are useful at both home and work ((and studying for us;o)))..effective use of time will enhance a persons wellbeing
*poor time management can lead to tasks mounting up, which can lead to increased stress
*in the work situation, experts have claimed that it is possible to save up to to hours each day by changing inefficient work practices. Some of these are:
1.poor planning and goal seting
2.personal disorganisation
3.not delegating work properly
4.leaving tasks unfinished
5.socialising
6.putting of work to do later
7.having meetings that do not achieve their aims
8.completeing tasks efficienlty

B.Managing energy
*three basic rules of good health that help maintain energy levels:
1.eating sensibly, with a nourishing balanced diet
2.be sure to have the required amount of sleep each night
3.allow adequate time for relaxation, including holidays, recreation and time with loved ones
*maintaining good health provides the firmest basic possible for the effective management of energy

C.Managing Resources
*one of the most obvious is the income or wage
*work should be able to leave enough time for things such as family and recreation, or other desired interests that may be important to people
*if these are not in balance than the individual may use a resource to help balance things...for example:
1.using income to pay for household help
2.buying convinience foods
*the advantages of the savings in time would need to be weighed against the disadvantage of having les money to soend on other things
*the decisions and choices made about these resources depends on the individual circumstances and priorities

hope that helped a little...to anyone..??

I don't know where you got this from, but from my understanding the managment strategies are simply the managment process. You have to rcognise a problem, priotritise your needs to see what is most important, that uou have to organise a plan, than implement a plan than you evaluate it to decide if you will continue to use it. For example say a single mother is finding it hard to raise her children, work and look after the houshold, she therefore has recognised her problem...time! She may than decide which is most important ie children then work than household, by doing this she can recognise that she needs some one to help look after the household so she can spend more time doing the things that were higher prioritised. She may plan to get a housekeeper and gardner she will than implement that by hiring them. She will than evaluate how thr plan is working she may continue with the plan or go through the managment process again.

i study individuals and work, i have trouble with equal employment opportunity and affirmative action, can anyone explain it?[/QUOTE]

Equal Opportunity laws are used to ensure that everyone has an equal change at gaining employment and are not discriminated against, for example now that i am nearly 18 my work is not giving me many hours beacuse i am to expensive. I could use the Equal Employment Opp. law to support me .... however it is very difficult to prove unless my work tells me you are to old you can't work here anymore, i would have a very flimsy casee... therefore it should be mentioned that it is not always effective.

Affirmitive action is things done for the better of people, to make things equal, fair etc. For example many gov. agencies will advertise for diasbled workers, while this could be considered discrimintive the United Nations has included a clause that allowes for Affirmitive action. Therefore these agencies are advertising for disable workers to gain more disabled people in the workforce.

I hope this helps i do Ab studies so we do thid kind of stuff... it helps me for community

I've been doing some past paper questions that my teacher gave my class, but i've also found that doing summarys using the syllabus dot points helps 2 as it covers everything we're spose 2 know. I hope this helps!!

 

[cro_angel]

Check out my past practice questions at the top.. though they are marked out of 15 and some of the questions may not be out of 15 (as we discovered in the hsc last year) it is still good to be able to write 15 marks worth on each of those.
It is good to get into the practice of writing extended responses under exam conditions.. because the multi choice and short answers are made so that everyone does well.. but the extended responses is where you can really show that you know your stuff. Also, remember to check out the classifications of all those word which tell you how to answer the question, like discuss, analyse, critically evaluate etc. Often the definitions can give you the layout of how to set out your answer.
In sum.. dot points are good but the bulk of your time will be spent doing the extended responses so you should be doing lots of them and asking your teacher to mark them with feedback.

 

[xox_eMz_xox]

yeh its so much easier if you print the sylabus and leave gaps between dot points so you can write in notes about each one, after i know i understand each one i lightly cross it out.

one point i wasnt sure about was +investigate the significance of gender in carer relationships

could anyone help with this?

what about when you get a question and even looking it up in a text book it would give you a paragraph response, i can only extend my answers so far. Normally im alright with community and family because alot of it is general knowledge but there is some tricky questions you don't know what else to add onto it. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yeah I know what you mean, like if we get a long response Q on a tiny lil point on the syllabus :S

The good thing is tho, if that happens then everyone will find it hard, so jus write anything and everythin u can think of... and hopefully get some marks

 

[DanielleM]

do you think there will be an extended answer response for historical and contemporary definition of work?
if so do we talk about the industrial revolution of the late 18thC for historical?

I have been studying for CAFS. but wat has everyone been studying and how are u going bout it coz i think i need a better study plan

my teacher really encourages us to draw little pictures to help us remember. she likes mindmaps too jw, re. the CAFS baby, whats the assessment task weighting for that??

 

[*n.a.t.a.l.i.e*]

Lucky for you, i finish on the second Tuesday, and that is that. Is anyone doing Groups In Context, if so, how much are you learning for the different groups - the selected 3?

 

[Natzd]

haha groups.. it's so repetitive don't u rekon?
for the slected three well their characteristics and needs are pretty much general knowlegde so i'm just going to learn (which i haven't started studyin for cafs yet... is that bad?) one gov policy and one gov regulation, equity issue, conflict, and a societal structure
that's all.. but i think mainly i'll learn the aged and homeless.. they've never specifically asked for one of them i don't think.. someone can correct me on that, please do?

 

[*n.a.t.a.l.i.e*]

Don't we have to know all the other groups generally?

 

[*Buttercup*]

Don't we have to know all the other groups generally?

Yes - do you have a copy of the syllabus? There's a list of what we need to know about all of the groups generally - basically their needs and factors affecting their access to resources - and there's a list of what to learn about the groups you are focusing on.

 

[DanielleM]

even though you may learn 3 in detail l still think you should know the other groups in the same amount as l have found with trial papers they ask you about any groups for e.g. in a short answer one they asked wat are the rights and responsibilities for the gay and lesbian.. the gay and lesbian wasnt a group l studied in detail but they still asked it so its best to be prepared for all groups.

 

[*n.a.t.a.l.i.e*]

Rights and responsibilities is quite silly to ask in short answer. This is what the syllabus states:

Teacher note: In this section students are required to gain a general understanding of the characteristics and needs of members of each of the groups. Detailed study of three groups is outlined in the next section of this module.

Teacher note: In this section students are required to conduct a detailed investigation of three community groups. The areas of study are a guide and may not be equally relevant to each group identified. For example, issues such as conflict between group and community interests may not be applicable to particular groups but this should emerge as a finding of student inquiry.

Hence, rights and responsibilities is in the second section of the syllabus pertaining to the 3 groups we should know, not the others. Is this correct?

we didnt do the CAFS baby thing? wat part of the course was that in?

 

[Natzd]

yeah natalie, haha we have the same name lol
anyways, yes u are right.. u need to know rights and all that other stuff i said before for the essay and the rest of the groups generally for usually the short answer. you will usually be asked about the 3 specified in part b or c- usually c in the essay.. part a might be the others
does that make sense?

 

[misfit_87]

Is anyone doing Groups In Context, if so, how much are you learning for the different groups - the selected 3?

Well my teacher told us that the syllabus or whatever says to learn three in detail and said it was up to our selves if we wanted to learn two or three in detail. lol I think my whole entire class is just learning two in detail if they can be bothered, I can't speak for them but I know two groups I have chosen really well and I was fine in the trials with just two groups known in detail. For the other remaining groups I've just gone over the general information such as characteristics, needs and all that.

 

[sally_33]

Does anyone else find the multiple choice a bit hard?? Sometimes the questions are really random and I have no clue. Other times there are two option that could both be correct - I know everyone says you have to choose the 'most' correct option but sometimes I just end up guessing.. so does anyone have any tips for answering multiple choice?

Also what does everyone do in the reading time for CAFS??

 

[misfit_87]

I know what you mean about the multiple choice questions. My teacher said not to get too worried about the multiple choice questions, just do your best you know. But yeah in my trials I thought I got a lot wrong since I was guessing, some of the answers were so similar lol and then I ended up getting ten out of ten and I was surprised. Sorry I don't have any tips though for the multiple choice questions except just try and eliminate each answer till you get to the one that is the most correct.

In the reading time in the exam I just look over the questions and what they are looking for and glance at the long responses thinking of what I may have to write. Also at the same time try and relax, prepare myself.
