Overview

Some children prefer to spend their time playing sports while others would rather focus on academic studies. School-aged children form and alter their attitudes and beliefs based on different influences in their lives. Children's beliefs and motivations are influenced by self-esteem, family members, peers, school, and society. This course will discuss attitudes, beliefs, and motivation in the school-aged child and how each are influenced during this stage of development.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
