INTRODUCTION
Reflexive practices are defined as the subjective understanding of real life incidences
which are totally based over thinking of an individual in critical manner. This is based on
assumptions, actions and values of an individual which are adopted by them to sustain. These
practices are supporting to enhance understanding which are based on reality and defined as a
rational way in order to respond to a particular work and activity. This report is divided into
three sections in which literature review, research methods and creative writing is being
inserted.
PART A
Aim and research context
The major aim behind this study is related to developing understanding in respect of
providing importance of reflexive practices with the view to enhance overall performance in
order to develop professional identity. Reflexive practices are one which allows an individual to
examine their past exerted practices in such a way that high understanding can be inhaled by
which methods of improvements can be analysed and wrong action can be minimised for future
actions. This is helpful in exerting appropriate quality within performance in their actions. In
order to develop self-understanding individual is required to create self-awareness so that they
can make their own professional identity and enhance their image as well. The first step is to
apply tools of research through which high understanding can be developed and this process is
executed with the help of literature review. This could be helpful in drawing personal reflection
so as to make self-image and to develop various occasions to perform action as well. This
report is considering formal professional identity by which behaviour and value framework are
being used to frame CIPD framework, and this could be further discussed with the help of
literature review.
Literature review
There are several theoretical direction which are required within a research so as to direct
research proceeding and to develop better understanding as well for perform further
investigation in better manner. The current research is based on the aim of understanding
importance of self-awareness in order to develop personal identity and the views is been taken

from Caldwell, C. and Hayes, L.A., 2016 which says that self-awareness is helpful for an
individual to understand gaps between their managerial practices and used tactics for
developing their own skills and capabilities. This could be helpful in order to examine current
situation through which individual may get support over making their decision making process
more attractive and impactful as well through which process of stress management can be made
easier and individual can be motivated as well. Self-awareness plays significant role in
providing direction over various situations through these proper actions can be taken along with
particular situation as well. Besides this according to Leavy, B., 2016, self-awareness is
developing in nature which keeps on enhancing and provides action and experience as well.
Reflexive practices develop sense of actions within an individual due to which they can perform
task in the manner they want to along with high proficiency. Along with this these are
supporting an individual to develop their level of motivation so as to acquire right path and
enhance their own skills and capabilities. This provides further opportunities to the individual to
grab more opportunities for their future enhancement and personal development as well. With
the help of CIPD framework, this can be understood in better way as this is associated with
various standards which are helpful for an individual to develop their professional development
and career planning opportunities. CIPD contains three areas of mapping which are explained
as under:
Professional areas: This part is related with providing support in order to examine
various set of actions which are required to be undertaken in order to intensify skills and
capabilities of an individual. This is helpful in providing support in order to determine various
pathways by which individual may develop themselves within their professional and personal
area.
Behaviour: This is considered as the most essential part within areas of personal
development. These are emphasised over understanding behaviour of an individual in which
actions are performed by them in certain situations. This is described as the behaviour which is
required to be developed by an individual in order to attain professionalism within their actions
and competencies as well. This may lead them to face various challenges in such a manner that
they can deal with them in professional manner.
