RUNNING HEAD: BLOG AND LEARNING REFLECTIONS
Abstract
Reflection Analysis allows putting into practice relevant concepts and knowledge
learned. Learning from weekly activity and creation from blogs have been tremendous, which
has been encompassed here. Design Tools related learning have been encompassed here.
Personal strengths and weaknesses of self-has been analysed to understand learning that has
taken place. The aim here is to undertake critical self-analysis to reveal various learning
experiences and a 6-month action plan for improvement such that better learning can take place.
Thus, a conclusion is drawn to allow recovering areas of improvement through a designated
improvement plan.

RUNNING HEAD: BLOG AND LEARNING REFLECTIONS
Introduction
Reflection analysis allows understanding of knowledge and skills developed related to
particular Design Tool (Bell, Urhahne, Schanze & Ploetzner, 2010). Ann Mathews (2007) states
that individuals can become independent and resolve problems through reflection analysis.
Through the process of reflection, it is possible to turn learning, knowledge, and ideas into new
experiences for future purposes. In the current reflection statement learning related to Design
Tools and blog, development has been encompassed with critical analysis of self and a plan of
action that allows overcome difficulties faced while writing blogs (Bower, Craft, Laurillard &
Masterman, 2011).
Reflection Analysis
Reflecting on the learning related to Design Tools and blogs, it can be said that a
tremendous amount of learning has taken place (Beetham & Sharpe, 2013). There were
theoretical classes along with workshops for DT applications, which allowed development of
knowledge. In the current analysis, weekly basis blog entries based learning experiences are
shared. In Week 2 we started off with the preliminary concepts related to Design tools and then
went on to Week 3 the primary theories and models that underpin Design tools (DT) was
incorporated. I understood that there are certain basic steps through which DT is undertaking
such as logical flow, divergent and convergent thinking, its philosophical worldview, co-
designing, action-based research, triple loop learning and so on (Dhindsa & Anderson, 2011). In
the Week 2 workshop activity of DT, I did not become clear and conversant regarding the
various concepts of DT, and only after Week 3, I became clear regarding it. Week 3 I got some
