Research Methods and Processes
Reflective report is referred as a piece of writing which summarizes critical reflection of a
student on a particular subject. It is an analytical practice where and individual describes
imaginary or real scene, passing thought, event, memory or interaction and adds a reflection on
its meaning. It helps in identifying tacit knowledge and gaps in knowledge of an individual and
encourages growth as working professional (Allan and Driscoll, 2014). This is a reflective report
which is based on my own experience that l gets by performing this research. This reflective
report includes reflection on research processes, methodologies, discussion of key learning
points, literature and sources and findings and outcomes of research. It also reflects on skills and
contributions which I can make to company as an outcome of developing the skills.
At the time of performing the study, I used a systematic process that involves ascertaining,
locating, analysing and assessing the information that supports the questions of research and
helps in fulfilling its objectives. The very first step of performing this investigation is to select
the research area, topic or issue. The investigation that I performed was based on qualitative
research method. This method was used in order to get detailed information on the topic and is
emphasize on gathering data through conversational and open ended communication. Apart from
this, I made use of interpretivism philosophy in this investigation as this method of research
includes interpretation of elements of investigation and it also integrates human interest into the
research. The research approach that are utilised in performing the investigation was inductive
approach. The main reason behind selection of this approach for performing the investigation
was that it initiates with observations as well as the theories are proposed towards completion of
process of research as an outcome of observations. By the use of this approach, I was able to
synthesise the experience, observations and learning in order to come up with genuine truth.
Moreover, the research strategy that was utilised to collect information on the topic was
interview (Chang, and et. al., 2016). There are various another strategies including survey, case
study research, systematic literature review, experimental research etc.
Literature and Sources
In this step, I find out the issue or topic of my interest on which the overall dissertation was
conducted. After that, I formulated aim and objectives of research along with the research
questions which helped in providing direction to overall research. Then the another step is to
conduct literature review. At the time of conducting literature review, I researched so many
