TASK 1
Reflection is not merely a series of ideas but a consequence
as per Dewey, where "the subsequent ordering of the mind
is so carried out that each defines the next one as its right
result, and each result, in turn, relies on its predecessor or
refers to it" (Potter, 2015). Think is a complicated mental
treatment of questions or uncertain ideas that cannot be
resolved, which are also known as material illness.
Reflection is deemed an integral part of professional

learning which permits the individual to recognise their
learning environment and to transform experience into their
learning environment (Husebø et al., 2015).
Introduction
I have chosen the week where I will describe the first
month of my university where I am chosen to pursue a
bachelors degree in business management, which will be a
backbone for my future career and plans for that matched
my interest and my career choice. This week has been the
most significant chapter of my life as it was the basis of
what my life would build upon. I will Use the Gibbs Six
Stage Model as a reflective model. This model because
Gibbs model acknowledges that a situation is what can
influence one's feelings, and also it is built on breaking
down reflections in order to evaluate events given by
Bouds Model too (Ryan et al., 2013).
Gibbs Six Stage Model
Gibbs Reflective Cycle promotes individuals to
systematically think about their experiences related to a
particular event or activity. Those experiences can be
structured in phases through a circle. This frequently makes
people more aware of their experiences, events and
activities and more able to adapt and modify the way they
do things. By looking at both the positive and negative
effects of the event, you may learn from them. The cycle is
finished here.
Source: (Tanaka et al., 2018).
Step 1: Description
This step describes in detail the circumstance, the incident
or the activity, without sketching any immediate
conclusions. The most common questions that may
contribute to the creation of an objective description are
any important information which should not be excluded.
Every information is important for improving
understanding of the situation is relevant.
Step 2: Feelings
In this stage, the feelings generated by the event as well as
the thoughts of someone in step 1 described during the
event, activity and situation. The purpose is not to discuss
or comment on the feeling in detail. There's no need to

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 5 of 33
evaluate or judge emotions. Consciousness is the main
objective of such a stage. Due to the fact that people often
have difficulties talking about their feelings, questions or
asking questions are encouraged. This also shows that the
Gibbs reflective cycle is of use in a particular environment
or a training or therapy environment (Gould & Taylor,
2017).
Step 3: Evaluation
At this stage, you are wondering whether the event
experience was either good or bad in step 1. How well and
in what way did the approach work? What wasn't the
method that worked? The situation can hardly be objective
for people. Bad experiences should also be evaluated, as
the next steps in the Gibbs Reflecting Cycle help to learn
from (Tanaka et al., 2018; Ryan & Ryan, 2013).
Step 4: Analysis
This stage deals with the situation, event or activity you
learnt. You now know what to do in similar and future
situations because of the experience. This implies that you
will write down and analyse individually both positive as
well as negative things and problems you have experienced
(Beech et al., 2017). People learn from errors, after all.
This assessment is often carried out in conjunction with
step 3.
Step 5: Conclusion
This is a step backwards, "take a look" and asks yourself
what else you could have been doing in this case. In this
step, the information that was collected earlier is very
valuable and can promote you to come to a promising and
valuable proposition (Eppich & Cheng, 2015).
Step 6: The Action plan
Action for situations, activities or events is developed in
the final step. In the fifth stage 'Conclusions' you make
specific promises for yourself. These promises are to be
kept. If all went well, next time you can promise to do the
things the same way. You can promise to make the same
mistakes in areas where things didn't go so well. It is wise
to draw up a timetable for avoiding promises, in addition to
an action plan.
MY REFLECTION
Description

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 6 of 33
I will be able to reflect on management practices globally
in the first few weeks of the Monet Holiday Park Project. It
is also a journey of self-awareness of the little unforeseen. I
will be able to learn more about my strengths. What kind of
work I will be able to manage and to find out what is my
leadership style. This is because I was very willing to
participate in various aspects of the management theory
and the business world before I came to university. All this
requires holistic thinking which is the subject of course
design. Indeed, the faculty and the lecturer's have all been
trying to give us a good grasp of the different Task starting
from the very first event which was the first Week of the
Monet Holiday Park Project challenging us spiritually and
invigorating criticism. My start has been from a great talk
with the lecturer and the personality test at first Week,
where our lecturer briefed us over being self-less and how
to be money smart regarding this. This has led me to great
brainstorming about "great challenges" and how to use
design thinking to solve some of our daily challenges. I aim
to apply some of these lessons to the Holiday Park Project
which is my innovative idea project. But one of the most
important lessons from the course so far is perhaps the
importance of self-confidence and awareness. I can reflect
on and understand not only my own strengths and my
personal leadership style, but how I can work with others
who have inflamed passions. Such boastfulness and
confidence inspired me really when I was talking to some
of the people in my group. It has no brash, arrogant air but
gravity that comes not only from being able to work under
pressure but also from being able to function under
pressure gracefully.
Thinking about it at the end of the first month, of
completing the Monet Holiday Park was one of the most
crucial, decision making, and experience as the role of a
Project Manager / Timekeeper. In a world where
entrepreneurs and design thinkers load on –can I afford to
be part of a program that does not put major problems at
the forefront and help to combat challenges of the practical
world? Will it make me a better person? Will this help
society? As I played the part of being the Project Manager /
Timekeeper for Monet Holiday Park. I feel evolved as

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 7 of 33
many great business rulers who are able to make an
enormous commitment to the economies in which we
coexist and satisfy stakeholders, which I certainly want to
be a part of by giving back to the community in a similar
way.
Feelings
Generally speaking, I feel Greenwich Business School of
management evolve me as a person. They have made me
feel empathetic, respectful and accomplished where putting
down another person is not necessary. What is important is
working together and achieving the main goal. Which
greatly helps performance and skills. There are tasks which
I felt gave my thinking skills a boost and jolt and forced me
to build upon my research skills so that creativity is revived
in me.
Evaluation
I want to gain an important ability which is to work with
teams, and people from different cultures and backgrounds
from this whole experience (Moon, 2013) Since this
module demands work in a group, a sense of team spirit
has to be cultivated among students. I want to develop
expertise and qualifications in a diverse group or team to
work and advance effectively. This is important and useful,
as I am likely to work in a team or group in my own
company in the very near future. In this month I have
learned to listen, respect and appreciate the suggestions of
everyone by collecting ideas, choosing a way to approach
the project and delegating the workload. At first, it seemed
difficult to work with people from a different culture and
background, but now it seems fun. In addition, a time slot
had to be found for the group work, since everybody had
different schedules. However, we all worked together for a
similar end goal which made us feel accomplished and part
of something impact.
Analysis
This module certainly has been that seems to be productive
and a good observation for me. I had so far gained a lot of
information in these past ten weeks and insights into the
establishment and management of building a community
organisation already. I like this module very much because
it was facilitates something I'd like to do in future which is
1

Overused word: main

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 8 of 33
to set-up and run and put forward this purpose. I have
largely been enhanced by my research, analysis and time
management capabilities, which would certainly be useful
for my chosen profession. I am also learning a lot of
patience and different ways to deal with people from
various cultural backgrounds, personal experience and
professional experiences by working together as a team. It
has already improved my ability to present and sell an idea
confidently by practising with the students. It has
encouraged creativity by developing a unique corporate
idea and marketing strategies.
Conclusion
There were many alternative actions available for me to
pursue and to choose from but I wanted to pursue the task
of being the Project Manager / Timekeeper as its more of a
desirable thing to do for me which will contribute to my
skills of managing my business or any other be it to work
in banks, private limited companies multinationals and
much more.
Action Plan
The action plan is to complete the degree with all modules
and make the most of the learning and skills through every
training session. This would gear me up and motivate me
for my future business. As I'll have a good knowledge of
start-ups and the market with little experience from
university projects of my related choice of career.
TASK 1-B
Introduction
The theme I have chosen to reflect over is Self-awareness;
this is because of one incident which as made me conscious
of what my weakness is over and over again (Leary &
Tangney, 2011). Self Awareness means knowing when you
are stressed or exposed to health risks, knowing when to
bend rather than break. It can also mean turning stress to
your advantage. Moments of depression can force you to
reflect on things and to change (Schmid, 2014). Sometimes
it helps to write down all the good things you have done
and all the things you do well. I will use the Lawrence and
Wilkes Reflect Model. I selected this model because it
makes you reflect and analyse an event or experience by

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 9 of 33
breaking it down into seven steps. These are: Reflect,
Experience, Focus, Learn, Evaluate, Consider and
Trial(Nelson & Low, 2011).
Lawrence and Wilkes Reflect Model
I have selected the Lawrence and Wilkes Reflect Model,
and I will briefly talk about the model here. This model
helped me break down this event in the following elements
and understand the graveness of the incident(Cassidy,
2011). This Lawrence-Wilkes Model was developed in
2014 as a systematic approach to Reflective Practice
(Seirra et al., 2011). It talks about seven stages which are
described in detail below and help in reflective exercises so
that an individual knows how to exactly view a situation
and any incident that may have taken place or that happens
in the life of an individual.

Remember
I had to do a project in a Group where there were five
members. The work there is was work with five different
personalities, and it has taught so many things especially
confidence, tolerance and motivation. While interacting
with colleagues when doing group work and pointing out
the mistakes and appreciating the best work has increased
lot of confidence over the course of time but this meant I
had to overcome my feeling of frustration and anger to
avoid exploding and work harder than before for
accomplishment and a better grade in collaboration with
the rest by pursuing the project of Monet Holiday Park
Project.
Experience
What is important in every course is a grade which is good
to maintain a good GPA, and that helps learning and skill
enhancing possible. At the end of every course learning to
better yourself or skills is vital(McConnell, 2011). This was
one of a kind experience where everyone had to endure
each other's conflicts and make a prototype of a product
that would sell well among students.
Focus
This happened in our university when we were given a
group project for making improvements in The Monet
Holiday Park against many other individuals, and the
members were selected by the teacher. There were feelings
of all being emotionally charged for a grade which is better
than other groups. There were feelings of anger, stress,
disappointment, frustration, anxiety, fear(Jones &

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 11 of 33
Underwood, 2017).
Learn
Initially, my reaction to the situation was very negative,
and I wanted everyone to listen to me as I was the leader of
the group. I was not ready for delegation, but I was rather
approaching a very autocratic style because we were
competing against many other groups. This is what led to a
lot of disagreements between the group members and they
also went to the teacher to complain about my rigidity, and
I was called upon by my instructor in order to discuss what
the real issue was with my rigidity. I realised that I was
willing to sacrifice anything and forego anyone willing to
compromise my grade and then it hit me that I was too
selfish on my part and willing to take all the credit. Then
my reaction was a more positive one when I called a
meeting with all my group mates, and I addressed this and
took credit for my behaviour and apologised, and there we
strategised on how will we take this Monet project further.
Evaluate
I was feeling those emotions because I have taken my GPA
to be a very serious and important thing and this is the
crucial factor that would determine my academic
achievement for my career. It was more of a negative
emotion that threatened my future is what I felt rather than
a more positive feeling. This experience happened in such
a manner because it was my first and most important lesson
that I learnt. I was playing the role of a leader of 5 group
members over the past ten weeks who had to create a
distinctive change in the park that would help people at the
end of the semester. The very significant factor in this was
me learning how to give space and a chance to others to
prove their performance as well. This showed the
marvellous achievement and the best prototype was put
together my own team as there were five intellectual minds
working freely in a creative yet dynamic environment with
very limited resources, swing area, women's corner, Snack
corner, Mini gym, Yoga classes for mothers etc were all
brilliant ideas which were floating in our group and many
others too. The good out of this came in the way that I
realised how to give others a chance and how I have to
listen to others while the bad was that I have very poor

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 12 of 33
self-management skills and anger management which need
a lot of hard work.
Consider
I spoke to a friend of mine who was also of the same age
and in the same semester but was in a different university
he made me realise how every time one has to sit back and
think about a situation before giving a reaction, or before
judging anyone else and doubting their intentions. I then
came to start taking a pause before every experience, and I
think of 3 different ways to a situation which is in front of
me. One is the obvious solution which is to retreat and
defence strategy, the other is the empathy(stepping into the
other person shoes), and the third is how would a person
who is there as a mediator would react to a situation. So I
feel that I could have given them all room for expressing
their opinion and a way to express their ideas so that they
could also feel an integral part from the very start and all
this hassle could have been avoided.
Trial
My behaviour has changed to a great extent. I have started
trusting people and taking their word for what they say.
This is because of one experience which has lasted for
about ten weeks teaching me a lifelong lesson and the
firstly the most important one, and there have been many
more which have evolved me as a person(Bar-On, 2010).
As this was just one milestone which has been possible to a
great extent because of the expertise of many people,
which made me realise that when an organisation full of
people come together, they created wonders which have
greatly changed the way things have happened since the
very start. My attitude has changed majorly, and it has
brought about a lot of positivity in me. This reflection has
taught me how to analyse everything critically before being
harsh or judgemental about anything at all.
Conclusion
I have always believed that education evolves you greatly
as a person and makes a huge impact on a person life
(Sierra & David, 2011). It helps refine an individual in the
best way possible that too if the teachers are great mentors.
By searching for knowledge which is new for an individual
is important for objectivity and reduction of potential

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 13 of 33
biases that help to formulate certain patterns based on facts
and personal reflection, which has an impact on the way a
person thinks or responds to a situation. This reflection has
made me understand how self-awareness, trust and
delegation is a major tool to the path of self-discovery
which requires patience and perseverance(Goleman, 2011).
This will create positive results for the future. In this
reflection, I discussed my first and the most important
lesson that was a jump starter in my academic life

APPENDIX
Week 1: Reflective Journal
Experience
In week 1 I have completed the activity which required me
to talk about How reflective am I? Self - reflection is a
significant skill to be developed over time. Only by
becoming more self - conscious of your strengths and
weaknesses can you really make major steps towards self -
development.
In EVRE lecture in the first week we were given an
overview regarding the course and project in which we
choose the Monet Holiday Park in which we had a
discussion base on what our learning will be, what our role
is and what will be the experience, this essentially means
that being aware of what we are experiencing and how we
reflect upon consequence of our experience. EVRE is the
emotional stuff of all feelings.
Reflection
Timetable
You won't cut it down by saying you have no time to reflect
yourself. Only if your calendar has dedicated space will the
review take place. On Friday afternoon, I personally
commit to this event, but perhaps the time to check on
Sunday evening's work is slower.
Plan my own reflection
This told me to create a simple process of reflection. You
will not feel discouraged by a blank page or your never-

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 19 of 33
ending task list. It also provided a deep reflection with
features. I decided to use free apps such as Evernote and
Freedcamp to guide my process and maintain all my notes
and lists. Then, I took into account the consequences and
why no particular tasks/activities were involved. It could be
anything because of a lack of time, knowledge or
equipment. Then, for step 3, you give yourself feasible
points by considering why.
Self-development
Points of action and self-development strategies to address
the weaknesses of my week. I realised I had to create a list
of study materials or books to read or talk to my teacher
about training and development. I have ensured that those
features are set and that a time limit has been set. To keep it
on top, I have added this list every week to my reflection
(step 2).
Learning
Especially my learning had to celebrate the successes of
my week. My motivation and my ability to continue to
grow enormously reflected in the positive things. Self-
reflection is a key skill in the course of time. One can only
take major steps in self-development if one becomes
increasingly aware of our strengths and weaknesses.

Week 3: Reflective Journal
Date: 28/2/2019
Week 3.
In week 3. I experience doing the DISC Personality test on
the student portal. My personality report score is 52%
Dominance, Compliance 23%, Steadiness 17% and
Influence 8%. This involved reading questions and
choosing the answer that best described my personality.
The important part of the test was that I received positive
feedback about myself. I can use these positive
characteristics in any real-life situation and any work
environment.
When I was answering the questions on the DISC
Personality Test, I experience the feeling of fear the reason
is that in week 2, I completed an Emotional Intelligence
Test the ability to identify emotion in self. The score I
received was 30%, and the feedback stated that I am not in
touch with my emotions. Therefore 30% can have a
positive and negative impact — the test Emotional

required for our module.

I have learnt about my personality and positive
characteristics. I am a Dominant person. The way I deal
with problems assert myself and control situations.
I am able to influence people by the way I communicate
and relate to others.
My steadness characteristics I have patience, persistence
and thoughtfulness when working in a working
environment. I handle pressure well- I strive for excellence
and expect others to do the same. However, I tend not to
take any risks.
I do not need to change my behaviour because I have a
positive impact on people. In addition, I have strong Inner-
motivation to create and implement ideas assertively.

Experience
Belbin suggests that by understanding my role in a

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 22 of 33
particular team and thereby improving my role in the team,
I can develop my strength and management of my
weaknesses. Belbin suggests that by understanding my role
in a particular team and thereby improving my role in the
team, I can develop my strength and management of my
weaknesses. Often team leaders and team development
practitioners use the Belbin model to help build better
equilibrium teams. If all team members have similar
behavioural styles or team roles, teams can unbalance
themselves. The entire team may be weak if the members
of the team are similarly weak. If members of teams have
similar strengths in their teamwork, they might be more
likely than cooperating to compete for teamwork and tasks
which best fit their natural styles.
Reflection
The PPDI lecture for weeks five is being conducted by a
study group. Sybil, Georgette, Trace, Enide, Fabio and
Rose are members of the group. The placement and
implementation of the Monet Holiday Park project is our
responsibility. The Project Manager, Human Resources,
Marketing & Finance are all assigned to us. The experience
was great, and we had a little insight into what the lecture
wanted the group to do together as an allocated group in
the Monnet Holiday Park. We had to think about the
various roles of Team Roles of Belbin. This gave me an
insight into the ways in which such roles help us to achieve
potential strengths and weaknesses where conflicts have

been recognised.
Learning
Sybil appeared to be Shapers people that challenge to
improve their team. The people who have done things
looked like Georgette is an implementer. Rose is suited to
the coordinators who play the traditional role of team
leader and are also called presidents.
Trace is more apt for Team Workers.
Enido and Fabio are innovative and curious for the
resource researchers.
Week 5: Reflective Journal

Experience
Use the following questions to help: Look back and recall
an incident/experience; What happened? Describe the
experience. What was important? Who was involved?
Where did it happen?
Week: (5) A study group was formed by the PPDI lecture.
The people in the group are Sybil, Georgette, Trace, Enide,
Fabio and Rose. We are responsible for the Project
Placement and Implementation of Monet Holiday Park.
We all are assigned to different roles such as The Project
Manager, Human Resources, Marketing and Finance. The
experience was great; we had a slight insight into what the

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 24 of 33
lecture wanted the group to accomplish the Monnet
Holiday Park together as an allocated group.
In the EVRE lecture, we had a discussion base on
experience, being aware of what we are experiencing and
how we reflect upon the consequence of our experience.
EVRE is the emotional stuff of all feelings.
Reflection
Reflection is the holistic impact and as a Business
Management Student. I am being taught at GSM. I am
responsible for the ownership of my behaviour in everyday
situations, improving business organisation and handling
conflict effectively according to the Thomas Kilmann
module Instrument (TKI test).
In the EVRE tutorial I personal, I felt confused. The
tutorial lecture stated reflect on an experience. It could be
good or bad. It should be documented weekly. In addition,
level 5 students were given an online test to complete in a
week: (2) Whereas in a week: (1) students should have
completed the online test.
Another issue I was concern about was the lectures and
tutorial lectures could have kindly explained to students
that GSM has changed the student platform portal.
I was looking everywhere on the student module portal for
weekly, reflection, group meeting logs on the portal.
Learning
I have learnt that I should practice being understanding and
compassionate to my colleagues in University in a work
environment. I also learnt that sometimes I have to use my
assertive behaviour so that others can understand me. What
I could have done differently was try to understand how the

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 25 of 33
new GSM student portal functioned when I was less busy.
Week 6: Reflective Journal
Date:
Experience
Use the following questions to help: Look back and recall
an incident/experience; What happened? Describe the
experience. What was important? Who was involved?
Where did it happen?
Week: (6) We started sitting in groups in our class as
previously mentioned a study group was formed by the
PPDI lecture. The people in the group are Sybil, Georgette,
Trace, Enide, Fabio and Rose. We are responsible for the
Project Placement and Implementation of Monet Holiday
Park. We all are assigned to different roles such as The
Project Manager, Human Resources, Marketing and
Finance. In this Week we learnt different leadership roles
which were about 8 in totality.
Reflection
Use the following questions to help: What were you
thinking during the incident? What were your feelings?
What was good about the experience? What was bad about

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 26 of 33
the experience? Why did the incident take place? Was it a
positive or negative incident? If negative, could it have
been prevented?
Being a Business Management Student as GSM, I have to
be responsible for not only my self but my dealings with
others too. I looked into the eight different leadership
styles, and I realised that I am more suited to the leading
side of a side. I have been commanding and very
controlling at first, but then I felt I need to keep it
controlled and cordial with everyone if we are to achieve
things together.
Every EVRE tutorial gave my mind a jolt to think in a
certain manner, and I used to come back home do some
research and then reflect on my weekly experience be it my
Monnet Park Project or myself as an individual entirely.
There were online tests which I had to ensure completion
of in order to stay at part with the weeks teaching, but the
issue was the unreliability of the portal of students which
was very challenging.
Learning
Use the following questions to help: What have you learnt
from the experience? What sense can you make of the
situation? What could you have done differently? Do you
need to change your behaviour? If it arose again what
would you do? How do you plan to change your
behaviour?
I have learnt that I should practice what is the learning of
these eight types. Which were dimensions that we are
based below:
Pioneering – dynamic, charismatic, and adventurous
Energising – outgoing, encouraging, and spontaneous
Affirming – approachable, friendly, and positive
Inclusive – patient, accepting, and diplomatic
Humble –soft-spoken, precise, and modest
Deliberate – systematic, analytical, and cautious

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 27 of 33
Resolute – rational, challenging, and determined
Commanding –assertive, competitive, and driven
These helped me relate to what suits my personality and
what are my group members part of in this project as it
helped us understand each other better. I realised I'm more
pioneering and commanding and how I use it to my
advantage is an important factor.
Week 7: Reflective Journal
Date:
Experience
Week (7)
In the EVRE lecture, we had a discussion base on
experience, being aware of what we are experiencing and
how we reflect upon the consequence of our experience.
EVRE is the emotional stuff of all feelings. Whereby
taking this test, I felt that People of this type of personality
need to be validated in order to feel valuable, which is what
I want. They often work hard, compete and are focused
highly on achieving their objectives whether they are the
company's most successful salesman or the best grade
uniquely salesman in their social environment for GSM.
Reflection
I realised I could have worked to make up for courage if I
resent fear, but fear still lies under the surface. Sometimes a
feature could be so incoherent with our personality that, if
we see it in others, we refuse, but we get upset about it. We
might also mistakenly believe that other people admire a
desirable quality. It is important to be conscious of these
natural tendencies and answer the questions honestly in
order to get accurate results from any Enneagram test,
which is why I took three tests twice each to ensure validity
and reliability.

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 28 of 33
More or less the answers categorised me into being an
achiever.
Learning
An Enneagram is a multifunctional tool which helped me
identify my personality type identification at its most basic
level. The Enneagram does, however, offer more than
categorisation and labelling. This opens a critical
discussion on similarities and diversity and offers language
for describing a range of human tendencies. It helps
students to consider themselves critically.
Week 8: Reflective Journal
Date:
Experience
In the week (8), our EVRE lecturer presented the
personality type My Myers Briggs that was Extroverted,
Intuitive, Thoughtful and Judging–ENTJ. I had a positive
first response to my score. I felt my personality reflected
fairly. My extroversion trend (3 per cent) suggests that I
have both extroversion and introversion characteristics
with a slight extroversion trend. My intuitive scores (12
%), thinking (12 %) and judging (22 %) suggest that these
characteristics have more to do with my personality.
Our discussion was based on these four personality types,
and we were encouraged to take these tests and talk about
them in front of the class to comprehend our understanding
of our self.
Reflection
Extroverts have these key descriptors: energised by the
outside world with an active and social focus on things and
people. These descriptors are my agreement, but also my
personality (for example, the reflective depth of the

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 29 of 33
interest) is compatible with introversion aspects. Intuition
descriptors include the search for significance and
opportunities, the formation of organisations and activities
on speculations. This is a field of my assessment; I feel less
connected. In facts and data (sensing features), I feel I am
better at handling them. Logic, analysis, thought and
objective implementation is the focus of thought. I agree
with this assessment in my type of Myers Briggs. The final
characteristics are the assessment of the objectives, the
systemic approach, decision-making, planning and
organisation. The characteristics of the sensor (spontaneity,
flexibility, comfort and surprise) are areas which I have set
for my personal development as well, and this is a strong
characteristic of Myers Briggs. I start by reflecting on this
feature through past Park work experience.
Learning
These are all the features I use in my description, and I
found this test very accurate. I knew a little about what the
test indicated to me since I had little or no experience with
Myers-Briggs before this module. After studying it more
thoroughly in this class, I find that not only tells me who I
am in a task but also how I live my life. This test helped me
to see the way I am. I always want to help people; I've
preferred to be with people most of the time. When I work,
it is comfortable for my teachers to leave a project with me,
knowing that I will do what is necessary. I seek pleasure in
helping other people as an ESFJ, but I do not forget that I
come first.
Week 9: Reflective Journal
Date:
14/02/2019
Experience
In Week: (9) we had been taught and told to evaluate self-
organising techniques and how to bring everything that we
have learnt and pulled off so far. The Personal

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 30 of 33
Development Plan, and as our instructor himself is self-
motivating for a student, reflective of the individual self,
critical of own-self, flexible for the environment, creative
and disciplined in the spirit of effecting positive
educational change, our confusions and questions were
addressed.
Reflection
I this I evaluated myself in four steps.
1. Assess readiness to learn- I questioned myself regarding
my inclination towards learning or towards making myself
better after learning from the mistakes made.
2. Set learning goals- Then I asked myself if I have any
goals, what are they and what do I plan to do about them or
achieve them.
3. Engage in the learning process- Then I engaged in
different steps in the past weeks and found similar tests that
would teach me to make myself better for the future
endeavours.
4. Evaluate learning-Then In sat down in this week
compiling every week learning, accomplishment, future
plan of action and mistakes made.
Learning
I feel that even for the brightest and most motivated
students, it can be difficult to learn independently. The
processes involved in this teaching course are better known
to outline the key components of four key phases of
independent learning: readiness to learn, the setting of
learning objectives, the participation in the learning process
and the evaluation of learning are all factors which have to
be managed for better understanding of one own self.

Week 10: Reflective Journal
Date:
Experience
In Week: (10) the EVRE lecture taught the following to us:
Self-assess your readiness to learn out of the incident
Define your learning goals and develop a learning contract
for betterment in the future.
Monitor your learning process alongside the experience.
Take the initiative for all stages of the learning process —
be self-motivated for anything and everything.
Re-evaluate and alter goals as required during your unit of
study
Consult with your advising instructor as required
This meant we six individuals had been together combining
all our efforts in order to make our project successful and
the best out of all. This meant being motivated and having
it within us to learn also.
Reflection
Holton & Swanson (2005) stated that in self-directed
learners that adult people are generally ready to learn when
their lives need to know. This based on certain grounds,
since most adult learners, do not go to school for a certain
purpose or want to improve their personal and professional
skills.
In this reflection for learning, I have realised that it was
fortunate of me to have such a great instructor who had
been on his toes to address any problem or provide a better
understanding of this course which had forced me to direct
myself towards learning new ways of self-discovery.

Grammarly Report generated on Wednesday, Apr 24, 2019, 2:38 PM Page 32 of 33
Learning
Most adults go to school like me to study certain
qualifications or speciality requirements, while young
adults are subject to the requirement of graduation, which
dictated by the school. This can also be explained why it is
important for instructors to use real-life applications in the
fields Adult learners recognise their intellectual ability to
become a partner in the learning process and why it's
important to instil real-life applications within the course
aims which is why GSM is apt for my career and my
individual self.
