INTRODUCTION
It is very important for the students to adopt effective skills in the academics so through
which they can become able to perform better in the professional career (Devine, ed., 2019).
Personal reflection can be defined as the process through which the ability and the behaviour of
the individual can be assessed. In this report, there will be the analysis of the Gibbs reflective
model. This model consists of six stages that helps the individual to analyse the past experience.
Also, another model will be use which is Kolb. Along with that various skills will be evaluated
that has been inherited during the time of the academics. It will also be undertaken into account
that how these skills can help in the professional career or business.
Evaluation of key skills developed for business and academic context
There are various skills which are vial for an individual which is necessary for both
academic and business contexts. Communication, time management and numeracy skills are
important to prioritise activities and influence people through giving good guidance. Other skills
are interpersonal, problem solving skills in order to engage with people and build workplace
relations. Also, IT skills are equally important to work in developing technologies and adjust in
modern environment.
Significance
Communication skill have helped me in presenting my ideas and thoughts while learning
in university. It is important for me to complete projects and showcase them on power point
presentation which also develop my ICT skills as well. Numeracy and problem solving skills
have helped me in providing necessary solution about the problems. When I worked on the group
project, problem solving played crucial role in taking decisions to divide the tasks. I took much
time to learn these skills. In learning good communication, I took maximum 3 months to focus
on my vocabulary and public speaking. Also, I worked hard for 2 months to learn ICT skills and
start working on practicing daily.
