An Experimental practice of developing skills as environmental decision maker by providing
interior solution of elementary school in Australia.
INTRODUCTION
Reflective writing or essay is based on all experience and learning process which are
generated during actual analysing of task which is most important part of learning of humans.
There are various day to day experience which we are encountered but not all would be forming
integral part of our methods or writing as well. Thus there are some sections or part which is to
be providing different development and efforts are made to reflect onto this daily practice. As in
this paper I would be including experimental practice which is helping in developing my skills as
environmental decision maker with giving interior solution to elementary school. So in this
respect I need to undertake assessment like that of stakeholder analysis, principle negotiation and
leveraging felt knowing. Then it would be including some sub parts like that of methods, results
and discussion coming up towards conclusions (Ertmer and Newby, 2015). All things should be
reflecting upon experiments that are been conducted environmental decisions which are based on
interior solution to elementary school within Australia.
This experiment is mainly based on workplace where I’m currently employed which is an
elementary school within Australia. In starting I was recruited on temporary bases which they
grew me on permanent bases at the time when supervisor gave the advice related to my work and
smooth running. This reflective essay and part would be including various methods and based on
them discussions or results would be generated (Fisher, Ury and Patton, 2015). There are also
range of stakeholders who are been included within the topic conduct would be based on what
type of data must be there and how that data is been analysed to end up with results. In this study
on reflection mode negotiation would be focusing on interest of parties like that of stakeholders
or management and conflicts which are arising among them all. So this principled negotiation
will be with manager or management of this elementary school. Stakeholder analysis will be
undertaken which is enabling to gain insight with help of felt knowing which are to be used in
Fisher and Ury’s 4 step approach of principled negotiation. As I was not having correct or full
knowledge about these concepts of stakeholder analysis, felt knowing and principled negotiation
which was then increased after this whole experiment.

METHODS
The current situation would be dealing with elementary school and its interior solutions
which are more focused on environmental decision making (Schön, 2013). It is important for this
industry or education sector that they are maintaining teacher and student ratio which is ideal at
1:15. But on certain issues like that of lack of teacher or not concerned about child this ratio is
several time changed. This issues was discussed with management of school that if this situation
prevailed would then be casing much problems like that of uneasy to learn or to teach. At the
time of reflective writing I included Donald Schon and Eugene Gendlin’s work on reflective
practice which is done to undertake exploratory practice in move or hypothesis testing. At the
time when I’m using leveraging and developing use of Gendlin theory is to be used and also 3
level reflective practice of Donald Schon is been used. This will be based on bascially 2 major
parts in each on them I included one experiment focusing on 2 aspect of my topic.
Part 1
This would be focusing on developing skills as environment decision maker what are the
skills that are needed? What advantage I will be having after these skills are developed? And
lastly what skills actually I developed so that I am able to take decision regarding keeping
safeguard of environment where I was working (Schön, 2017). So in order to answer all these
questions it was easy for me that I could be able to note down all my gathered experience and
information in regard to it. During these working and development of skills there was certain one
which need to be looked out separately these skills and feelings are those which should be given
extra attention. For this part I need to carry system analysis of environment and this will be
helping me to develop skills so that I could be able to take decisions. Thus this will be showing
that it is having long term goal or outcome of taking decision in regard to environment. This will
also be conducting analysis of system which is providing insight of various technical aspect of
skills which need to be there at time of developing skills. In this form I need to negotiate with
stakeholders of an elementary school like that of management, teachers, staff, parents and
students (Dale, 2010). If there are certain decisions which I will be making then how all these
stakeholders will be reacting to specified and particular decision. This reaction could be in both
negative and positive way but this practice there would be no specified outcome and this is
mainly done only to perform results of topic or experiment.
