Personal Development Reflection
Introduction
This reflective journal is focused on Personal Development Reflection (PDR), where I
am going to reflect on my experiences while studying the whole unit. To do so, I will assess
the learning acquired from theories and practices I have learned during this unit. Besides, my
reflection will include the ways how the learning acquired through this unit will influence my
personal as well as professional development in the future. In general, reflective writing has
numerous unique features and functions which can find ‘what’ and ‘why’ about the situation
(Hickson, 2011). It means that with reflective writing model one can describe as well as
analyses the whole experience in detail in order to extract the core learning for future career
development. In addition to that, my reflective response will be containing opinions,
experiences, new info and events from the perspective of future professional development.
Finally, with the help of concluding the whole learning, I will evolve my future action plan.
Main Point 1
Since the beginning of the teaching period, two of my future work skills have been
developed and I am sure that these skills will help me in the future largely. When I was
learning into this module I have realized that experiences related to below mentioned two
skills helped and sometimes hindered my progress (Beevers & Rea, 2013). Hence, I decided
to work on such two major skills for future career endeavors.
Problem-solving skills
When I was learning into this unit, my tutor gave me a lot of tasks and assignments
related to theoretical as well as practical skills of the module. In this way, my problem-
solving skills have been developed and evolved throughout the teaching period. I strongly
believe that learning related to problem-solving skills will positively impact my future studies
as well as a future career. As we know that, problem-solving skills are needed in every
personal and professional critical situation thus my reflection on future work skills is
focusing on problem-solving through critical thinking and analytical skills (Chawla &
Renesch, 2009).

Good communication skills
The future work skill which has been evolved during this module was effective
communication skills. In this context, when I was experiencing learning within this unit I
realized the importance of good communication skills (Archer, 2018). I had to interact with
my team members and tutor for completing unit assessments and tasks hence I learned how to
use communication skills for converting theory into practice. In addition to that, my
observation on my communication skills is suggesting that effective communication will act
as a key to success during future career development (Pritchard, 2013).
Main Point 2
After reflecting on my future work skill development, here I am going to reflect on
how my current knowledge of the online environ section has been evolved since the
beginning of the teaching period. When I was learning and communicating online for
acquiring knowledge from this unit then I learned how one can communicate online
effectively and efficiently. My knowledge of digital learning will allow me to learn within an
online environment in future as well. In the beginning, I faced some difficulties which
hindered my learning progress however I overcome all of the hindrances with my critical
problem-solving and management skills (Anon, 2015).
Now, I have integrated knowledge of the learning and communicating within an
online environment which is majorly acquired since the beginning of the teaching period. I
found that the idea of learning and communicating on a digital platform helped me a lot in
developing this current knowledge of the online environment (Beetham & Sharpe, 2013). In
addition to that, the act of solving problems while learning online allowed me to collect
learning and lessons for the future workplace (Broadbent & Poon, 2015). Besides, I learned
many things about myself as an active learner which will impact my future studies largely. In
this context, I found that I am having a positive attitude towards learning new things which
will help me out in future workplace and life. Apart from this, as a creative learner, I learned
that I have the capability to accept as well as learn from criticism about my doings and
personality.
