Select incidents from the present or the past and ‘journal’ these incidents fully in a diary. You may journal one (1) important incident that has made an impact on you personally, or you may journal an
ongoing process at work as it unfolds.
Analysis of Journal
The analysis of the journal involves identifying the major and minor themes that can be identified within the journal. For example, you may identify a personality clash as a major theme and then identify
anger and anxiety as minor themes.
Reflection
The journal is a record of your reflections. As such it should include
your thoughts on the incidents, your feelings and your insights
through the analysis of the incidents.
Linking to Theory
When the themes have been uncovered and you have discussed these in relation to your thoughts and feelings you should try to locate these themes in the literature of theorists – publications from texts and journals. Does the theoretical information support your feelings
about the incidents?
