REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ENTRY PRO-FORMA 1What is the core skill to develop? Focus and attention is one of the most important core skills which I need to develop. It is the ability of the brain to concentrate its attention on targeted factors (Goldie, 2017). My capacity to keep attention depends on various factors like personal, professional and stimulus. Focusing on things' means when my mind is been diverted from undisciplined scenes to specific thoughts. Why is this core skill important? Why did I select this skill to reflect on? (use relevant theories and concepts to support your answer)Focus and attention is important for me, every group and individual as developing ability to concentrate on one single task can support people in enhancing their efficiency. It also helps them in removing useless thoughts from mind which can hamper their work(Hillson and Murray-Webster 2017). Every individual and group should be aware of focus and attention as it assists in making intuition strength. Also, by focusing on every task perform by individual and groups they can increasetheir inner peace. For example by paying focus and attention while driving car, it can help in reducingthe unwanted accidents. Also, this core skill is important as it enhances the thinking capacities and thoughts. This helps in improvising the problem solving skills.I have selected to reflect on focus and attention at it assists in providing peace and strengthen intuition al power. Also, unwanted accidents are being reduced and person can work on improvising their efficiency. Reflect on your current competence regarding this skill. How did you assess your competence? (use your self-assessment findings, feedback from peers and your tutor,plus your own reflections on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to answer this question) After developing skills like focus and attention, I myself have felt that my competencies have been improved. I was able to focus and spend more time on activities which was important for my life and career. Like for example I have started taking my studies more seriously. Previously I had a very casual attitude towards every task performed whether it is related to studies or my personal life. Now after increasing focus and attention I am able to concentrate more on productive things. The evidence related to this can be provided using: Toolkit: To improve my skills related to focus and attention I have made use of various toolkitlike competence libraries and competency models. It has helped me in improving my self confidence
and esteem. Also, I felt that due to after developing this skill I feel motivated to perform any task. Peer feedback: Previously my peer feedback was that I was very dull and shy but after improvising my skills related to focus and attention, they revealed that I was quiet confident while speaking and also perform my task without any diversion.Tutor feedback: My tutor provided me with feedback that after increasing focus and attention I was able to solve my problems at myself only. It has also increased my work efficiency. Can you identify any contradictionsfrom your analysis above? For example, is there a match between how you see yourself and how others see you, or not?After using toolkit I have felt my attention and focus power has increased. But some how I felt that still I have some sort of weaknesses. Like by using assessment tools one's ability to make choices increases. But I felt like still I am unable to make suitable choices which can provide benefit to me. But others like my peer and my tutor thought that I am improving this skill day by day. Toolkit used provide reliable results but at some point I need to work on myself.How might this skill help me in the future? (use references to support your argument)I think the skill like focus and development can support me in developing my future life and career growth(Hillson and Murray-Webster 2017). With the help of this skill I can pay keen attention on my studies which can help me in framing my career path. I can make correct decisions with it, which enhances my future growth.
REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ENTRY PRO-FORMA 2What is the core skill to develop? Time management is one of the most important core skill to develop. It is basically a procedure which includes efficiently managing time used on particular activities in order to increase effectiveness, efficiency and productivity(Hassenzahl, 2018). It is unique human trait which when developed can help individual and group in maximising goals. Why is this core skill important? Why did I select this skill to reflect on? (use relevant theories and concepts to support your answer)Time-management is very important for me as it helps me in achieving the goals and objectives in short duration of time. This assists me in having more free time, which I can spend on any other learning activities that in turn enhances my efficiency to perform. Managing time appropriately will also assist me in making good impression in front of my elders, teachers and peers (Hillson and Murray-Webster 2017). Also, when control is been taken over time than goals can be accomplish without fewer efforts. For example If I am engaged in timely attending my university classes than it will increase my learning and also I will be able to perform better in my exams. I have selected to reflect on the skill of time-management as it assists in setting of priorities and also it creates an environment which is conducive to effectiveness. Reflect on your current competent regarding this skill. How did you assess your competence? (use your self-assessment findings, feedback from peers and your tutor,plus your own reflections on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to answer this question) I felt that before using time-management skills, I was not able to accomplish my task or assignments on time which has made my image negative in the mind of teachers. But now after managing time I am able to complete my studies on time. This has improved my impression on my tutors. Evidence
related to this are:Toolkit: Various toolkit like making use of internet to learn methods of managing time was used by me. It helps me in making control over time.Peer feedback: My peer revealed that after managing time I have improved my efficiency of learning in various other things. Also, they said that they have noticed a positive change in my behaviour.Tutor feedback: My tutor provided me feedback that my assignment and my work was completed on time after using toolkit to improve time-management skills. Also, I have developed a positive attitude towards studies. Can you identify any contradictions from your analysis above? For example, is there amatch between how you see yourself and how others see you, or not?Using toolkit was reliable but I thought it does not help me in setting out priorities. I think after developing time-management skills still I am not able to prioritise important tasks. So I need to work on them with more efficient and productive tool-kits.How might this skill help me in the future? (use references to support your argument)Developing time-management will help in increasing my attention towards studies and reduce my distraction. It will help me in organising my day to day activities which will help me in spending more time on studies. This will develop my future career and path(Hillson and Murray-Webster 2017). Also I would be able to spend more time on other learning activities.
