INTRODUCTION
The present reflection report aids to gain and develop knowledge about academic
integrity. Thus, main aim is to create the understanding about managing time and problems. This
report will helps the reflector in carrying out team work in proficient aspect as that how the work
must be carried out together and aids to develop academic integrity. Furthermore, it can be stated
that learning can be termed out as process in which knowledge is created with the help of
transformation of experience. In order to carry out the performance in group it is very crucial to
manage the time and work towards it so that all things can get balanced in proper manner (Elbaz,
2018). By working in the team manner leads to get the things done and desired results also gets
achieved.
The present report is based on term as how to manage the time and problems. In order to
conduct this report, I have chosen reflection model as Kolb's learning style. It is one of the most
experimental learning style and its typically represented by four stage of learning cycle and it is
integrated process in which each stage is being mutually supportive and feeding into the next.
Therefore, it can be stated that effective learning can be occurred at time in which learner
execute the all four stages of model.
Furthermore, the reflection will be consisting of things as given frameworks and to identify the
each one of it components and this all will be linked to the chosen reflective model as Kolb's.
Lastly, the report will look over to identify that what has been learnt and which actions are
needed to be taken in future in order to become the more effective learner. The main aim behind
this all is to be the more effective and efficient learner.
REFLECTION
The Kolb's experimental learning theory reflects on two levels and four stage cycle of
learning and its four separate learning styles. However, the effective learning will be occur when
the learner can able to execute all four stages of model. This will be typically represented by a
four stage learning cycle and its defined in following manner as-
Stage 1- Experience- As per this learning style I have worked towards gets the things from
differ perspective. At this level, people are best at viewing concrete situation form several
different viewpoints. The learning is all about to manage the all work with the set deadline and
manages the problems so that all things can be done in appropriate manner (Kolb's Learning
Styles and Experiential Learning Cycle, 2017). At the beginning we have experienced that we
1

were not that good in making the communication and interaction with each other. Due to it, out
things were getting affected and this changed the lot of things in the badly manner. In order to
get overcome from it, we have conducted the game activity so that all members in team can able
to be open to each other. I have done all work by being in team and it has supported me to
performing better in situation that requires to performs better so that all information can be
gathered appropriately. Thus, I was also having the issue relates with maintaining the groups
process as the people come from different places and it was so typical in maintaining the
communication with them and this was affecting my overall ability to do the things in better
mode. Thus, this kind of things can negatively impact to do the each task in better mode.
At the starting I was also not so much confident towards the doing my role as its impacts
the overall working and all other things also affected in poor mode. I must say that this is the
process that helps to collect and analyse each things in effective mode. In order to work together
I have made several strategy as to do the work in team manner with the differ task but the same
goal. It will help to do the things in much more corrective manner. In addition to this, I
conducted training programme so that each member to group can perform their role in better
manner. Firstly, the things I did as that I discovered the advantage of working together. In this
learning process, I got to know that good teamwork is the key to get success in order to design
the activities when time and resources are limited. The energy of our group presentation made
me feel more energetic about contributing something (Rosman and et.al., 2018). I also got to
know that with help of group creative the simple things on the earth could be turned into
something amazing and it takes the efforts towards working to them. Furthermore, I must say
that it can be helpful in terms to develop the things in better and efficient mode. The overall
experience of mine was so good and it has helped me a lot towards improving my interaction
with peers. This all process has helped me to get overcome with the weakness of hesitating and
doing the things my own.
Stage 2- Reflect- During this learning process, I have experienced that each thing can able to run
in proper direction if all member to project works in unity manner. The all experience of mine
was so good as we were able to get the things within set deadline. Thus, we have worked in
being together and assigned each task to the particular group so that all work can be done with
the differ creatively and set goals can be achieved. The teamwork is not tat much easy task as it s
require to work with proper integration and direction so that particular goals can be achieved.

With help of it, I also came to know about way of conducting the work by the number of person.
I can also said that with help of it I can actually work as to develop my academic integrity. This
will helps me to improvize the writing skills and all the things can get done properly. In order to
achieve it, I have used the appropriate sources and putting the ideas in better manner so that we
can able to get the things done in effective manner. I have also learnt that every design has its
weakness and strength and working in the team can able to discover it. I have also experienced
the changes within myself as before I was hesitating in talking with someone else. Being in
team, I also came to know that it is very important to accept the personal responsibility so entire
team can work effectively. In this training, there were so many activities that has helped me in an
experiment emphasis that works as to encourage group discussion and decision making in an
atmosphere in which staff and participants were peers. At this stage, it can be possible to develop
the things in better and efficient mode (Liew and et.al., 2018). This is stage at which I came to
know about the team working and its several benefits and its impact over being in team.
Stage 3- Conceptualise- In this, I have experienced the negative experience communicating
with the employee from the idea that individual is unapproachable and unresponsive yet with
help of constant direction the leader can able to develop the differ theory. Thus, this learner
assumption observed others and this kind of idea must be constantly re-evaluated, revised and
tasted at this conceptualisation stage (Skaniakos and et.al., 2018). At this level, I can say that
with the help of having the more effective interaction with the subordinates it will be easy to
have maximisation in learning potential. By the use of using the potential I can do the things in
the better mode. This kind of the things will be helpful in order to get the thing in team manner.
To have the use of new approaches and tactics leader can able to have more interaction with the
subordinates and it can be useful in order to expand their potential. This kind of ideas will be
helpful in terms to conduct the things in better mode.
Stage 4- Plan- At this process, I have worked towards the process of testing new ideas with the
help of creation of new ideas. I have framed various planning tool that can aids me to get the
things appropriately. Thus, to manage the work on time I plan to set the priorities towards the
work and divide each task effectively within the team. This can help me to get the things in
proper direction. It can be helpful for me to improvise the training tools and also develops the
test practices accordingly. The team leaders in the organisation must be the actively engaged
throughout the critical stage of experimental learning (Ebadi and Rahimi, 2018). At this stage,
3

the target can set and actively work can be done in order to find out the different ways to achieve
dan set objectives. This is the things that can be done in appropriate mode and by
accommodating the work and new strategies the work can be achieved in better mode.
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ACTIONS
From the above summarizing report it can be concluded that learning can be develop
within the person with help of dealing with experience. The report was about to get engaged with
the learner and develop the experience in terms to manage the things appropriately by being in
team manner. In order to write the experience of learner the chosen reflective model is Kolb's
model and it has helped me to get the things in better mode and to write about my experience.
Thus, this report has covered the activities as to provide justification of the chosen model,
reflection about the experience of learning. Lastly, report has covered the future action that can
helps to plan the more effective strategies in order to be more effective learner. The better
strategies will laid to conduct the whole things in appropriate mode and this helps to do the
things in better and more efficient manner.
Future actions
On the basis of above and to to be more effective learner the future action can be taken in
the following manner as-
 In order to be the effective leader, I will work as to cultivate open communication so that
better interaction can be possible and better output can able to generate. Thus, it is very
essential to encourage team member to speck upon, share ideas and to take participate in
making decision.
 To get the work within the set deadline we will work as per giving priority to each task so
that all things can be done before the due deadline.
 I will take the initiative in order to put the more emphasize on the importance of work
and task will be assigned to individuals as per their capabilities.
 The goals and objective will be cleared so that each person can work accordingly and can
perform without any delaying. This kind of strategy can helps to get the things in better
mode.
 The people to the group should have better understanding about the time management
skills. This will be helpful in managing the all task within time and better results can be
generated.

 The group of people must works as to manage the time and all task must be done in
appropriate mode so that aims and objectives can be achieved.
 I will work as to set aside time for the team members so it can be possible to get to know
one another in more personal manner and it also helps to enhance the level of mutual
trust, respect and understanding.
 To generate the better work it is very essential to establish clear goals so that there can be
possibilities in order to mitigating setbacks, communicating with each other and
providing feedback (Elbaz, 2018). This kind of the things will be helpful in terms to
spend less time logistic things and more on the actual work.
