REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ENTRY PRO-FORMA 1: Focus and Attention
What is the core skill to develop?
One of a major core skill which will need improvement is Focus and attention. I have to
maintain appropriate focus and attention towards aspects so that activities and operations get
done in a better manner. The focus is defining as such ability under which an individual
becomes able to gather and direct their attention. More focused individual enhance their
ability to improve their attention. This skill is essential to improve so that work gets done in a
better and effective manner.
Why is this core skill important? Why did I select this skill to reflect on? (use relevant
theories and concepts to support your answer)
This core skill is important for me to improve my future activities. This skill enables me in
enhancing my concentration towards various aspects so that defining results get
accomplished. This skill is chosen by me just because I found many times to lose my
concentration and focus from work. This resists my abilities to perform things properly and
choose wise decisions as well. With more focus and attention, my abilities to control mind
enhance and reflect positivity in operations. Problems solutions determine more
frequentlywith appropriate decision-making skills. One of an appropriate theory which
enables me to improve Focus and attention is Johri Window and taking feedback from peer
and Tutor.
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)
