REFLECTION
Here is the example:
With the help of Gibbs reflection model, I want to share my learning experience that is:
Description: I want to share my experience on learning skills. After attending this module, I
found that I am good in number of skills that can help me out in the future. Moreover, I have
good grasping skills, so I learn the thing easily (Zaghloul, 2018). As well, I can easily do the
research on the projects and it helps me to gather and analyse the information and build my
knowledge. I am easily able to communicate with team members regarding the project or the
assignment. Moreover, I am confident because I communicate with others easily and I remain
friendly with others, so I get interested in going to the university. Furthermore, I have done lots
of assignments with other people, and I was having trouble in online assignment because my ICT
skills were not good. A part from this ICT skill means information and communication
technology. Moreover, I am self-confident because I do teamwork and it sets me to future
success and it teaches me active listening and effective speaking. I connect with seniors in
university for knowledge and skill building. I am not able to go university on time and I always
get late, and at that time I struggled for time management and is difficult for me due to planning
fallacy. I am not good at problem solving because if anything happens I am not able to solve the
problem properly, when a problem was happened while I was doing the team work and I was not
able to solve that problem. My skills that grew from this experience was the one that was
regarding the communication skills that focused on the management of the practices. It was
essential for be to be able to understand the effectiveness of research skills which was very
effective in the performance. I was able to understand that the better knowledge and experience
helps me provide the success that is required for the management of the success.

Feeling: From that experience, I came to know that I am good in communication skill. I was
given a team assignment and I communicated with team members in an effective manner. It
helped me out in knowing about communication skill and all other strengths. Apart from this I
have also come to know that I am good at research skill. I was given a project and I have done
research on it and I analyse and gather the information easily and this help me to known my
research skill (Cavalheiro and et.al., 2019). Moreover, I got an online assignment and I have able
to do it properly, and I was having trouble doing it online and then I come to know that my ICT
skills was not good. I was given teamwork and I have done it properly because from this I learn
many things, and I get connect with seniors for knowledge. From this I know my teamwork and
networking was good. Furthermore, I come to know that my time and self-management skill was
not good, I can't manage the time gets late. I was not good at problem solving skills because I
cannot solve the problem easily. During my experience at the learning module I was tough about
how to develop my communication skills. In this development I was able to enjoy my experience
with a different level of understanding for the management of new practices. My focus was
towards the development of my professional self towards the management of the key practices. It
was important for me to be able to develop the success that was required for the management of
the key practices.
Evaluation:
I was able to learn from these operations that the development of my knowledge was the
part of the experiences that was regarding the factors that brought the growth required. In this the
communication skills where related to the factors that are said to be the key factor of the growth
of my understanding. It also allowed me to make better relations with other in order to be able to
influence my performance (Theodotou, 2020). This was said to be the reason that helped me
bring the professionalism that was the key factor for the growth. I also needed to be factor that
allowed me to gain the success that was required for the management of the key factors. It was
considered that the development of the organization to be able to generate the success that is
required. I also developed my ICT skills through the learning experiences that I got from
observing my mentors It was considered to be the factor that brought me the success that is
required for the management of the success. I also was able to create new strategies that helped
me to find the success criteria that was essential for the development of the areas that I needed
for my future growth. There were areas such as the problem solving skills that were considered

to be the ones that are relate to the ones such as the personal operations. It was said to be the
management of my that helped me to be able to organize the main parts of the skills that are
required for the gathering of the personal operations (Patel and et.al., 2019). For being able to
generate more success through the skills that I had developed I start to put these skills under
practice which resulted in better performance. It was the key towards the ways in which I
monitored the performance of the individual that was considered to be the major part of the
success. This is also said to be the reason which are considered to be the reason that helped me to
be able to generate the operations that are considered to be the key part of my success which
helped me gain success.
Analysis
Being able to develop a consistency of the performance was considered to be the key part
of my success in which I was able to develop a new understanding that was regarding the
operational efficiency. It was found that the generation of the level of understanding was said to
be the one that helped me manage the organizational effectiveness that required the organization
to be able to manage the success that is effective in the personal management. I was able to
develop this understanding that the communication of the operational effectiveness was said to
be the reason due to which I was able to generate the success in the behaviour towards others and
their operational management. It was found that the in my professional career the importance of
the practices that helped me to better develop empathy in my interaction towards my colleagues
in the module. I was able to manage a new kind of standard that portrayed an experiences of
mine towards the ways in which I used ICT skills for the connection with others. I was able to
generate the success with the help of a different level of success that was considered to be the
effective in the better problem solving skills. Due to the lack of experiences I was facing issues
that were present in the problem solving skills. It was the same reason due to which I was also
not able to manage the time properly and ended up utilizing more time for better results. This is
due to my demand of developing a need for perfection which made me use up more of my time
into consideration for the future demand.
Conclusion
It has been summarised from module learning that participation in activities and as it
helps out in increasing our knowledge. On the basis of reflection, I can say that communication,

ICT and decision making skills play a vital role as it helps us out in employment and make us
able in performing job roles. In regard to this module, I can say that it has increased my skills
and knowledge to the great extent. I can also say that this module has helped me out in
understanding a proper way of performing any kind of task. On the other hand, I can say that I
am lacking behind in time management and problem solving skills that I need to improve for
better employment opportunities (Besi and Sakellariou, 2019). Time management skill also play
a vital role as it also helps us out in completing our tasks in a time management and also makes
us free from frustration. But I feel that I could have focused on improving problem solving and
time management skills so that I can make better decisions in the future and can accomplish set
goals.
