PPMP20008 Lessons Learnt Assignment: Reflection and Strategy

This assignment, completed by a student, focuses on lessons learnt through reflective practice and the development of improvement strategies. The introduction highlights the importance of observation and cognitive learning theory in enhancing learning. The student outlines their initial plan for gathering and documenting lessons, including the sources consulted and the methods used for data storage. The assignment then details what actually happened, contrasting the planned approach with the reality of the learning process, including the influences encountered. The core of the assignment presents three specific lessons, each detailing a situation, the associated feelings, and the insights gained. Each lesson is accompanied by a proposed improvement strategy, along with methods for measuring its effectiveness, justifications for its achievability, and the relevance and timeframe for implementation. The assignment concludes by emphasizing the need for a strategic approach to improve the learning process, with the integration of group discussions and the evaluation of performance. The student references relevant literature to support their analysis and strategies.

1. INTRODUCTION
Observation is one of an effective tools, offering the individuals with an opportunity to learn.
This is because observation enhances the visual skills, indicative of the formation of abstract
ideas. These ideas, at the initial stage, lack appropriateness. However, continuous practice adds
perfection into the learning process (Cunningham, 2017). Cognitive learning theory proves
appropriate in terms of upgrading the approaches towards learning the basic concepts. Situation
learning acts as an agent in terms of concretizing the experience, which is vital. Strategic
approach towards this direction acts as a cornerstone for the individuals in terms of attaining
growth and development (Kapp, Latham & Ford-Latham, 2016).

At the initial stage, I sought
information regarding the
prospective sources from
where I can gather the
relevant lessons. I could
enrich my knowledge
regarding the sources of
books, journals and social
media, which helped me to
broaden the scope and
arena of my thought
process.
I consulted my tutors and
supervisors for upgrading
the preconceived skills,
knowledge and expertise.
Along with this, I also
involved peers and
relatives for gathering the
essential lessons.
I saved the collected data
in secured folders. This
approached helped me to
maintain the privacy,
security and confidentiality
within the learning
documents.

After gaining an insight into
the learning materials, I
planned to schedule them
according to the priorities.
However, I encountered
peer pressures and
influences regarding the
initiation of learning
activities with the available
materials.
I involved the tutors,
supervisors, peers and
relatives for collecting the
lessons for enhancing the
learning process. However,
this involvement acted as
an obstacle in my learning
process.
I listened to the suggestion
and advice of the peers. I
evaluated their
effectiveness, feasibility
and appropriateness in
terms of the identified and
specified goals and
objectives.

In the seminar, we were
provided with learning
materials. Along with this,
we were also made familiar
with the access to e-
learning courses. There
were lectures regarding the
effective utilization of these
courses for enhancing the
preconceived skills,
expertise and knowledge.
Being a part of these
seminars and lectures, I
felt that e-learning courses
are effective option in
terms of upgrading the
standards and quality of
learning processes.
Moreover, these courses
are advantageous for
expanding the thought
processes.
Logging into the e-learning
courses, I gained an
insight into the tutors and
groups, who would
contribute towards
reducing the gaps, which
prevailed in my knowledge,
skills, abilities and
competencies.

situation
During one of the classes,
the trainer took us for field
survey. After this, we were
instructed to narrate our
observations in the form of
a report.
During the field survey, I
focused on every aspect of
nature. I can make mention
of the blending within the
sceneries, which I
observed. This observation
assisted me to express my
thoughts, feelings and
ideas in greater details.
Reflecting on the
observation, I learnt the
basic ways and means for
expressing thoughts,
emotions and feelings
regarding a particular
aspect.

During one of the
interactive sessions, one of
the learner lacked effective
communication skills. He
failed to convey his doubts
to the tutor properly. He
stammered while
presenting his problem.
Other laughed at this
situation, mocking and
taunting him.
This situation enhanced
my awareness about the
importance of
communication skills. I felt
sympathetic at the issue of
the learner. According to
me, he was aware of the
problem that he was facing
and only lacked the basic
means of expressing it
properly.
Upon reflecting the
situation, I learnt that
communication helps in
solving the potential
problems. I also gained an
insight into the need for

6. CONCLUSION
Strategic approach is needed in terms of improvising the learning process. Involving in group
discussions with the tutors and trainers is assistance towards speculating the feasibility of the
strategies. This assessment proves beneficial for measuring the exposed performance with the
identified and specified objectives. Situation learning acts as an opportunity for the learners
regarding concretizing the experiences. Within this, reflective observation is crucial in terms of
enhancing the creativity skills and imagination. Evaluation of the exposed performance enables the
learners to gain an insight into the drawbacks. Spontaneity in achieving effective solutions for
modification of the drawbacks is essential for upgrading the personality.
