Individual Reflection (400 words) 10% The purpose of this assessment is two-fold. Firstly, it allows you to reflect on your role as part of a work group. Secondly, this reflection allows you to think about the elements of making verbal presentations to larger audiences and the development of public speaking skills. The aim of reflection is to help you gain an insight into your strengths and weaknesses in a team environment. Loo and Thorpe (2002, p.135) applies the reflective process in the following way: It starts off with an awareness of the learning situation or event. This awareness might trigger some emotional reaction (positive or negative) or thoughts about the learning event. The second stage of the process is to undertake a critical analysis. This involves critically analysing the relevant knowledge and experience you have as well as how you can apply this new knowledge. Self-awareness becomes the focus of this stage. The third stage relates to how this changed perspective has changed your emotional, cognitive (thoughts) and behaviour as a result of your critical analysis. The main objective of a reflective journal is to translate theory into practical action, that is, a praxis (Loo & Thorpe 2002, p.135). In alignment with the above, please divide your reflection to include the following headings: Awareness – what have you learnt from working in a group and how did you feel about this learning? 9 Critical Analysis – how does this learning impact on your strengths and weaknesses as a business student? Learning – what are your future perceptions about this for your future professional practice?
