  Reflection - Graphic
 

Purpose
The purpose of this session is to reflect on the various life and work experiences that the participants have been involved in.

The appreciation and true worth of an activity is often lost if not questioned in relation to how it has affected our thinking, approach, or understanding. This is particularly true if a learning experience requires participants to analyse and develop practice within imposed working structures. Participants will have found certain activities and experiences frustrating, challenging or obvious (common sense).

Spending time to evaluate what has occurred allows an opportunity to step back and appreciate the learning experience and contextualise both potential and the actual impact on understanding.

Application
Depending on how the models have been delivered and integrated into practical projects within the studio environment, the 'Reflection Session' should be geared toward the demands of the whole learning experience and not just the reflection on the models. Equally, in reflecting upon the learning gained in applying the models, the reflection needs to be geared toward the specific models that have been used.

The information provided in the 'Reflective Evaluation' identifies all models for evaluation. Clearly this should be modified to meet specific participant demands. Before students tackle any written personal reflection it is important to allow the student group to discuss the use of the models. This provides a mechanism to interact with others, hear differing points of view and presents the opportunity for each individual to reflect on their own personal experience prior to addressing it in a piece of written work.

Reflective Journal
In order to develop the skills of reflection and evaluation it is worthwhile requesting that the participants keep a 'Reflective Journal' throughout the course of their learning. This will become an effective resource if targeted questions are used to stimulate internal dialogue and appropriate and reasoned entries into the Reflective Journal. The evaluation sheets that are provided at the end of all models can be used as a starting point for reflective practice.

Duration
This session should be delivered within a suitable timeframe to allow appropriate discussion, usually about 2 hours. The facilitator should be sympathetic to participant engagement with the tasks and move the session on as appropriate.

The Aim of this session will be to:

  • Allow the participant time to reflect upon the learning from the four embedded Insight Out Learning Sessions: Motives & Values Future History RISKIT Business Blueprinting

The Learning Outcome of this session will be

  • Participants will articulate their own significant learning from the Insight Out Learning embedded sessions.
  • Participants will be able to contextualise the learning and will be able to discuss how they might apply that learning in future enterprise situations.
