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.
