...As a member of this group, I think everyone was treated with respect and that was one of the key attributes of that group. This allowed everyone to feel comfortable enough to express their voices and opinions. With the artefact project, we were all able to provide input and all of our individual ideas were taken considerably and never turned away. There have been times where the group would get distracted during workshops however I think it allowed all of the members to become comfortable with one another and we always completed our work in the end. From the formation of this group, we formed strong friendships which allowed us to excel in the group project. Some of the groups most difficult moments would have to have been focusing on the task at hand. When we would meet up to discuss our group artefact project, too many distractions got in the way of actually getting sufficient work done. This resulted in the group having to rush everything dangerously close to the due date. This released stress and members were increasingly getting frustrated with one another. These distractions include phones, other assignments, chatting, and people having to leave early. To prevent this next time from happening, it could be suggested that we start the project as early as possible so that it can be completed whilst it is still fresh in our minds and when we have time and motivation to do it. During the presentation time, I was quite surprised with the way my group presented our project to...

...A reflection is learning, based on past events; to enable future events to be better. Within this essay I will be critically evaluating my and the groups preparation leading up to the debate, looking at things we done well and that can be implemented in the future when I am doing group work again, but also looking at things that the group could have done better in order to improve performance in the future. At the beginning when the groups were decided my group firstly considered creating a Facebook group chat so that we can all communicate with each other in a practical and efficient way. All group members agreed that this would be the best way to communicate with each other. This was used as our main method of communication for organising meetings and discussing the debate. Having thought about this I think that this was a good aspect to get right at the start it...

...AHP -3-503 -Inter-professional Learning Reflection on group process Reflection summary Following completion of the above unit, I reflected on the group process (comprising 10 members of students from various allied health professions), considering my role in the group, how I related to others and the group in relation to the relevant theory. I have written this reflection using John’s Model For Structured Reflection (2000). Looking in During this unit, each group was given a task to design a campaign to raise awareness about the allied health professions, to be pitched at those who were in primary and secondary education and also to graduates. This was then to be presented to some of the other groups at the end of the unit. We began by discussing and sharing our ideas within our group. Reflecting back over this unit, I was quite aware of how the group of ten did appear quite large to begin with, and I felt it was difficult at times for everyone to have their say, including myself. I did feel that I held back on saying some of my ideas, partly because initially I did not feel comfortable sharing them in a group of people I didn’t know very well and felt that I was lacking a bit of confidence to speak up. There were some members who spoke more than others, which I was expecting, but I did feel that everyone was trying to make a contribution and felt happy that everyone was been given an opportunity to speak and share ideas. As we got to know each other better, I...

...Reflection has been proven to be an excellent teacher, especially after making an emotional based decision associated with parenting. Now that I have children in the third grade, reflecting on lofty expectations followed by a short temper after my hopes were dashed says a lot about leading by example. When reviewing various writings about parenting, pairing them with reflection on past behavior, it becomes very clear many lessons can be learned. Having patience, setting realistic goals and reacting to success or failure appropriately are all great marks to be judged by. While realizing no one is perfect, understanding the difficulties and struggles parents face with their children, as discussed by experts, having an owners manual for my children could come in very handy! Because parenting in general can by difficult, many studies have found the transition from infancy to adolescence even more difficult for fathers. Because the mother has time to bond with the child, specifically through labor and breastfeeding, fathers struggle to find a place and may not have appropriate time to bond. Some studies suggest playful interactions with their children as they grow can not only help a father bond with children but also help the father find and learn his role in parenting. (Machin, A. J. (2015). Remembering the early years of parenting, more...

...(Deakin, 2010) Reflective practice highlights the importance of learning from experiences after thinking about it and relates the practical experiences to the theoretical learning approaches (Oxbridgewriters, 2011). Definition Cont’d It is a process by which practitioners focus on how they interact with their colleagues and environment in order to obtain a clearer picture of their own behaviour, thus building on existing strengths. Reflective Practitioner is usually engaged in some kind of activity (often professional) which they can use to reflect on their strengths, weaknesses and areas for development (Somerville & Keeling, 2004) Definition Cont’d Critical reflection includes questioning routines, habitual practice, challenging “conventional wisdom”, being able to ask others and ourselves “why-type” questions . Such as: 1What is my nursing care like? 2 Why is it like this? 3 How has it come to be this way? 4 What aspect of it would I like to improve? 5 Whose interest are being served (or denied) by my job? (Scribid, 2010) Benefits of Reflective Practice Increases confidence and allows one to become a more proactive professional; Improves the quality of care given and close the gap between theory and practice; It provides a deeper understanding of our approach to nursing and leads to greater effectiveness as a...

...commentators and the author. Justify your own point of view regarding the importance of reflection to individual and organisational performance. In his article, “I Don't Have Time to Think!, Versus the Art of Reflective Practice”, Joseph Raelin defined the importance of reflective practice, laid down organizational strategies that encourage reflection, and called for developing the skills of reflection. Two commentators, namely Phillip DiChiara and Philip McArthur, presented contra-arguments as to the standpoint of the author on reflective practices. DiChiara's main argument evolves around the creation of a “safe space” to make reflection viable, whereas McArthur reckons the key barrier to reflection-in-action is not necessarily time but skill. Besides, he disagrees with the author on how to apply certain skills of reflection at the individual or collective levels. Philip DiChiara opines that the concept of reflective practise is essentially unknown to many practitioners. His main argument is that reflective practice can never flourish if the organization or managers do not set the stage and create an environment for reflection. He argues that managers have to facilitate the correct balance between “getting down to business” and nurturing a conducive environment for refection in order to engage their peers. In his belief, this is essentially due to the differences from group to group, within a group, and often within a topic. Failure to take into account the right balance and the...

...and professional factors on their own and others’ professional culture. · To develop the students’ awareness of professional culture and role, and an increasing awareness of their own cultural identity. As a way of enabling you to achieve this, you are expected to keep a reflective diary. If you are unsure about your ability or motivation to do this, the above quote by Oscar Wilde may inspire you to write. You may not feel that you have anything sensational to write but you will be surprised how interesting you will find what you have written when you look back. The diary is a vehicle for collecting information and responses to major elements of the exchange and to enable students to log and reflect on their experiences. Reflection according to Johns (1993) is: - “...... the reflexive method of gaining access to an understanding of experience which enables practitioners to develop and increase the effectiveness of personal action within the context of their work”. It is intended that the document is student...

...Personal reflections are characterized as learning through experience in gaining new insights and changed perception of self and practices. Reflection can be a difficult experience without the support and guidance of an expert (Johns, 2004). This personal reflection presents an exciting opportunity for me to consider how successful my placement in the intermediate care has been in terms of my own personal learning. By reflecting on the positive aspects of the placement, I will be able to make sense of my personal learning and apply what I have learnt into future careers. At the beginning of my placement I knew very little about intermediate care or services it provided regarding alternatives to hospital care for elderly patients. In preparation for my placement, I visited a local health center and spoke to a therapist who agreed to send me information about intermediate care service. I familiarized myself with the services that are offered by intermediate care, for instance in house provisions and therapist group run services. This helped to alleviate some of my anxiety about the placement that I experienced during my first week, reflecting on my experiences has helped. During my placement I was allocated a mentor who was a knowledgeable and professional nurse. I learnt so much from my mentor, especially what it takes to be a crucial member of a rapid response team of the intermediate care service. Shadowing the mentor gave me the opportunity to observe all the rapid...

...Week Five Reflection Summary MGT/311 Week Five Reflection Summary During week five, diversity in the workplace was the primary focus of our learning objectives. Over the past 60 years, as equality and worker rights have progressed immensely, diversity in the workplace has evolved significantly as well. With this significant change in workforce demographics, managers and employees have made many adjustments to not only accommodate these changes, but find ways to increase the productivity and efficiency in the workplace (Robbins & Judge, 2011). One of the most important elements in ensuring diversity is not only embraced, but capitalized on, is awareness and understanding of its limitless capabilities. Effective managers are able to analyze their workforce accurately and utilize their strengths in a highly productive, collaborative working environment. This summary will provide an overview of the strategies managers often use to manage, monitor and ensure diversity in the workplace. First, diversity management is a way of managing others with an open mind and the ability to know the needs and differences of others. Helping new employees, who are of the minority, become part of the "team" and making sure that the co-workers are helping them will cut down on the high turnover which usually can happen with minorities. There is no reason why they shouldn't feel welcomed and comfortable to stay long-term. Showing fairness to this diverse workforce is a must and cannot...

...are at least good’ (Ofsted, 2007, p4). The aim of placement is to gain more confidence and experience of the primary school setting and the role of teachers. See specific objectives in Appendix 1. Findings: Objective 1 (See Appendix 1) was achieved although it could do with being developed. As set out in my aims every opportunity presented to engage in group work was taken. On a few occasions I worked with children of a lower ability or children that have difficulty concentrating. This was challenging as it meant that each child needed the same amount of attention and support. To keep children engaged I communicated effectively using clear and concise language. ‘Good communication at work involves being able to relate to people from different backgrounds and age groups from your own’ (Herbert and Rothwell, 2005, p76) To my surprise this was something I was good at the children all understood the task set. The problem was getting specific children to focus as explained in appendix 2. However, after a conversation with a teaching assistant some very helpful advice was given. Next time I worked with this group every child had...
