how to construct a reflection

analyse and reflect on the group processes experienced during Part A. This will include an evaluation of the decision-making processes and conflict management. Please note that this evaluation must apply an analytical approach based on theories and models of decision-making and conflict management. This report will be structured in a logical fashion with references.

Alignment to Course Learning Outcomes: 1. Evaluate decision processes, outcomes and contingencies. 2. Apply decision-making theories to business problems and their solutions as well as to personal experience in the group assignment. 3. Contribute effectively as a team member in applying decision-making skills to a group project. Assessment type: Written Assignment Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is for students to reflect on group decision making based on their experiences in completing Assessment 1. The assessment is an experiential case analysis that allows students to apply their knowledge of decision making and theories to their own experience. Description: Individually analyse and reflect on the group decision making processes experienced when completing Assessment 1: Case Study Analysis Group Task. The evaluation must apply an analytical approach based on theories and models of group decision-making and conflict management.

Tips for the Individual Reflection 1. The structure of the individual reflection can be chronological or topic wise depending on what works for each student and what is being reflected upon. The purpose is to reflect on the experience of group work in this course. Focus should be on group processes such as decision-making and conflict management but may also consider other theoretical concepts covered in this course as relevant to your experience. 2. Students are supposed to have kept a journal entry for each group meeting - put notes/ideas together and identified common themes/topics. 3. Focus on depth and apply theory to the analysis. Understanding of the context and application of relevant theories is key. 4. Remember the focus is on analysing what happened, how things could have been done better, and what learning comes from the exercise. It is not about complaints on "he said - she said". 5. The following are suggestions on what would comprise your reflection paper structure. Feel free to make any adjustments. Introduction - introduce what the paper is about - identifying the main themes. Introduce the Gibbs model of professional reflective practices or any other similar model on professional reflective practices. Use this model to support your discussion in the body. The body of the report begins with discussion on each identified theme, one after the other. You may choose to have headings for each theme. When discussing the issues/themes, make sure to present a good situational overview on group decision making. Application of theories in the context of the theme being discussed. Include a concluding paragraph at the end of each theme proposing how the issue could have been addressed differently.
