We had a group presentation (most of us are international students, the topics are relevant to business communication, you can find them in the Attached File) , now the tutor asks us to prepare a reflective journal, in which we are supposed to apply the theories and concepts learnt from the course onto facts in the group work and reflect.
Raelin (2000) notes that a reflection is a potent vehicle for making sense of experience, improving our powers of observation, promoting consistency between beliefs and practices and spurring us to adopt new practices. (Refer to Raelin, J. A. (2000), Work-based learning : the new frontier of management development. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, pp.124-8).
The purpose of this essay is to reflect on your contribution to the group presentation and to understand what aspects of your personality influenced the communication styles you used in dealing with the group. The focus should be on personal reflection of you and how it impact on your communication.
Write a 1500 word essay reflecting on your personal communication experiences regarding the planning of your group presentation (please make up a first-year-international-students-group-work).
It is important to link your experiences to the literature. Utilise at least 6 refereed journal articles and/or academic book chapters.
The reflections must include analysis of a number of the self awareness exercises competed (Attached File) during the course with a reflection on how self awareness impacted on their behaviour within the team.
No text books and Internet references
NOTE: In reflective essays, it is appropriate to use the first person e.g.: ’I’, ‘my’, ‘our’, ‘he’, ‘she’ etc.
