Literature Synthesis 9
Order Description
An important skill for leaders and, we would argue, scholarly practitioners is an ability to understand your own thinking and the way this affects what you do. This skill is often referred to as metacognition. You use metacognition when you:
Consider your understanding of situations to work out what to do next;
Consider how and what you understand to monitor progress as you take action;
Consider how you are judging and evaluating the completion of actions.
Becoming aware of your own thinking through critical thinking is connected to what Antonacopoulou (2004) refers to as reflexive critique whereby you can reflect on and question your practice by assessing and becoming aware of the way you reason about practice.
Given this week’s required readings and your further research, complete a 750-1,000 word Literature Synthesis.
Critically evaluates key arguments from both a scholarly and a practitioner-oriented point of view;
Critiques underlying assumptions evident in the articles and identifies any new insights for practice and scholarship;
Extends the thinking and application of your review with additional resources and experiential analyses.
Consider in your synthesis the various perspectives on diversity and their meaning for leaders in organisations. Your Literature Synthesis will be brought to the Learning Set for further consideration to inform the problematising of the workplace-based problem you have chosen for this module’s CAL Project.
