Organisational behaviourOrder Descriptionset up and use an on-line journal to record your experiences, thoughts, new information and understanding of each topic as it is covered throughout the subject. It is important to provide an overview of what you have understood and learnt from each topic (there are 10 topics). There are 10 topics relating to 10 slides that I will attach, there is also the example as well, please follow it.What is critical reflection? We tend to use critical reflection when we are trying to make sense of how diverse ideas fit together, when we are trying to relate new ideas to what we already know or when new ideas challenge what we already know, or our beliefs and world-view about how things should be (i.e. taking a deep approach to learning). Reflection is the process we use when working with material that is presented in an unstructured manner, not organised and purified as in a traditional curriculum.There are different ways of engaging with issues, ideas, events, facts or literature reports Descriptive writing: This is a description of events, issues, ideas, facts or literature reports. There is no discussion beyond description. This writing is considered not to show evidence of reflection.Descriptive reflection: There is basically a description of events, issues, ideas, facts or literature reports but the account shows some evidence of deeper consideration in relatively descriptive language. There is no real evidence of the notion of alternative viewpoints in use.Dialogic reflection: This writing suggests that there is a stepping back from the events, events, issues, ideas, facts or literature reports which leads to a different level of discussion about the material. There is consideration of the qualities of judgements and of possible alternatives for explaining and hypothesising. The reflection is analytical or integrative, linking factors and perspectives.Critical reflection: This form of reflection, in addition to dialogic reflection, shows evidence that the learner is aware that the same actions and events may be seen in different contexts with different explanations associated with the contexts. They are influenced by multiple historical and socio-political contexts, for example.Critical reflection is a skill that can be developed, and which keeping a critical reflective journal is intended to help you with. A key to this is the degree of focus and engagement you can bring to the material.The following analogy may help you grasp the difference between simple description of issues and deeper reflection:You go to see a movie that you find bores you. After you come out of it, your friends ask you about the movie. You are not likely to remember much and your account might cover some of the main events or briefly describe the overall plot, but it will not go much beyond a superficial response.On the other hand, you see a movie that absorbs you. You are likely to become deeply engaged with the events and the characters on the screen, even to the point of forgetting that you are in a theatre. When your friends ask you about the movie, you are able to give an extended account, describe the key characters, events, and the connections between them, provide nuanced interpretations of what was happening below the surface, consider the action from the point of view of different characters, compare and contrast the movie with other movies, and may even find yourself thinking about particular key aspects of the movie for days afterwards.Developing your capacity for critical reflection is associated with developing the skills of critical thinking, which have been described in the following terms:explanation; subskills include stating results; justifying procedures; presenting arguments interpretation; subskill include categorisation; unpacking significance; clarifying meaning analysis; subskills include examining ideas; identifying arguments; analyzing arguments evaluation; subskills include assessing claims; assessing arguments; assessing quality of evidence inference; subskills include querying evidence; conjecturing alternatives; drawing conclusions self-regulation; subskills include self-examination, including of assumed knowledge, world-views, opinions; capacity to change self-understanding in relation to new information. What is a critical reflective journal and why should you use one?Critical reflection is an opportunity to construct knowledge and meaning from your work. It is one of the most valuable activities you will perform in this course. A critical reflective journal is an instrument for developing your writing skills and critical thinking ability. A critical reflective journal differs from your typical class notes in which you passively record data/information given to you by an instructor. It should not be a mere listing of events but rather reflect upon lessons you have learned- its a personal record of your educational experience in class.An online journal facilitates your documentation of knowledge you are constructing throughout the course. It will help you take control of and direct your own learning experience, identify what you have learned, what questions you have, and what you would like to know more about. You should not only reflect on knowledge gained through materials and discussion, but also new ideas to explore through feedback from others.More specifically, maintaining a critical reflective journal serves several purposes: It facilitates and enables the development of communication and conversation (e.g., between material and yourself; yourself and your teacher). It provides regular feedback between you and the instructors and helps to match expectations. It works as a platform for synthesising your developing knowledge and ideas. It helps you move from passively remembering the topic material to a more active and questioning engagement with the material, deepening your understanding of the strengths and limitations of key ideas amd approaches, and an appreciation of its relevance to practice. This is a part of developing your capacity for critical thinking. Helps to identify issues that interest you, that challenging challenge you, and areas that you can improvement upon. Aids in clarifying the meaning of key terms by developing a Dictionary of important terms.What to write? First write a brief summary of the contents of a topic,chapter or reading material. Then reflect upon the learning activities you have engaged with. Record your own thoughts, ideas, responses and reactions to any of the above. Make notes about concepts, questions you have, and any confusion that may arise. Record new insights and problem-solving strategies realised during discussions with fellow students and instructors. The journal helps you to identify and explain the key issues and to critically reflect and further develop your own thoughts and ideas about it. Be as original and critical (constructive) as you can.How to write? You should use whatever style you are comfortable with as long as it is clearly written and sensible, is understandable to another reader (your teacher) and uses correct spelling, grammar and semantics (word meanings).Expectations Your journal should meet the following expectations:Keep to the topic and include all relevant issues. Go beyond what other people have said on the topic. Express their ideas in your own words but add your own ideas and opinions. To do this you need to analyse and criticise ideas where appropriate and argue your point of view. Support your arguments and opinions, by using examples, further readings, experiences from your own knowledge base, work experience, other course work, etc. Pay attention to the general rules of clear writing in relation to paragraphing, punctuation, spelling, etc. If references are used, ensure appropriate referencing style (APA6) and attach a reference list of the books and articles that you drew upon in the journal. Adhere to the word limit (100 to 150 words per entry). If the weekly entry is much shorter or longer than required, rewrite it concisely (no padding out of short entries).
