Gibb’s Reflective Model in my life;

 

  1. The reflection should addres the following questions:
    • How did your experiences (academic and/or work) prepare you for the current course of study?
  • What are the past experiences (or interests) you have in this area?
  • How would you ensure the required outcomes of your course of study are being met?
  • How would you manage and monitor your academic activities to ensure a successful conclusion of your course of study?
  • Looking into the future, what are the implications of your current course of study in later life (post-career)?
  • What are the goals you would like to set for yourself, with respect to your current course of study?
  1. Key points to consider:
    • Start the reflection with a brief description of your initial understanding of business environment, reflective practices, economic principles and others. With reference to these subject contents, justify your choice of current course of study, identify how your course of study relates to your own experiences, and how you may apply your knowledge in the future.
  • You are expected to carefully analyse your previous experiences and current expectations. Your reflection should be clear and succinct, and demonstrate that you have short-term and long- term goals, including an understanding of what you want to do with your degree.
  • Note that the reflection is about your course of study and career/professional projections. You need to integrate some theoretical implications of this subject into your reflection. For example, if the reason for embarking on an MBA program is to change your profession, start a new business, or advance your career, you may need to reflect on the consequences/implications of some business environment issues — stakeholders, business structures, macro- and micro environments, etc.
  1. Structure and Format:
  • Structure the reflection as follows:
    Cover sheet: You MUST use the formal Torrens University cover sheet.

Brief (one sentence) aim of the assessment, and how you intend to achieve it (brief outline of your adopted reflective model [e.g., Driscoll, 1994] and its stages).

Main body:

Use the reflective model stages as your main headings (e.g., Driscoll, 1994 — what, so what and now what) to address the suggested reflective points.

Conclusion

  1. You are strongly advised to frequently read through the rubric as you write because it is the evaluation guide, with criteria for grading your assignment.
