For your major paper assessment for HRM 350 you are required to write a self-reflection paper on a significant conflict you experienced and reflect on how you handled it. Using the conflict your wrote about in the beginning of the semester you need to write a full paper on the conflict and do an assessment on how you may approach the situation differently based on what you have learned about mediation/conflict resolution. Be very self-reflective, don't just throw up your hands and say...there is nothing I could have done differently..... there is always something. The paper must be a minimum of 8 pages double spaced, but keep in mind you will need to incorporate all factors noted below (Gibbs Method). Please contact me if you have any other questions. Must use 2 outside sources for references and paper must be APA referenced where applicable. All College academic policies apply. (academic misconduct and plagiarism) Do you need to reference? Yes, if you are utilizing outside sources. What is a self-reflection paper? A self-reflection essay is a paper that describes experiences that have changed your life and made you grow. Essays on self-reflection require students to evaluate their academic development from particular projects. Personal reflection enables us to process and make meaning of all of the great (and not so great) learning and working experiences we've had. I'll cover some of the benefits of personal reflection, as well as methods of reflecting that you can incorporate into your final paper. There is no one-size-fits-all method of reflection. Similarly, there is no reason to limit reflection to personal or professional experiences. Reflection is a generic term for those intellectual and affective activities in which individuals engage to explore their experiences, in order to lead to a new understanding and appreciation. Boud, Keough, & Walker, 1985 Some researchers argue that reflection is an essential component for anyone who is looking to make improvements in how they see things and to be more objective. It is my opinion that
Some researchers argue that reflection is an essential component for anyone who is looking to make improvements in how they see things and to be more objective. It is my opinion that reflection is an essential component for anyone hoping to make the most of their experiences, regardless of the field they go into. We can benefit from reflection after critical incidents take place in our projects, when certain milestones are reached or to wrestle with information that we are trying to make sense of. We won't grow from our experiences if we don't understand them and make changes based on what we've learned. We aren't able to predict outcomes or solve problems effectively if we don't expand our understanding of our experiences. We must reflect on both our successes and our failures. Reflection is not about dwelling on the negative things. Our positive experiences teach us what works well in specific situations and allows us to examine potential transference to other situations. As noted in class, we should all engage in reflective practice in order to become more self-aware. Gibbs' Reflective Cycle
Gibbs' Reflective Cycle Graham Gibbs is an academic researcher who created a model for how effective reflection occurs (see chart below). Gibbs' model is useful for breaking down the process of reflection into meaningful and manageable steps. The steps are a road map for accomplishing reflection using any form (writing, speaking, art). Gibbs' model contains six steps, covered in more detail below: description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan. You can use these steps to structure an academic-based reflective exercise, skipping and repeating steps as needed. Action plan If it arose again what would Conclusion What else could you have done? Description what happened? Feelings What were you thinking and feeling? Analysis What sense can you make of the situation? A Evaluation what was good and bad about the experience? Gibbs' reflective cycle presents steps that contribute to effective reflection. (Image: Oxford Brookes University) The following are the components you will need to include in your self reflection paper: Description
What happened? Write a brief description of the event you are reflecting on. Be sure to note significant events in order to reflect on these. Feelings What were you thinking and feeling? Describe your thoughts and feelings during this time. Example: "I thought we had nailed the preparation going into the meeting. I was happy with the positive feedback we received. I was surprised the employee did not respond well to our assessment and outcome. I was disappointed in myself for not handling the response better." Evaluation What was good or bad about the experience? This step begins the critical thinking involved in meaningful reflection. You might see some additional good or bad aspects of the experience, now that you are removed from the heat of the
Example: "It was good that we were able to present most of our thoughts in a way that impressed the employee. It was bad that I wasn't prepared for the employee to become so angry in our resolution to the issue they were having. It was bad that the experience left me disappointed in myself." Analysis What sense can you make from the situation? In this step, go beyond the experience and look to make sense of what happened in the context of other relevant events in your life. Use additional resources that are available from other experiences to make a personal connection with this recent experience. Example: "After the meeting with the employee, I reviewed notes from previous meetings with the same employee. I realized they mentioned early on having some specific concern that I did not incorporate into the resolution plan. We didn't specifically address these needs in our resolution. It makes more sense now why that stuck out as a negative to the employee. We might use some other meeting resolutions as inspiration for other options. The hope is to learn from the experience and continually improve." Conclusion What else could you have done? This step builds on the analysis and prepares you to truly integrate the lessons learned from the reflection. It's possible you could have done other things, but they would not have been worth the time or effort. You cannot avoid all negative experiences. Understanding what the options were would still be worthwhile, in case you find yourself in a similar situation. Example: "I could have done a number of things to maximize the outcome of this meeting and avoid the negative aspects of the meeting. I could have reviewed my notes from our earlier meetings and realized that the employee had specific expectations around the outcome of this
issue. I could have brought multiple possible solutions, to compare options of how similar situations could unfold. There are also things I could have done that would not have made sense to do at the time. I could have let the employee be more of an active part and make all the decisions. I wasn't prepared for their negative response to the situation/meeting." Action Plan If the situation arose again, what would you do? Now that you've reflected, incorporate what you've learned, or assess how you would handle this in the future. Example: "Next time, I would........" The following components will be factors in the quality of information grading component: Improve understanding of context We constantly research, design and develop products for use in a variety on contexts. Consultants and freelancers might shift in bothrcontext and topic from one project to another. Product teams might have multiple versions or environments of use that they expect users to engage with using their product. ● Transform perspectives Reflection builds empathy, a key component of effective product design and development. Reflection also opens you up to learning from your experiences and facilitating transformation. Deepen understanding We work in ever-changing environments, on frequently updating platforms, on a variety of topics. A deeper understanding allows us to effectively understand problems, to design solutions and to communicate our ideas. Strengthen mentor-mentee relationship Mentors who model reflection with their mentees might open the way for an enhanced relationship and understanding of each other. Meaningful reflection cannot be forced or faked; therefore, a mentor who advocates for reflection from a mentee will also need to model that reflection. Doing this will encourage more time to be spent together and a shared understanding of what comes out of reflection.
