Reflection Trigger Questions
The key to effective reflection is to analyze your own behaviours, and decisions so as to gain a better understanding of why to you do what you do, and to challenge whether this is appropriate or not.
Most students simply describe what they did or the decision they took, then jump immediately to an assessment of whether it was right or not- this is not reflection.
Key questions to consider
- What decision did I make or behaviour did I exhibit?
- What assumptions or beliefs did I hold that informed mypractice?
- Why did I hold these views or assumption- explore your upbringing, education, religious beliefs, cultural background- does this explain it?
- How did I feel about the decision? Examples of emptions might include: anger, ambivalence, confusion, annoyance- etc.
- Explore why you held these feelings! Is it due to a conflict between what you thought was acceptable and the ethical content we considered in class or the unit?
You should refer to at least 2 cases or activities we undertook in class as the basis for your discussion, e.g. the Ford Pinto.
You should refer to at least 2 of the 3 onlinecommentaries as part of this discussion. (The statements you made in response to those we posted- have your views changed?) These MUST be attached to the assignment as appendices.
Using the trigger questions analyze what you did, or the position you held and why. (Assumption, background etc.)
As part of the analysis you must directly refer to the results of a minimum of 3 verified diagnostic tools. E.g. does you result from the Values questionnaire explain your behaviours or decision making, or does it help you understand your assumptions etc.Contrast and compare the results of the tools to seek understanding of your behaviours and assumption, decisions etc.
These must be attached to the assignments as appendices.
(Remember that the minimum is 3 diagnostic tools- if you only refer to 3 results then you will only score the minimum grade for this section.
One of the key objectives of this unit was to provide you with the tools to analyze the ethical dimensionof a decision or situation that you might find yourself in, so that you can assess the ethical risk to you and your organisation.To allow you to make a more informed decision.
Determine whether the content of the unit has given you greater insight into ethics and behaviour.
Think about this objective and provide a final commentary about how you will use this information as a manager in the future.
