Assignment - Reflective Journal with Personal Insights and evidence of ‘deep learning'

Purpose:

Assignment - the Individual Reflective Journal - is designed to ensure each student is able to document a critical reflection of their personal learning process, as experienced during this unit. Inpreparation for this final submission, it is suggested that youmake some notes (to yourself) each week, to remind you of how you were feeling and what struggles you were engaged in, so that by the end of the trimester those notes will serve as a reminder of which sections you were challenged by, and you can say what you learnt, and how you experienced the learning process.

Whilst your reflective journal will covereach phase of the Business Research Project, i.e. Topic Development, Literature Review, and Methodology, it is essential that your emphasis be on what you experienced, what challenged you personally, how you dealt with that and what you gainedfrom it. It is NOT enough to just summarise what was done. This assignment must reflect and describe your own personal deeplearning AND be authentic so as to convince the reader as to the extent of your integral engagement throughout the research process.

Think of this as if you were writing to a friend or family member, giving your honest views on your personal learning journey as an early researcher.

Assignment Structure should be as the following:

1. Based on my personal contribution to the topic selection, problem definition, research question, writing of topic development submission (including team charter,if applicable), how I experienced this, what challenges I faced, and what I learnt from that.

2. Based on my personal contribution to the literature review report, i.e. search process, summarising of relevant articles, designing the outline/argument/structure of the literature review, writing up the literature review,how I experienced this, what challenges I faced, and what I learnt from that.

3. Based on my personal contribution to the research methodology report, i.e.my role in discussions about methods, sampling, questionnaire design, data collection and analysis,how I experienced this, what challenges I faced, and what I learnt from that.

4. Based on my reflections of the total research process, the insights I gainedand any issues, struggles, challenges, synergies I experienced, both individually and in the teamwork,how I experienced this, what challenges I faced, and what I learnt from that.
