Reflective Journal on Developing Effective Management Skills for a Globalized World

Assessment 2: Reflective Journal  1. Pt B Module 2 to 6 The theme of this journal is how this unit has assisted you to become an effective manager or employee or citizen in a globalised world. Each of your 5 entries will take an aspect of your journey. You need to reflect on the cognitive and affective dimensions of your learning experiences during this unit. It is a critical reflection of your own learning using a set Murdoch University - MBS538 Unit Information and Learning Guide 11 framework (DIEP – Describe, Interpret, Evaluate, Plan) to demonstrate what you have learnt and how this learning will impact on your future management and goals, supported by academic references. You need to reflect on the unit content including the text, LMS material, group discussions, activities and assessments using the DIEP model (see LMS). You may reflect on questions such as the following: • How have these sessions helped me to understand key aspects of organisational life differently? • What models, key ideas or notions have been transformed through my experience with this unit? • How have these sessions helped me to engage differently with my organisation (or any organisation that I know well)? • What skills, personal and organisational capabilities may be more relevant to confront some of my professional challenges – and those of the organisation I work for/or those of a given organisation I know well? • How do I feel now with regards to certain organisational issues that are important for my life, as a result of taking this unit? You need to produce five DIEP reflections (see LMS). Each DIEP reflection should be about individual, different sessions from each module, be 500 words and focus on a specific aspect of your learning. •Part B comprises five reflections from Modules 2 to 6. DIEP provides a framework for writing effective reflections: • D = describe (describe the setting and event objectively and briefly; say what is the event and why it is important to your journey) • I = interpret (explain the things that happened; the things your learned from it; how this event relates to other events and to your feelings and what you learned; any conclusions that you arrived at; the meaning you make of the event; why did things happen as they did) • E = evaluate (how effective or efficient was the event or your actions; what is the value of what you learned from the experience) • P = plan (how this will be useful to you; what would you do differently in future because of this experience. Note: you should use SMART in your plan).
