Organisational Behaviour Reflections

Overview

 Organisational Behaviour

Reflections (30%)

Learning can be more profound when students are encouraged to reflect on the learning event and exercise their judgment about the content and learning processes. The benefits of this 'consciousness raising' are that students learn to chart their development, identify barriers, patterns and strategies, challenge their own beliefs and avoid repeating the same mistakes. Reflection can also lead to greater confidence and assertiveness or a change inattitude, perspective or priorities.

Furthermore, reflective writing can reinforce reflection-in-action because it allows students to reach a higher level of correlation between theory and practice. Therefore, the primary purpose of using reflective assessments is to encourage students to be more aware of what they do, how they do it, why they do it, and for them to be able to identify practical problem-solving strategies, as well as recognise their own strengths and weaknesses with regard to their understanding of content knowledge, procedures and practical skill development and application.

Students are required to select one PIA from each area of study in organisational behaviour: the individual, the group and the organisation and write a 1500-word (+/- 10%) reflection. Students should draw upon the theories discussed in the Revel eBook and their own research of scholarly literature to form their analysis.
