(Day 1) 1st March - Introduction and Action Research

Image
  Alongside the brief introduction , which began the process of consideration for areas of interest for the self-reflection, was the style of research to be used. I immediately noticed when I am unsure or 100% clear on the task/brief given I can become demotivated or annoyed, as such.  However, the starting point for this module was direct which was reassuring. This was to look into action research with on and in practice research. Avison, D,. et al (1999) summarise the key attributes of action research, as it "combines theory and practice (and researchers and practitioners) through change and reflection". In relation to this module and self-reflection log, I identify as both the researcher and practitioner highlighting my own areas for improvement and reflection. Within action research, research informs practice and vice versa, synergistically. This is because this "particular qualitative research method is unique in the way it associates research and practice" (Av...

(Day 3) 9th March - My Research Aim

Image
Upon on-action reflection, I finalised my research aim/question and topics of interest to consider throughout my self-reflective journey.  How can a high emotional intelligence improve intrapersonal and interpersonal skills for efficient teamwork? Lack of trust : how can I trust my team mates?  Control: controlling my passion and need to dominate. How control relates into leadership ?  Emotional intelligence (EQ) : how does my emotional state impacts my work and team as an emotional person? Patience and empathy : understanding others and different personality types. “ Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to identify, assess, manage and control self and reactions to others' emotions”    Meyer J.D., Salovey P. & Caruso D.R.

(Day 29) 1st May - What's Next?

So as this comes to an end, what is next? I haven't had the chance to properly start Grace Beverly's book yet - that is first. For one submission for this module, to represent my journey and self-reflection, I need to create an audio/visual video that is a maximum of 8 minutes long.  The video is to reflect our role, our research, experiences, learning and contributions. The claims and strategises must revenant design management theory. I have two ideas for my video at this time: 1. A video of somebody assembling a 'smooth sailing ship' with all the boat parts representing considerations for high EQ and what I worked on to work well in a team. 2. Overcoming a wall (obstacle) which represents past experiences. Then assembling a ladder which each part represents a different consideration of things I learnt and contributed to overcome the wall. Going over to the other side which shows the overall skil...
