Reflective Learning & Writing Proforma

Assessment 2 – Reflective Learning & Writing 2,500 words max

Use this proforma to organise your responseto the reflective assessment task. Use the steps as headings and write in paragraphs below the headings; this is not an essay task. All your sources should be referenced using APA style.

Step 1:

Carefully choose one questionfrom the Reflective Learning and Writing section of eModule 1 or 2to guide your reflection. Write the question here:

______________________________________________________________________________

Step 2: (700 words; use one academic source – your textbook Second Opinion)

Reflect upon and analyse your experiences in relation to the topic of the question from Step 1, using the factors from Willis’ (1993, 2011; as cited in Germov, 2014, p. 7,8) sociological imagination template:

Historical factors

Cultural factors

Structural factors

Critical factors

These experiences may be personal or professional. Be sure to specifically identify and discuss at least two of Willis’ factors in your analysis and make them relevant to your experiences.

Step 3: (600 words; use two academic sources – one from your textbook + one from the eModule)

Next, identify and cite one of the readings, articles or videos from the eModule and discuss how this resource helps you to expand and deepen your original reflections on this topic. Remember to relate the information from this resource back to the factors from the sociological imagination template.

Step 4: (1000 words; use at least 4 new academic/literature sources)

Now, building upon your reflections in the previous steps, answer the original question you identified in Step 1, using at least four academic sources (e.g. journal articles, research reports) to support your answer. Locate these academic sources through your own information search.

Step 5: (200 words; no literature required)

Finally, choose one of the Graduate Attributes (at the front of the Unit Outline) that is most relevant and explain how answering this eModule question has helped you to develop this Graduate Attribute.
