Developing the Reflexive Practitioner
Assessment Brief
Introduction
For this module there is one individual research based assessment which is presented as a ‘Developing Reflexive Practitioner Reflection’.
Increasingly there is recognition of the significance of professional development within the management professions.
Therefore this research aims to present you with the opportunity to develop as a reflexive professional and scholar practitioner (Armstrong, 2018b).
Managers today increasingly find themselves facing unexpected problems, needing to learn how to cope with complex environments and to take action in an often chaotic flow of events. This is achieved by creating space for collaborative dialogue between managers and researchers, and supplementing it with the integration of a reflexive writing practice (Ripamonti et al., 2016: 55).
This research is positioned within a critical qualitative inquiry (Denzin, 2017) and using a bricolage approach as reflexive digital bricolage (Armstrong, 2018a).
This research consists of two parts as follows:
Part A: Introduction and Research Design
This includes:
Research Aim, Research Context and Literature Review (30 Marks)
For this research you choose one of the research aims listed below:
Making sense of feelings and emotions
Increasing self-awareness
Understanding and making sense of a trigger (‘A Critical incident’).
The research context is based on which professional identity you feel describes you now and or your future aspirations:
HRM = CIPD located at https://www.cipd.co.uk/learn/career/profession-map
Marketing = CIM located at https://www.cim.co.uk/more/professional-marketing-competencies/
Financial Management = ACCA located at http://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/member/standards/rules-and-standards.html
Management = CMI located at https://www.managers.org.uk/policies/code-of-conduct-and-practice
From the professional body to frame your research choose at least 3 behaviours or values or professional standards.
Write at least 1000 words on your choice of research aim, the choice of professional body context and how you will approach this reflection as a literature review using academic citations of the approach to journaling.
Research Design, Methodology and Method (40 Marks)
Critique and justify your research design in terms of your methodology and your method and a critique of the research design.
This should be at least 1000 words and you are expected to have academic citations to support your critique and evaluation of your research design, methodology and method.
You are required to provide a full bibliographic list of academic citations (all readings which you have cited in text and also read but not cited) using the Harvard referencing system. This does not count towards the word count.
Part B: Digital Storyboard (30 Marks)
This is the presentation of the analysed personal cultural texts in the form of a ‘storyboard’. The storyboard can be presented as either (choose 1 only);
At least a 1000 word Critical Incident Analysis
At least a 1000 word Creative Writing
