CONTEXTUAL STUDIES ASSIGNMENT 3: REFLECTIONS AGAINST LEARNING OUTCOMES
Since the last time I reflected against learning objectives I have taken each learning objective and created questions from it to help myself reflect.
LO1 undertaken research and study demonstrating comprehensive knowledge of your area of specialisation and built a theoretical framework for your creative practice.
Q: Have I researched and studied my specialisation and demonstrated a comprehensive knowledge? I believe I have shown a comprehensive knowledge of the areas covered so far.
Q: Have I built a theoretical framework for my creative practice? By sharing academic arguments, I have begun to build a theoretical framework for my work.
LO2 synthesised and articulated your critical, contextual and conceptual knowledge and understanding into a coherent critique of advanced academic standard.
Q: Have I pulled together research and written using evidence? This is evidenced in my draft introduction and chapter one.
Q: Have I referred to my BOW contextualising practise and theory? I haven’t directly referred as I don’t believe this is necessary, however my BOW practice directly relates to my essay topic, stimulates my CS research and broadens my understanding.
Q: Have I evidenced in writing my concept thoroughly and how broader concepts have fed into this? My introduction in particular synthesises some of the broader ideas that have led to my work. I have shown throughout critical knowledge and understanding and formed some judgements with evidence. It is to the required academic standard.
LO3 applied your own criteria of judgement, reviewed, criticised and taken responsibility for your own work with minimum guidance.
Q: Have I reviewed, judged, and critiqued myself? I have reflected as I have worked and have done so here also.
LO4 selected and applied information management skills and used appropriate technology in the production of an accomplished critique with minimal supervision.
Q: Have I used information management skills and technology? I have used some online sources and referencing mechanisms as well as reference data bases such as paperpile. I have used IT skills to present my work.
Q: Have I produced a good critique myself? This technical aspect has achieved independently.
