Overview

This assessment focuses on developing your reflection and critical thinking skills. During the course you will have opportunities to reflect on course/reading materials, online discussions and responses to ideas presented by other classmates. These reflections form the foundation for Assessment 3.

You will create a Reflective Response that demonstrates your engagement with two key insights from the course and how discussions during the course influenced your own thinking on the topics covered. The Yunus Centre Reflective Thinking and Writing Guide provides reflective writing tips.

You will be assessed on your ability to:

• explain the two key insights from the course themes and how they relate to real world challenges;
• reflect on how they relate to your learning and/or future professional practices;
• integrate peer feedback and reflect on the process of giving and receiving feedback;

Purpose of this assessment

This task is designed to provide you with an opportunity to practice and reflect on collaborative working and thinking – key skills in the fields of social and cultural innovation. In social and cultural entrepreneurship self-reflection enables you to examine your values, motivations and assumptions as you start to respond to particular challenges or issues. Values-based leadership is central to practicing social and cultural entrepreneurship. Sometimes it can be hard to appreciate that we cannot achieve goals on our own. Values-based work is collaborative rather than focused on individuals. Self-reflection enables you to remain aware of the bigger picture and your part in creating change. Importantly, it keeps you aligned with the purpose of the work. The skill of reflectively discussing ideas with colleagues is increasingly recognised as a way to ensure that reflection is not an abstract exercise, but an ongoing practice of sharing, learning and determining innovative action.

FAQs

·        What is the point of doing reflective tasks?

In social and cultural entrepreneurship, self-reflections enable you to examine your values, motivations and assumptions as you start to respond to particular challenges or problems. Reflective learning is a crucial skill for business leaders, innovators and analysts. In order to improve performance and learn from our mistakes and each other we need to develop the skills that are the foundation of critical and reflective thinking. Values-based leadership is all about collaborations and working with teams of diverse people who have diverse opinions. This reflective assignment offers you the opportunity to expand your reflective skills and develop group skills (active listening, effective questioning, critical thinking) which are essential in social and cultural enterprises. Being a reflective, critical thinker is a lifelong learning skill as we continue to learn from each experience and our encounters with people who have different ways of thinking. You may also find this to be useful in your university studies.

• How will my reflective response be marked? Isn’t it too individual to be assessed? Your reflective writing will be marked according to the rubric, which we strongly encourage you to read before and while you write your reflective pieces. The rubric sets out what

we expect according to a set of criteria, and bases marks on how well you respond to each criterion. While everyone’s reflective writing will be different – and while reflections are and should be very individual – the rubric is the basis for how we will mark the assignment.

·        I have never done a reflective assignment in a university course – will you provide some advice and some examples?

Yes! We will provide examples of the reflective process in class and practise reflection skills in the interactive workshops. Check the Reflective Thinking and Writing Guide for writing tips. We will have links to materials that will help you understand the skills involved (especially in relation to social and cultural entrepreneurship) and support you to practice reflection in a peer setting (such as how to use questions to reflect with colleagues).

·        What should we reflect on in our reflection tasks?

You will be provided with reflection points that you can think about and discuss. You can use the ideas from class discussions to structure your reflections.
