this Assignment is reflection learning log about three activity we did in the class it must include critical reflection on my personal and academic theory should included too I have send a sample if you please can follow the same criteria and structure I will be appreciate it .
The log is a personal and analytical record of skill development gained through experiential learning. It is designed to encourage reflection on experience, and to enhance self awareness. The objective of the log is to enable students to focus on the development of their personal and professional skills and to develop these alongside the more theoretical focus of the rest of the programme. There should be eevidence of personal reflection on any activity undertaken and evidence that you will do something differently as a result of reflecting on that experience.

THIS SAMPLE OF ACTIVITY THREE FROM OTHER STUDENT WORK PLEASE NOTIC THIS SAMPL IS NOT PERFECT FOR ACTIVITY 3 PLEASE FOLLOW THE SAMPLE I will upload this just to let you know about what is the activity 3 about Randomia Balloon Factory
– Aim: To comprehend the importance of cross cultural differences.
Objectives:
– To examine the role of management from other background nations.
– To recognise the training values, limitations of workers from nation to another.
Background:
This activity was about the purchase of The Randomia Balloon Factory by the Richland Toy and Game Corporation. We did this interesting exercise as part of understanding diversity lecture. However, my role was known as a trainer coming over from Richland to oversee the production difficulties of the bought Randomia Balloon Factory in Randomia. Thus, cross-cultural implications should receive more attention, especially when it comes to operating oversees.
Process:
On the event, the class was divided into two groups: trainers and workers. As a trainer my colleagues and I were conducting an investigation upon the decrease of the production line in the factory. Before this we sat our objectives and the questions that we are likely to raise to determine the causes, and from where the investigation will start. At the end, we eventually met the workers in groups and individually to precisely examine the investigation outcome.
Analysis of Learning:
For me the cultural differences are something I myself went through, as a foreign student in different country, cultures and with the language barrier as well. Nonetheless, I have never witnessed those complications in the work place, which I personally think is more difficult rather than being a student, with healthier atmosphere in the university around me. Why is it important to be considered? This is because it plays a vital role when it comes to working with people from different backgrounds. As Reynolds and Valentine (2011) asserted that in some cultures, individualism is emphasised, while in others, collectivism is adapted resulting in gaining the best out of group rather than an individual effort.
On the other hand, as aforementioned the activity was very interesting, as I was picked along with other five students by tutor to represent trainers. Whereas, the rest of the class representing two third of the class were acting as workers in the Balloon Factory. Our task was to address the issue of shortage in the production line. Then, we had a short meeting to see what questions shall we raise, and to whom. Afterwards, we went into the stimulating factory and each one of us will speak to at least two or three workers individually. However, we were surprised by what we saw, as workers had barely made any eye-contact, so my first impression was that workers were blind! When we asked them certain questions, also no straightforward answer has been received. That twist make us use a different technique, as soon as we got back again the in factory trying to cross-examine key workers as well as the supervisor. We did not expect to see such a massive resilience from workers to speak up about their issues. Most importantly, in the last visit, we realised that the management is to blame for harsh conditions for workers, as workers were told by the management not to disclose any information, with respect to the reduction in the productivity. That illustrates the vital role which the management plays in terms of positively or negatively impacting the competitiveness and productivity among workers (Browaeys and Price, 2008). This leads us to the vivid fact that a satisfied worker can work more efficiently, which was not the case in the factory. Hence, as a trainer you have to ensure that workers receive a considerable support from managers, who have to know the value of workers within the organisation, emotions and their limitations.
Future Development:
For the future, I have to enhance my reflective instinct in regard to spotting problems and act upon them. This will make me become well-aware of the process of identifying issues, resulting in moving my concentration to the next level, which is how to address those concerns. Nevertheless, it is not an easy job to accomplish, but that might require more time and experience to be a professional trainers.
PLEASE FOLLOW THIS USFULE POINTS
1Focus on the ‘WHY’ in your analysis – consider reasons for actions/feelings and conditions/circumstances that underwrote or enabled them.
Development of SKILLS – longitudinal analysis
Whilst the accounts in the log should explain the activities and your involvement in these, the emphasis should be on discussion and analysis of the learning and skills development arising out of the experiences.
Unlike other assignments and reports, it is normally written in the first person, i.e. “I did this …I found that……”.
Students are still expected to make reference to theory in the log; for example, you may choose to discuss learning styles, your Belbin team role etc and if you do, these terms should be referenced.
It is important to be detailed and analytical in your comments especially in the analysis of learning. Try to write up your review and analysis of each activity promptly – it will be easier to do this while everything is fresh in your mind.
important to follow this format
The following is suggested as a format for each of the log activity elements : Activities
Objectives
This should clearly state your overall aim for the activity.e.g. “To develop my skill in managing conflict”. You should then present more detailed skill development objectives, highlighting particular skills, behaviours, knowledge etc that you wished to develop during the activity e.g. to develop effective questioning technique; to develop effective active listening skills; to communicate assertively when challenged. These are only examples and your own focus may be slightly different, however identifying particular skills will allow you analyse each of the aspects of the activity more thoroughly and to assess where further develop is required.
Background
This should ‘set the scene’ and give a concise background to the activity. What wass it, what led up to it, why was it happening? Your own background should also be mentioned: what previous experience have you had in this or similar activities? What was your own role in this activity: are you in charge of the event, assisting or advising someone else, or merely observing (note that none of these is any less valid than another – it serves to explain your role in the process.)
Process
A brief summary of the event. Try to set out what actually happened: who did what, when, who said what; how it ended – a factual account of the events as you saw them. Try to limit this to a single paragraph. The emphasis should be on the next section.

Analysis of Learning
This should be an account of your reflection on the activity and the learning points in terms of skills required. Refer to your learning objectives and try to have a detailed discussion of the skills, rather than just an overview. It should be analytical – break down the skills. For example, ‘negotiation’ is not just one skill – it involves preparation, listening, asking questions, seeking clarification, stating preferences, bargaining, summarising, checking understanding, etc.
Below are some questions to help you to reflect: your answers to these questions can be used to inform your write up of this section.
What did you do and why?
What went well and why?
What were the difficulties encountered? Why?
What was surprising to you?
What did you enjoy / not enjoy?
What did you notice about your feelings and reactions at the time? (feelings
obviously affect behaviour and can therefore affect skills and performance?
What did you observe about the behaviour of others? (good or bad)
How did you perform as a team? (if relevant)
What did you notice about others’ performance?
How did other groups perform as a team?
What would you do differently next time?
These are suggestions to help you to reflect – please note that these may not all be relevant for every activity and your log should be more than a list of answers to these questions
You should try to be honest, personal and critical in your comments on skills. You are not expected to completely develop complex skills having undertaking an activity once; the Learning Log is less concerned with the outcome of an activity and more with the learning process which you went through at the time and your subsequent reflection upon it. As such, the log is not about performance measurement – you will achieve a higher mark by reflecting on the learning from failure than by describing your success in an activity.
Future Development
Thinking about the learning points from the previous section and summarise here what aspects you still need to develop. Identify any future opportunities there might be to develop the skills involved. This should not be a ‘wish list’ –be realistic. What
