Self Assessment Reflection

The strong leader recognizes that an important part of information management is reflection. This self-assessment should include personal biases, desires, and preferences. Looking past personal perspectives and reviewing the data within the context out of which it arises deepens the objectivity and clarity with which the leader can observe and assess the data. Critical components that should be carefully accommodated in this reflective self-assessment are: personal biases, current mental models, individual needs, past practices, self-fulfilling expectations, wish listing and prescriptive deliberation. As for my personal biases, I have learned over the years that they are very good yardsticks for me to look at an issue and to know clearly how I feel about it, but I have always known what I think and what I feel are often different than my colleagues and my patients. I use this to keep my mind open to others whose views are different than mine and I use them to approach and analyze situations, but never to influence the decisions or behavior of others. A specific example is that of a woman’s right to choose: I am anti-abortion for myself as a woman but I support safe health care for all women. Current mental models vary from facility to facility and evolve over time. My career has spanned 34 years and I too have evolved during this time. Today, I feel I am working in much more of a collegial culture and one which is at least attempting to embrace diversity

I've learned to become more attentive and conscientious of my weaknesses. I use my strength of persistence and diligence to resolve problems I find to be arduous. Two years ago, I was not meticulous, but now I've learned that every detail counts. It is not only about working hard, but it's also about working smart. It's about acknowledging my weaknesses and toiling until they are no longer my weaknesses. Math homework was never at the top of my priority list, but after identifying that as an obstacle in my success, I immediately altered the way I approached it. Math homework routinely became the first task I set out to finish when I arrived home. If there were extra assignments, I always finished them. Receiving a test that's covered with red marks, meant that I needed to understand what I did wrong. I started reaching out to my teachers and peers for their help and support. We created catchy chants for topics like Domain and Range. Overall, I would not have passed if I looked at my failure as a defeat rather than a delay and my goal as an outcome rather than a learning

Self-assessment is a natural progression and grows out of peer assessment. It allows the students to examine their own work and discover strengths and weaknesses for themselves. This can be carried out through reflective practice through a diary of learning or learning log that allows the student to see progression and reflect upon the journey. It's important to incorporate some aspect of self-assessment every day, if possible, in order for students to take responsibility and interest in their abilities. Another way of using self-assessment is by asking the students to give themselves a grade on the work that they have completed before handing in the work to the marking criteria set, or for student looks at their assignment and marks green for questions that they feels confident about, yellow for questions that they are unsure of and red for questions that will require help.

To properly plan and develop personal and professional development for the future, it is necessary to reflect on personal preferences, goals, past experiences, future goals, and motivation. The purpose of this paper is to provide a self-assessment through self-reflection and professional development planning in my health care career. I isolate my top three interests in organizational settings, discuss the importance of leadership, reflect on my motivations, cognition and organizational behavior, strategic planning and marketing, explore unfamiliar healthcare professions, review the importance of quality improvement and teamwork, uncover health disparities, and finally, reflect on health ethics. This will help me thoroughly

Thinking about this topic I found myself stuck in some aspects. Taking these tests and thinking about who I am to myself and my peers is not a regular thing I have thought about before. After assessing, I had learned things about myself that I have never noticed before, such as how independent I am, my honesty, my mean side, my less confident sides, and all my weird sides. While taking these tests I also had thought about how I was brought up into the world.

The assessments have somewhat helped me a lot in uncovering more of who I am as a person and student. I know now that more people may share identical personalities as others. I’m assure of the ideal personality that a person in my career should have. I’ve learned to be more social with other peers so more things can get accomplished.

After taking the self-assessment test, I realized what I needed, what I had and what I needed to acquire in order to be successful in my doctoral degree. Furthermore, the result of the assessment helped me understand who I am as a learner, and why exactly I am in this program. The assessment helped me acknowledge how bad my weaknesses were. Finally, the assessment helped clarify my mind on the areas of research that interest me. With the result of this assessment, I am confident now about successfully completing my doctoral degree.

Since I forced myself to stay motivated throughout the unit I was learning, I felt I was improving a lot than before. I knew most things in the unit and would mostly aced every quiz. I study harder each day, eliminating my distraction and thinking about it benefiting my grade. I was still procrastinating throughout my study, but this didn’t stop me for completing my goal which was to ace the test. At the end, I manage to actually get an A- and bring my grade up by a lot.

I scored a 19, which puts me in the average range, and gives me the advice that I may want to look for ways to waste a little less time. My hiccup with this is that I am way more people-oriented rather than task-oriented. In my book people are way more important than most things and therefore will trump those things. I also scored myself as almost daily for all the spacing out daydreaming questions. Ever since I was in elementary school I have had my head high up in the clouds, usually completely in my own universe. I feel like this may affect my success if it ever started hindering my performance, but I tend to only do when I have nothing else on my mind. In my opinion, this is definitely one of those areas that I am always trying to grow and mature

The progress of my writing has consisted of overcoming struggles as well as enhancing my strengths. Some in which will include style, organization, evidence, focused topic, etc. Undoubtedly, there are numerous elements of writing to establish a clear statement regarding the topic discussed. When I first started out as a reader, I mostly focused on the intention that the author wanted to describe. Previously, when forming an essay regarding the article it made me search for evidence that it was provided and the validation which supports it. Elements that I have concentrated and implemented onto the introductions that describe an overview of the topic along.

b) I had an RTC Score of 2.94, which means that I have average rating when it comes to resistance-to-change. I scored the following in each area: Routine Seeking- 2.20, Emotional Reaction- 4.00, Short-term Focus- 2.50, and Cognitive Rigidity 3.25.

Daily Burn is essentially the Netflix or Hulu of workouts. I have been trying it out and this is what I think about the service.

I saw a very big improvement in Master Self-Management and think is because I realize I have to be very serious in life and concentrate on what is going o benefit me and my family. Life is full of ups and downs but have to ups override the downs so I will have a better future. I spend most of my time doing very important things I'm very well organized in my daily activities. I have design a plan that works for me when I'm home which will not interfere with my family time. I also saw some improvement in my Adopting Lifelong Learning, I found a way to appreciate learning which is one thing I was scared of when I signed up for the class. I found out that in someway if my struggling there is always a

Every one has their subjects that they love and hate, and for it was defiantly writing. Writing is something I dreaded for a long time; I developed my hatred towards writing since probably elementary school. I hate writing when I’m expected to put a spin on a subject that just doesn’t work for me, personally. There are many times when I have papers due and sometimes I feel like I have nothing to say towards the topic. I could write a paragraph but to continuously write paragraphs after paragraphs it gets a little harder. I always contradict myself in my writings but that is something I have grown out of. Writing is time consuming and requires a lot of effort. They require a lot of planning and usually some accompanying reading and note taking. Taking notes is one of my weaknesses. In some intuitions like my high school for instances there was not enough time is given to the rough draft and not enough feedback is given before the essay receives a final grade. I personally believe that not everyone is a "natural-born" writer; but I do believe that everyone has the capability to become a decent writer.

The results of my self assessment were pretty accurate to what I know about myself. I have strong intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. I maintain strong relationships with others and think deeply about my life choices, goals, and ambitions. The only score that I thought would be higher was my musical score. I can play a musical instrument and I enjoy listening to music, but I don’t like to sing or play for others. Thinking back to my childhood, I was a linguistic learner. I followed directions well, if someone modeled how to do something, I could follow it and explain it back. I liked talking with someone personally to understand different concepts. The older I got, I was able to adapt to how my teachers’ taught. I had one teacher who loved using bodily-kinesthetic activities, I had other teachers who loved to sing and use logical-mathematical thinking. If I didn’t adjust to their styles of teaching, I wouldn’t have been successful in their class. I believe learning patterns can be altered because my learning pattern was altered. I’ve learned many different things from teachers who have different teaching styles. Teaching is an art and all teachers should use different teaching styles. Having a wide variety of teachers with different teaching styles made me a well rounded learner.
