Abstract
The point addressed in this research document is the Importance of Planning and Reflection Skills at Postgraduate Level and also an assumption that post graduate students acquire planning and critical reflection skills automatically during their post graduate studies.
Planning, critical thinking and reflecting are the pillars of the postgraduate study, managerial work and continuing professional development (CPD).
“It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience it may quickly be forgotten, or its learning potential lost. It is from the feelings and thoughts emerging from this reflection that generalizations or concepts can be generated. And it is generalizations that allow new situations to be tackled effectively.” (Gibbs 1988)
Reflection is a key element in any successful planning.
You are probably a successful graduate and already have many of the skills required for postgraduate study. But there are some skills that assessed more stringently at postgraduate level, like planning and reflection skills.
Task 1: Development of a Research Strategy
Assignments are designed to allow you to demonstrate your understanding
