Context

As you now know, a key to self-directed learning is reflection. Reflection enables the ability to

examine situations in order to better understand the surrounding context and identify potential

improvements for the future. This assessment task builds on assessment 1 and aims to develop your

awareness and reflective learning ability while also assessing your understanding of your Gallup

Strengths identified in module 3. As with assessment 1, your journal entry must be written in the

first person and you should try to be as open and honest with yourself as you can.
