Guidelines for Reflective Learning Journey

Guidelines for Reflective Learning Journey

Reflection is an essential process in the process of learning. It allows a person to review their
needs for change in practice and assists in implementing a change in practice and combat
stagnation (Beck 1996). It is crucial to engage in systematic reflection by making it an integral
part of one's regular practice. A journal acts as a tool to ensure time is set aside for regular
reflection (Larrivee & Cooper 2006).

At the end of each workshop, participants will be asked to complete a set of reflective questions

related to what they have learnt in the session. Participants will need to reflect on how they can
apply the knowledge and skills into their work, based on the Entrepreneurial Cycle developed
by Po Chung (2016). The cycle provides the foundation for an entrepreneur to reflect on his
current situation and plan to achieve what he wants to achieve. In a broader sense, the method
can be applied to manage an entrepreneur's organisation.

Today Tomorrow
Where I am? Where I want to be?
Who I am? action Who I want to be?
How I am? How I want to be?

The Entrepreneurial Cycle has four parts–
