STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES IN A SELF‐REFLECTION ESSAY
I have been a thinker always. All through my course of study, I have sharpened
my skills of critical thinking. Instead of majoring in proposed meanings, I have taught
myself to ask ‘why’ continuously on several levels. I give myself the task of digging deep
to understand details in given issues, especially in incorporating a change through
adopting the Kotter’s change model in an organization, which involves creating a sense
of urgency, building a guiding coalition (Small, 2016). Further, the model requires
coming up with a strategic initiative and vision, enabling a volunteer-oriented army,
approving of actions by removal of impending obstacles, sustaining acceleration,
approving of short-term wins, and making the changes to stick.
The scholar-practitioner concept is at the center of every leaner’s experience.
Through the Kotter’s change model, students are encouraged not just to become
consumers of knowledge, but change agents also who can be capable of contributing to
the advancement of communities, society, organizations, and individuals (Axelrod,
2017). Scholar-practitioner minimizes the gap between the world and the academia,
blending the practical application with scholarly research to solve problems that are
complex in their profession. As a student, I have learned that I will go beyond the
theoretical aspects to challenge the assumptions available, ask emerging questions and
create solutions that are strategic and innovative necessary for immediate use to elevate
and inform practice in a given field.
