Reflective account of team role and personality preferences.
You should use Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle as a structure for the reflective account, and include the following sections
1. The experience
Outline how your team approached the task. How did you communicate? How were differences of opinion resolved? How were decisions made? How were roles allocated?
2. Your reflection (Feelings – What did I experience?
What did you find encouraging and positive, and what did you find difficult? What were some of the things that got in the way of success? What were some things that helped you succeed? What could you have done differently to improve the situation?
3. Conceptualisation
Use your understanding of your own personality and team role preferences to identify why you found some aspects of the team project more difficult, and other aspects more enjoyable. Use the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and Belbin Team Roles evaluations and identify your own personal ‘type’ and preferred ‘team role’. Relate these to your experience and reflections on the team project.
