The personal application assignment is based on Kolbs model
(1971) of experiential learning. The use of this model can help solve the
problem of performance assessment. The model argues that learning occurs
through a process which might begin with a concrete experience, which leads to
reflective observation about the experience. Abstract conceptualization follows
in which models, paradigms, strategies, and metaphors are applied to the results
of the experience. Active experimentation concludes the cycle as the concepts
are then put into practice, thus generating new concrete experience.
Choosing a good topic is essential. Select an experience
that relates to the assigned course topics. It should be an experience that you
would like to understand better, (e.g. there was something about it that you do
not totally understand, that intrigues you, that made you realize that you
lacked certain managerial skills, or that was problematical or significant for
you.) The topic must be meaty enough to take it through the entire learning
cycle. I recommend identifying your plot and then outlining the paper across
all four elements to see if this topic will work. The incident does not have to
be work related; an incident in any setting (sport teams, school, family, club,
church, etc.) that relates to the course topics is acceptable.
