Experiential Learning: Reflective Report
Introduction
Learning is an essential contributor to individuals' personal and professional growth, and
various academic theories have distinct approaches to this subject. Experiential learning, known
as Kolb's reflective cycle, is one of the frameworks that emphasize empirical evidence as to the
primary learning instrument. Based on the substantial experience, Kolb's reflective cycle
introduces three additional stages of learning - thoughtful observation, abstract
conceptualization, and active experimentation (Nagle and Tzoc, 2022). These three concepts are
essential in experiential learning, laying the groundwork for reflective analysis. They help
learners better understand themselves through a lens of personal experiences. Ultimately, the
current reflective report summarises my personal and professional development based on Kolb's
reflective cycle.
Relationship with Yourself
In this section, I aim to highlight experiences of my personal and professional journey,
analyzing my self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Moreover, I want to reflect on the
relatively recent events since I am currently at the most challenging period of my life. I am a
thirty-three-year-old single mother, making every effort to raise my five-year-old daughter
properly. While I was initially optimistic about building a family, the recent events have taken a
physical and mental toll on me. My mother used to help me with household matters, such as
babysitting for my daughter and assisting me with housework. However, she has recently
collapsed with various illnesses, primarily affected by heart problems and dementia. I am doing
my best to balance my life around raising my daughter and caring for my mother, but it is
challenging.
