Core Competencies Self Reflection

Economics 12

The assignment I chose was my foreign economies project. This project is one that shows many different core competencies and how I displayed them as well. Due to the fact that this was a partner project, I was able to effectively communicate with my partner in order to generate our best work. Whenever, either one of us had questions or ideas we were able to effectively communicate those so that we were both on the same page and both of our ideas were included in the project. During the course of this project, I was also able to use both my critical and creative thinking skills as well as build on them. I used creative thinking skills during the design process of the project, in order to decide how the layout should look and what photos an colours to use etc. My critical thinking was used when doing the research because I had to focus and decide what aspects of my research were needed and what parts were extra information that wasn’t necessary to keep in the project. I was also able to question aspects of my research to further understand the concepts not only for me to understand but to also make it easier for my class to understand when I presented the project as well.

Socials Core Competency Self Assessment

Critical and Reflective Thinking

In Socials 10 this year I am able to go through all assignments and reflect on my thinking or creation of any task and assignment and figure out ways that my thinking can be more descriptive and detailed and show my work or thoughts in a better way in order to excel and complete / hand in my best work. In order to do that I question and challenge aspects of my work in order to see it from different perspectives and create better work overall. If I do find any discrepancies within my work I’m able to redesign and create new ideas while still following the criteria and conducting new ideas. To show my ability to do this I’ve selected a poster project I created on the Persons Case with a partner. This project shows my critical thinking abilities because this project required a lot of re-evaluating in order to condense our project to meet the limited word count. To do that I went through all my work and questioned if it was really adding any new or different information that hadn’t been covered and figuring whether or not to include it or not. I was also able to look at this assignment from different perspectives to understand many of the aspects included even any subliminal ones that may not be noticed at first.
