Week 6: Final Reflection During the course of the three days spent in the skills lab, I was able to foster an inclusive atmosphere with the other participants, which was one of the most valuable lessons I took away from the experience. I drafted the rules for the group with the help of the other members. By establishing the ground rule that everyone should engage to the extent of their talents and comfort level, I was able to accommodate the requirements of members who may be more reserved. I was able to show that I am accepting of other perspectives, and I was successful in eliciting information from people about their cultural and spiritual upbringing. When the member expressed uncertainty, I was able to reassure them and let them know that they were already advocating for themselves. I was also able to give support to the member. I made sure that the member who role-played was in a secure setting that I provided. During the role play, I was also able to display my listening abilities and provide validation to the other participant. This presentation proved that I am prepared to join the field of social work since it demonstrated that I am capable of acting in a professional manner and communicating well with a variety of individuals. I was also able to show that I am capable of working with folks that come from a variety of backgrounds and have a variety of requirements. My ability to exercise patience and remain calm under pressure was put to the test throughout this demonstration. In addition to that, I demonstrated that I am capable of working without supervision and that I am resourceful. In general, my demonstration indicated that I have the abilities and traits that are essential to be successful in field experience as a social studies student. These are the skills and qualities that are necessary to be successful in field experience. I will be cognizant of my own personal prejudices and preconceptions when I look for chances to collaborate with a wide range of audiences, and I will actively seek out such possibilities. I commit to treating the distinctive experiences and points of view of each person with dignity and courtesy, and to doing all in my power to ensure that everyone feels comfortable in the space we share. When I am planning a study project, for instance, I will make sure to take into mind the need that we include a diverse variety of points of view. I will check that the size of my sample is sufficient to get a cross-sectional sample that is representative of the population that I am researching. In addition, make it a priority to include people from a variety of different backgrounds in the participation pool. In addition, I will use strategies for data gathering that are considerate of the time and privacy of all individuals, as well as those that permit the full participation of all individuals. I will also make it a point to look for professional development opportunities that are relevant to inclusion, as a means of ensuring that I am able to keep gaining knowledge and experience in this field.
