1.0 Introduction

Reflective system means the oral and drawn story which will describe separate experiences to a person who understands knowledge and art learning theories (James, 2018). Moreover, reflection can describe the influence of experience and situation or future project goals. Also, it analyses many experiences, deep thoughts, and acumen (Bruce, 2017).

This narration appreciates so many abilities of mine which are connected to this course work and many experiences of gaining through my practices.

2.0 How we have developed our team

To develop our team, we experienced a lot of theories but the Tuckman’s team development theory is more applicable in this situation. According to Joshua (2018), this theory describes five stages that teams may grow through. These are forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The first stage of this theory is forming (Philip, 2018). This is an introduction theory. By using this stage, we got to know each other and tried to make a good impression on others. In this stage, we also developed our trust in our teammates and got to know the team members’ many weaknesses and strengths. In the storming stage, we came to know many flaws of team members. We knew the friction and downfall of team members. In the next stage which is norming, stage is all about correcting the flaws, and friction also got flexible and every team member knew they are role-playing their work. In the performing stage, we performed and presented ourselves very gracefully and promoted a method that made team goals skillfully. The last stage of this theory is adjourning and it is all about the emotions and the feelings throughout the group work.

Belbin’s team role theory has explained the different and individual roles in group work. This theory has presented several roles of teamwork. These are plant, resource investigators, sharper, specialist, team worker, finisher, coordinator, implemental, and so on (Ross, 2017). Each of the roles has a significant impact on teamwork. In my course work, first I worked teamwork where I could understand my teammate’s feelings and be a trusted person, social-oriented and diplomatic. This is an ability to promote team spirit and many situations. Then, I wanted to work at a plant where I could have genius imagination, intellectual thinking.

This theory is known as social work practice theory which concentrates on separate strength and self-realization in teamwork.

A person’s self-concept and self-opinion are based on his/her membership or social group which refers to the social identity theory. This theory was developed by Tajfel. According to Saul (2018), this theory is applied to three rareness strategies. These are social creativity, social competition, and individual mobility. In our teamwork, the main challenges came from a social competition. This is because every team member including me didn’t have much idea about the competition. This society is full of competition but everyone especially I have faced this social competition.
