This week, I'd like to share what I learned about reflections from decades of using it out of my desire to know what happened and what should be the next move ka.
I think my love of doing so might have come from a one-time opportunity to be trained on, 'Monitoring and Evaluation' by UNICEF. It could seem to be that it has been in my brain all along without my being that aware.
In any case, I used it a lot after each project/activity was done and it needed patience to keep it going as decades ago, calling an evaluation session was seen as 'blaming time' and Thais tend to 'take it personal' to the point that some could be real upset. After some time, my team started to ask for it ka. I learned and got some skills with them too.
I used 'Reflect' 3 times to show the magic of the number 3 which could help people be more concise. I also wish to share how this technique has helped us learn more about others plus three types of Reflections that I have used ka.
1. Regular reflections to identify our lessons learned especially those more abstract about cross-culture to enhance our intercultural understanding
2. Double reflections which is to reflect what has been reflected to synthesize and crystalize people's thoughts and inner feelings
3. Before and After Reflections is for each participant to assess their own intercultural competence before they start their exchange and after some period of time the same rating is used for them to do which can identify their personal growth ka.
Sharing my own little theories drawn from the past 3 decades in case it could be useful to those in international cooperation and beyond ka.
