ORGL 3050. Korthagen & Vasalos. Self-Transformation through Core Qualities

Putting the feedback loop together with your own Degree Plan and larger goals in the onion model, we can use Korthagen and Vasalos’ conceptual framework to reflect on specific “core qualities” that you would like to develop within yourself. This idea of self-transformation and cultivating new qualities and new knowledge for yourself is going to be a key aspect of the last Reflective Seminar you will do, ORGL 4000, and the Capstone course, ORGL 4690.

From: Korthagen, Fred A.J., & Vasalos, Angelo (2010). Going to the core: Deepening reflection by connecting the person to the profession (Chapter 27, in Nona Lyons (Ed.) Handbook of Reflection and Reflective Inquiry. New York: Springer.)

Don’t worry if you don’t feel like you have a full understanding of all of these conceptual models at this time, the idea is to give you a sense of the big picture. As you progress through the Discussions and Assignment Tools, you will gain a deeper understanding of the various models. You will find there are specific models that actually work better for the different Reflective Seminars, and for the Capstone.
