Initially I felt I was “thrown in at the deep end”
I now felt focused and was no longer experiencing the affects of non-productivity
I collected valuable data that facilitated progression of my project to the next stage

“Experiential learning involves a direct encounter with the phenomena being studied rather than merely thinking about the encounter or only thinking about the possibility of doing something about it”
![Page 10: A PhD Students reflection on the first six months of research Tina Fanneran](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5515f323550346a2308b45a6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
My learning could be described as experiential as it is “education that occurs as a direct participation in the events of life” (Smith, 2001)
Reflecting on my supervisor’s reactions to my uncertainties leads me to believe that they were revealing their competence as professional researchers demonstrating their ability to “think on their feet” (Schon, 1991)

Reflecting on my learning experiences has allowed me to develop professionally and personally.
I have developed an ability to understand how I learn and apply this understanding to new learning encounters.
I have learned to understand my emotional reactions to my project and not allow them to impede its progress
I have learned to trust my supervisor’s intuitions regarding my research
