Abstract
Each one experiences an incentive and a journey through the lenses of our paradigms
with a unique way. Reflecting on those paradigms and the procedure of questioning the
accuracy of those ‘mental maps’ during an advanced academic qualification, will
contribute to the development of an academic identity. The ignorance of the existence of
those ‘maps’ slows down the process of self-knowledge and self-development. Reflection
on the things that generate dilemmas, conflicts, risks and uncertainty becomes
fundamental during a DBA journey as it may eventually lead to an outcome. People
would get the best out of a reflected action while writing a learning journal. Reflecting on
the understanding and the representation of the understanding is very crucial in the
development of critical thinking and general questioning.
