After undertaking the self-assessment, the student should use these responses to answer the following questions;
1. Provide a summary of the results from the self-assessment tool.
Never Sometimes Fairly Often/ Pretty Always/ Very Well
/Occasionally Well
Number of
responses 0 3 3 4
2. Do you think this is an accurate reflection of your social and cultural perspectives and biases? Why or Why not.
Yes, this is an accurate reflection of my social and cultural perspectives and biases because it reflects my own point
of view regarding the circumstances and reflections mentioned in the self assessment tool.

3. Reflect on the statements that were allocated a “Never or Sometimes/Occasionally” response. What are the
themes where your ‘self and social awareness’ may be limited?
The themes include checking my assumptions, challenging stereotypes and encounter with the aboriginal or
coloured skin people.

4. Identify types of activities you can engage in to improve your own self and social awareness. Your goal should
be to alter your responses from “Never” or “Sometimes/Occasionally” to a “Fairly often/Pretty Well” or
“Always/very well.”
 I can do research and discuss with other persons about the cultures and ethnicity of their cultures.
 I can identify stereotype thinking and overcome it.
 I can socialize or contact with people with different cultures and skin colour in order to be unbiased.

5. How can these strategies improve your ability to respect diversity and work inclusively with an understanding
of others?
These strategies improve my ability to respect diversity and work inclusively with an understanding of other peoples
having different cultural values and ethnicity which makes them unique yet interesting to know about them and vast
my knowledge about different cultures and seeing everyone equal.
