Answer

PART B:
1. Introduction
1.1 Reflective practice
The article utilized in the research assignment emphasizes on reporting about the personal reflection of a profession in the implementation of IoT through a service-centric architecture of blockchain. It deals with the personal reflection of the profession in delivering a chance for acquiring the additional measurement of understandings related to the reflection of the assignment subject on the researcher's personal experiences.

The reflective practice in understanding the research assignment on critical terms initiates the ability for reflecting on a person’s action for engaging in a process of continuous learning method. It pays critically determined attention to the values and theories of the practice which provides information for regular day-to-day- knowledge. It enhances the understanding approach of the individuals in shaping and reshaping the examining practices in terms of reflexive and reflective methods (Anderman, 2018). The reflective practice in the research assignment is mainly concerned with a reflection of perspective in understanding the challenges faced by the researcher while conducting the research.

1.2 A critical discussion of challenges that are encountered within the construction of each proposal section
The researcher faced various challenges while constructing each section of his proposal.

1.3 Background, context, and rationale
The researcher encountered challenges while describing the contextual background and rationale of his research. Several factors of limitations in gathering sufficient data regarding the particular topic-initiated problems in constructing the rationale in a very specific term (Berger, 2018).

1.4 Aims and objectives
The aims and objectives of the research assignment also encountered a lot of challenges as there was a lack of sufficient data in constructing the actual research scenario.

2. Literature review
The literature review of the research assignment aimed at various understandings of the gathered data in terms of providing relevance and motivation to the learners (Braun, et al., 2019). But, as it is an uncommon topic, providing sufficient motivation and relevance was a hard job to do. Although the researcher provided a clear understanding of the literature review. On getting into deeper investigation regarding the topic there were many things I came across, I tried to gather up all the information’s and started taking notes on them, while doing so I got a lot of information’s but everything wasn’t relevant hence it was a time taking process in segregating the important ones and writing the relevant points. After gathering a detailed theoretical knowledge, I wanted to gather some practical knowledge as it gave me a clearer concept in understanding the research, I contacted one of my seniors who was into IT, he helped me to understand the terms and find relevant information with supporting facts and examples. I had to do a diverse study, once thought of changing the topic but somehow found it to be interesting and knowledgeable moving further (Brennen, 2017).

3. Methodology
The methodology of the research was based on secondary data collection which acted as a challenge for not being able to participatory observational facilities while conducting the research (Brennen, 2017). Still the researcher provided a clear understanding of the sources of knowledge in the literature review so that learners can understand the research outcomes.

3.1 Smart objectives
The smart objectives were obtained by the researcher to set a goal for the research. It involved certain points that are to be reflected in the research. It brought out a clear understanding of the deliverable outcomes and the further scope of the research assignment. 

3.2 Risk assessment
The risk assessment within the research focused on the available resources and sustainable economic conditions for dealing with the costs (Coldwell, et al., 2017). It interpreted a clearer view of the financial analysis for attaining sustainability in business for properly evaluating the research assignment. 

3.3 Critical discussion on interactive perspective as a reflection of performance
The research assignment interprets an interactive perspective as a reflection of performance through three aspects. They are discussions, interviews, and questioning. They are mainly concerned with the learning outcomes that are obtained through the implications of metacognitive strategies. It enhances the learning procedures by shared knowledge in a communicative way. They support the learners in achieving a clearer understanding regarding the research outcomes along with the revealing of their insights.

3.4 Valuing the reflection
Valuing reflections are nothing but deriving meaningful experiences from learning through their implementation into the practical life (Henwood, et al., 2016).

3.5 Setting up tones for reflection
Setting up tones for reflection is considered to be the practice in which reflective learning analyzes the outcomes of the research assignment critically.

4. A critical discussion of required skills for the successful construction of the proposal
The proposal of implementing the IoT within the service-centric system of blockchain architecture requires a set of certain skills for the construction of the research assignment proposal. It must involve conceptual, political, humanitarian, and technical skills (Ingersol, et al., 2018). The researcher must have basic knowledge in terms of the implementation of IoT in the blockchain architecture of service sectors. If he/she lacks such knowledge it would be impossible to conduct the research based on secondary data collection only.

5. Can you provide a critical discussion on the lessons learned from the research assignment?
5.1 Description
In conducting the proposed research assignment, the researcher had obtained the methodological format of qualitative analysis by implementing secondary research criteria. The research assignment was provided with a literature review on the particular topic of implementing IoT in service-centric blockchain architecture. The research proposal emphasized learning outcomes based on the reflection of the professional perspective for the learners. The researcher introduced an interactive perspective as a reflection of performance through three aspects. They are discussions, interviews, and questioning (O. Nyumba, et al., 2018). They are mainly concerned with the learning outcomes that are obtained through the implications of metacognitive strategies. It interpreted a clearer view of the financial analysis for attaining sustainability in business for accurately evaluating the research assignment.

It enhances the understanding approach of the individuals in shaping and reshaping the examining practices in terms of reflexive and reflective methods. The reflective practice in the research assignment is mainly concerned with a reflection of perspective in understanding the challenges faced by the researcher while conducting the research.

5.2 Feeling
The researcher had a feeling of an uncomforting mindset while conducting the research. It is because he was not clear about the learning outcomes he'll be getting in his course of action while conducting the research. he encountered various challenges as the topic is a new addition to the research world. Being a secondary researcher, he wasn't able to formulate any participatory observation. Hence, he was in a dilemma regarding the possible outcomes of the research and thought it would not match his formulated hypothesis or would not cover all the areas of the smart objectives (Pelch, et al., 2020). As it is an uncommon topic, providing sufficient motivation and relevance was a hard job to do. Although the researcher provided a clear understanding of the literature review.

5.3 Evaluation
The researcher discovered the experiences within the limitations of the research assignment in evaluating the personal reflective outcome. He addressed his limitation and inability to provide sufficient data within his research and also lack of time and reading. He enhanced critical discussion on each of his proposed research assignment structure. They are mainly concerned with the learning outcomes that are obtained through the implications of metacognitive strategies. It enhances the learning procedures by shared knowledge in a communicative way. They support the learners in achieving a clearer understanding regarding the research outcomes along with the revealing of their insights (Henwood, et al., 2016).

5.4 Analysis
The researcher focused on the analysis of his main findings through the incorporation of the SMART objectives. He targeted to specify the combination of the architecture of blockchain and service-centric networking or SCN for proposing solutions to ensure stability in access and global scalabilities. He attempted to measure the algorithms in determining the strategical performances of the ledger in transactions. He tried to attain the various models and algorithms and use them for predicting the outcomes and compare the results of his main findings (Ingersol, et al., 2018). He attempted to put relevance in the importance of his goals by addressing the lack of security, privacy, and trust in the existing models of security clouds for improving the experiences of the users. Lastly, he maintained the time-bound of the research assignment in terms of project planning within 60 weeks.

6. Critical discussion of your interaction and use of support tutors/peers/supervisors
My “research topic supervisor” helped me in understanding the practicality of my topic and helped me to obtain a better result while doing my research. He mostly made me focus on the objective, selection, and clarified my understanding and set a level of expectation from the research experience. The Program teaching staff gave me very helpful pieces of advice on how I should enrich my research and improve its quality.

The Teachers also helped in understanding the research topic and also clarified the doubts and made sure I understood the topic well and clarified all my queries intensely.

The best part was consulting with the staff as it was an enlightening experience for me, as “cybersecurity” studies were the topic of the day which interests me a lot. The teachers were extremely motivational. Group discussions with my peers helped me in getting a much-refined thought about the topic. It clarified my doubts helped to plan my work well (Coldwell, et al., 2017).

7. Conclusion and action plan
It can be concluded by saying that the researcher emphasized every aim and objective of the research outlined in the research assignment to bring out the learning outcomes.

But, for a reflective study to add as a beneficial factor to the learning process, the researcher must have adopted the following steps to conduct the research. he must include discussion and invention, secondary research processes, clarification of objectives, primary research processes, strategic planning, proper implementation, and reporting.
