Answer: His thinking process about his role illustrates reflexivity.
Explanation:
Reflexivity is one of the most important characteristics of a good researcher. It stands for a researcher's frequent reflection upon the research process. If someone practices reflexivity, it usually means that he/she is self-aware. Reflexivity can be practiced through keeping a journal, having a conversation with the colleagues/participants, or continually reflecting on the research process. <em>Attia and Edge</em> (2016) argue that reflexivity can be displayed in two ways:
- <em>prospective</em>, which refers to the researcher's impact on the study
- <em>retrospective</em>, which involves the effect of the study on the researcher.
Venetian explorer, Marco Polo, told his cellmate during his imprisonment after the Venetian-Genoese War about his travels to the Far East. These accounts became a book , later entitled "The Travels of Marco Polo" which was influential in sparking people's curiosity of the East.
The first impact was that Marco Polo was able to bring elements of Western culture to the East and Eastern culture back to the West. Because of his exploration Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, and India, China began to experience Western culture.
Next, Marco Polo's interactions with Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan led to commercial exchange with Western merchants who were now arriving in China. This increased Chinese's growth as a civilization.
The Silk Road, an easier route to travel around the Gobi Desert, traced by the Polos had a huge effect in the future of European and Chinese interaction. It would prove to be a more effective route than to sail the oceans to China.
