The motivation for this study comes from a personal interest of mine. Particularly, in gaining a better understanding of the term professionalism. My argument is that professionalism can be applicable to any daily life circumstance. This study investigates the term ‘professionalism’ in my multiple roles as a student, a researcher and a team-member working on an action research project. For this study, I use the concept professional capital and its three dimensions of human, social and decisional to inform the literature review and analysis of my findings. These findings are developed by applying reflexive thematic analysis to five critical incidents that represent my experience of working on the action research project. The themes that I work with are: Recognizing the situation of feeling like ‘a-fish-out-of-water’; the need for better communication, roles and responsibilities; the need for reassurance and support and guidance to carry out instructions; the importance of self-learning and reflection on existing knowledge; and the need to value my own personal experience, performance and participation. I conclude by presenting what I have learned from this study and possible research I can build on in the future.
