Reflections

must be able to self reflect and learn from their own success and mistakes. I have used reflection with younger students with questions like, do you think you understand what was taught? But now I realize, that was surface stuff. How DO we teach them to be reflective learners? That was the question posed on Twitter awhile ago. My tendency is to have kids write responses to prompts that would spur reflection. But then I began to think about my own process. 
 It isn’t written. Not at…

like? How can we tell if a mother is ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Introduction A majority of reflective writing is normally presented in a personal reflection essay format. In summary, a personal reflection is a reaction to a specific incentive. Habitually, it is written by a person with the aim of discovering personal experiences, emotional state and events. A personal reflection is basically an opportunity to review events, opinions and feelings from a fresh standpoint. A majority of blog posts are…

EBL Reflection Kolb’s Learning Cycle includes concrete experience (having an experience), reflective observation (reflecting on the experience), abstract conceptualisation (concluding and learning from the experience) and, active experimentation (creating an action plan). ((Kolb’s Learning Cycle) n.d.) I have chosen Kolb’s learning cycle for this reflection as I believe it to be the most suitable model for the nature of the reflection as it includes chance to create an action plan for the…

quite right about them, I was able to point out things that I, as a writer, liked about what I had done and things that I thought could be re-thought, and things that I, as a reader, liked and disliked about my story. I would be able to take this reflection of my story, and rewrite it, fixing all the mistakes without changing the good things, which would help me improve my writing in general and help me be more critical of my…

1) Mr. K what do you mean by you do not know how much longer you can go on? My rational for asking him what does he mean that he cannot go on, is because he sounds like he is talking about suicide. As a social worker this is something that I want to be clear about. I think that he might respond to this question by answering it in a very specific way. Mr. K is very emotional right now therefore he need help, by me asking him about himself I think that he would be open to answering me with any…

It was also a chance to analyse and recognise anything that needed to change in order to improve the quality of care provided. One particular reflection produced the opportunity to reflect on confidence. This was an area that had grown considerably within personal care. The reflection process helps to deepen the understanding of the fundamental aspect of building a relationship with the patient; this is something that should not be underestimated like it is by…

In this assignment I will reflect on team working during our care pathway group project and its implications for practice. Reflection is important due to the way that healthcare professionals develop their practice by learning from their experiences, as well as how it benefits one’s professional development (Jasper et al 2013). This is further supported by The Health and Care Professions Councils’ (HCPC) code of conduct which instructs that a registrant must “keep your professional knowledge and…

is fading, the eyes, which were once so full of emotion, are fading. I am becoming dull and lifeless, day by day. I sometimes wonder what this small prevailing object thinks of me, it is the one thing in my life that is truthful; unbiased in its reflection of the world and people. I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions. Whatever I see I swallow immediately…

scientists (Ellis, S., Carette, B., Anseel, F., & Lievens, F. 2014) found that through systematic reflection, one can learn from failures, as well as, learn from our successes. When people reflected and analyzed the decision that produced their performance outcomes, they were able to learn from their experience, from both a positive and negative one. After a failed experience, providing any kind of reflection contributes to one’s progress. When…

Personal reflective account I have chosen to use Kolb 's (1931) experiential learning model of reflection to reflect on my personal experience of moving house. I considered this to be the best model to assist me in reflecting on my experience as it allowed me to reflect on what happened, what my experience was, why it happened and what I will do when/if it happened again (McLeod, 2010). What happened? I lived with my parents for 20 years, we had always lived in the same house, so I had never…
