Total internal reflection

Introduction The purpose of this report is for me to develop critical awareness and self-reflection of core social welfare competencies experienced while volunteering with the Healthy Living for Seniors Program (HLSP). The HLSP is a UnitingCare community day program for people over the age of 65 years thus the field of practice is “aged care” (Chenoweth & McAuliffe 2012, p. 141). The program is designed to support the health and wellbeing of their clients through a focus on social participation,…

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…

glass are all entities that can show the effect of reflection. Reflection is not just the glare or the throwing back by body or light. It can also show the ways of a current feeling or how you are physically. Reflection in The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a major symbol throughout the novel. It displays how characters are viewed, discovers real identity, and the effects of lives it has continuously during the reading. The symbol reflection is very important and carries many…

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…

Advance Tech Writing Reflection/Team Reflection Imagine that you recently had a car accident and you were partially responsible. If you had to write and tell your parents about the accident, what might you say? Imagine how you might tell the story differently to your friends, or insurance company. Which details would you share with each group and which would you leave out? Would the order in which you told the various details be different? As one can see in this story, the way the story is told…

“In general, reflective practice is understood as the process of learning through and from experience towards gaining new insights of self and/or practice” (Boud et al 1985; Boyd and Fales, 1983; Mezirow, 1981, Jarvis, 1992). Dewey (1933) was the first to really describe and define reflective practice. He argued that it was an opportunity for people to move away from routine thinking to a critical consideration of knowledge (Finlay, 2008). Dewey started the concept but for the purpose of…

Reflection commentary of coaching skills This reflection commentary will consider the use of the: Outcome; Scaling: Know – how and Resources; Affirm and Action and Review (OSKAR) model scaling strategy (Jackson & McKergow, 2006, p. 138) during a coaching intervention with a work colleague (hereafter called the ‘participant’). My commentary will explore the interaction. It will examine if any learning took place for the participant or myself, as well as the appropriateness of the OSKAR scaling…

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…

We had the opportunity to test out our group and teamwork skills, identify our individual shortcomings as well as our weaknesses as a group and work towards producing an outstanding piece of work. While working on the task, I took advantage of the opportunity to reflect upon my interpersonal and communication skills. M. Bambacas and M. Patrickson (2008, p.52) argue that “Interpersonal communication explains "the means" by which organisational activities, such as managing, controlling, planning,…
