  3. Reflection, reflection... Blah, blah, blah Reflecting on or during some experience in the light of know theoretical concepts or previous learning should lead to new insights into different aspects of that situation Outcome of reflection = LEARNING (Meziros, 1981)

  4. The Proper Definition • Kemmis (1985) the process of reflection is more than a process that focuses 'on the head'. It is a positiveactive process that reviews, analyses and evaluates experiences, draws on theoretical concepts or previous learning and so provides an action plan for future experiences. • Johns (1995) adds that reflection is a personal process enables the practitioner to assess understand and learn through their experiences. This results in some change for the individual in their perspective of a situation or creates new learning for the individual.

  5. Types of Reflection Schön (1987): • Reflection-in-action (thinking on your feet) • Reflection-on-action (retrospective thinking)

  6. For proper reflection, you need: GOOD ATTITUDE: • Open minded’ness • Commitment to self enquiry • Readiness to change practice • Motivation (Richardson & Maltby 1995, Gillings 2000)

  7. For proper reflection, you need: SKILLS: • Information – description or observation • Self Awareness – openness, honesty, feelings • Critical Thinking – analysis, describing own thought processes • Evaluation – synthesis of above three, describing what needs to be learned, why and how. (Richardson & Maltby 1995) = the ISCE criteria
