CONCEPT OF REFLECTIVE PRACTICE

Reflective Practice is “the capacity to reflect

on action so as to engage in a process of continuous learning”. It

and theories which inform every day actions by examining practice

reflectively and reflexively.

Reflective Practice can be an important bol

in practice based professional learning setting where individuals learning

from their own-professional experiences rather than from formal

teaching or knowledge transfer may be the most important source of

personal & professional development. The concept of Reflective

Practice centers around the idea of life long learning in which a

practitioner analyses experiences in order to learn from. However it is

important to note that events experience, and events retold hold their

own importance.

Reflective Practice also works at an

organizational level and can help facilitate insight that might otherwise

be missed. Progress to some group per review, when you feel confident

to close. Sharing our reflections with others is an courage as ;

You share your experiences and learning with others. So they can

management include:
