In the words of Steve Jobbs, Sometimes when

you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to

admit them quickly, and get on with improving

your other innovations. (Brainy quote, 2012)

WHAT IS REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS

Gibbs (1988) identifies a 6 step process to aid reflectivepractice. He asks the questions;

1. Description what happened?

2. Feelings what were you thinking and feeling?

3. Evaluation what was good and bad about theexperience?

4. Analysis what sense can you make of the situation?

5. Conclusion what else could you have done?

6. Action planwhat will you do next time? (Gibbs, 1988)Unlike all the other models, Gibbs (1988) has taken intoaccount the emotional and feelings aspect of reflectivepractice.

Wilkins (1998) criticises the journalism

profession of doing rather than thinking.

Wilkins (1998) suggests two alternatives to

combating doing rather than thinking

either adjusting journalistic practices or

redefining the nature of journalism itself.

Kolb (1938) believes that learning is the

process whereby knowledge is created

through the transformation of experience.

Experiential learning is what transforms both

information and experience of a journalist into

knowledge (Kolb, 1938). The Kolb cycle, as can

be seen in the photo has four phases and thisis the cycle which leads to structured

reflective practice (Kolb, 1938).

THE PRACTICE OF HISTORY


12/20

Historical Interpretation

The conflict of the said ideas definitely affects how two books fromdifferent perspectives define a single word, history. From my ownpoint of view, I think it is a mixture of both, history or a part ofhistory must be observed from both an artistic view and a scientificview

The artistic view of it is why the people did it for example, more ofthe emotional side of it, because the word art is expression ofoneself or people as a whole. On the other hand, scientific viewfocuses on the facts on how, what at who did things.

From what I read, I think the only point of the said paragraphs isthat no matter if the article or the book one is reading is written

from an artistic or scientific view, either objective or subjective,what matters most is that we study history because it greatlyaffected the evolution of things and how and why things turned outthe way it did. ( Claudio)

The shadow of past events which are gone and

cannot be made to appear again.

. Historian should not fear bias; as a matter of

fact, he should be open about it. What historian

should avoid is twisting of facts to suit his

personal or group interest. The historian is like a judge, he listens to all

arguments, after which he renders his decision.

Interpretation is not right or wrong; it is eithervalid or invalid. Its validity rests on its closeness

and relevance to the given facts (Mana-ay)

History as Humanities

A good teacher is the one that can make the past comealive and make the student imagine what happen inthe past. On the other hand a bad teacher is the onewho just teaches the dates locations etc. of an

important event- (Martillana)

History becomes the study of humanity because theperson gives meaning, life and significance on adifferent way of re-creating the past. History affects the

life of the historians because they are the one who re-creates the past, and they understand deeply whathappens in events in the past. (Cruz)

History is not all about studying and memorizingdates and names but also to understand what isthe meaning of the events and what for (

Elumbra) In social science, he also mentioned that it is not

necessary to be literary in order to be great,although there are social scientists who are good

writers. That for a historian to be recognized asgreat, he must have a style that is once clear,flowing, and charming (Fallarme)


16/20

Literature as History

History needed a proper understanding andappreciation of literature while so much literature isneeded to make history which means history andliterature are relates together (Coscos)

Through literary works we were able to know the socialand economic condition of different eras (Delara)

People who used these literary works as source ofhistory should keep in mind that compared to

historians, literary artist has unlimited imagination andso they must not carelessly accept everything that theynarrate. (Delara)

It may not be as realistic and accurate as any

autobiography but still can teach us a lesson

that somehow entail some of the hiddenhistory of the world (Laja)

Literature represents a part of the history. It

shows the timeline of the history. Literature ishistory because it contains ideas, event, and

feelings of the people in the past(---?)

History as a Vehicle of Cultural

Development

know how the people behave, how other peopleinfluence our people way back then. Be culture is acomplex idea, you will learn it but its not that easy.Our mind cant just know that a thing happened by just

reading it from a single context. History was used as avehicle or a tool or instrument or whatever to help usfeel , not only to know but to realize, re-live,

History will let people evolve

Through history humanity evolves by learning the pastthe culture adapts on whats on the present and let thehistory guide them (Monton)


19/20

The Filipino culture is a summation of foreign

influences and native forces. These foreigncontribute the shaping of our culture

I hope that modernization can't bind any

beliefs that we acquire from the history. Wemust not just read it from a history book, but

learn to enhance and educate the young

Filipinos who need to learn the culture wehave (Primavera)
