Reflection

Reflection and reflective practice are both a learning strategy and a means of promoting professional practice

Nearly every aspect of professional working life appears to be now prefixed by the word reflect

Reflective practice can be summarised as having three components experience-reflection-action termed the EA cycle

Jasper, M. 2003 Beginning Reflective Practice. Foundations in Nursing and Health Care. Cheltenham. Nelson-Thornes.

Why reflect?

• To assist us in bridging the gap between the science and the art of medicine

• To deconstruct and critically examine constructs

• Self-monitoring

• Deepens learning

• Can create paradigm shifts

Reflective Dialogue

• Description of an experience• Attendant feelings associated with that

experience• Reflective dialogue facilitates• Exploration at “the edge” of learning• Re-evaluation of experiences so that new

meanings, conceptions can be created and tested

• To look at things as potentially other than they may appear

Let’s reflect

• Start with question 1.1(a)

• Spend 2 minutes thinking about what you might record here

• Discuss in pairs

• Then read the example

More examples

More examples

• 6.28• Again spend a few minutes thinking• Then discuss in pairs

• Next read the example• This one is referenced – demonstrating

the sort of level the PGCertEd will require• Do you think this is achievable for you?

SEQ preparation – final thoughts

• It is a lot of work

• It’s much easier if you collect evidence throughout the year

• Involve you PMs

• It’s reflection on what has happened that the TSC are looking for

• Accreditation is applied from the day it was due to expire – it doesn’t help to put it off!
