What models work
Begin to make notes on the different reflective models and try some methods out to see what works for you. Give reasons for your choice with consideration of the following questions:
- Which model of reflection might be well suited to your current piece of work? or stage of study?
- What barriers might you face in developing a regular reflective practice and what strategies could you put in place to overcome them?
I liked the quick and easy ‘One minute paper’, this would be handy for an initial reflection, or help you to bullet point the main facts.
I preferred the ‘Cycle of reflection’ method the best as I thought it gave a more in depth response to reflection. I felt it helped you to get into the nitty gritty of some of the processes, and I liked that it mentioned what you were feeling, exploring your thoughts.
I felt this process might help me the best with this stage of study, I feel to gain the most out of this unit, I will need to immerse myself into the reflection side of the course.
Having some guidelines to start with will help me in these discoveries, but if I’m short on time I can always use the ‘One minute paper’ method to start with, then move onto ‘Cycle’ afterwards.
The barriers would be time, it would be important to factor in that time for reflection in my routine when working on my studies. I think once I get into the process of working in this way, it will start to come naturally to think like this, which will help with time and thinking what to write and in which way to reflect to get the best out of the process.
I came up with this spider diagram, which I can add to along with the course, but it really bullet points the main reflection points I need to consider. This will be the base of my thought process going forward.
