Reflection On The Reflective Report

Reflective practice in nursing is the process where we examine our nursing ability’s and practice in order to critically think and analyze the way we work and think about the views of others in our practice, what we could have done and we could have achieved a greater result by doing this also allows us as nurses to include best practice and use our own judgment in patient care to show the factors that either aid and hinder nurse to patient relationship. (Lowenstein, Bradshaw and Fuszard, 2001) described reflecting in nursing practice “the nurse must first come to understand what he or she defines as ideal practice”.

I will structure this essay using Gibbs Model of Reflection (Gibbs 1988). Reflective learning helps practitioners analyse their experiences and how they think and feel about them before

Reflection is an important tool for all health care practitioners. It can improve our skills and help us understand the choices we make while in practice. Williams (2001) states that “Reflective learning involves assessment and re-assessment of assumptions and critical reflection occurs whenever

Using Borton’s reflective model, the author identifies appropriate teaching and learning strategies to improve Catherine's communication skills. This model has been chosen to discuss the assignment as it is relatively basic models that suits junior practitioner however it can be used at different stages as learner improve their reflecting skills as according to Jasper (2013). Due to the simplicity of the model, there is an increased in utilization of Borton's reflective model by the healthcare professional (Jasper, 2013). Borton’s framework asks the practitioner to reflect using three types of questions: ‘What?’, ‘So what?’ and ‘Now what?’ . The last stage heads professionals to create or change their practice as an outcome of reflection. Reflection is the self recognition

I believe that reflective practice is essential to carrying out clinical skills effectively. It allows the nurse to reflect on their actions and perhaps, think what they will do if a similar scenario were to occur at a future stage. I reviewed Kolb's model of reflection. This

Throughout this essay I will discuss the definition of reflection and explain why reflective practice is used by a professional body to ensure the continuation of professional development. In this essay I will also discuss the role of reflection in the provision of quality of care, and finally I will describe 1 model of reflection and how I can apply this model in my own practice. Reflection can be described as reviewing experiences from your practice. In order to reflect you describe the experience or event, analyse what you feel worked well, as not all experiences will be bad and also what didn’t work well, then evaluate. This process allows you to make sense of the experience, be accountable for your own actions, what where your strengths

The ability to become reflective in practice has become a necessary skill for health professionals. This is to ensure that health professionals are continuing with their daily learning and improving their practice. Reflective practice plays a big part in healthcare today and is becoming increasingly noticed.

Reflective practice engages practitioners in a continuous cycle of self-observation and self-evaluation in order to understand their own actions and the reactions they prompt in themselves and in learners (Brookfield, 1995; Thiel, 1999). Reflective practice is considered as an evolving concept which views learning as “an active process of reviewing an experience of practice in order to describe, analyse, evaluate and so inform learning about practice.” (Reid, B 1993 cited in Garfat, T. 2005).

Personal reflection in nursing is essential and critical as it allows for continuous development and re-assessment of skills whilst working within a health care setting (Reflective practice: a tool to enhance professional practice 2011, pp.1-3). Personal reflection is important as reflective practice allows for the ability for one to reflect and examine their actions and experiences which overall will increase and enhance their clinical knowledge, as well as developing and improving their practice (Reflective practice: a tool to

Reflective Practice within Nursing has been defined ‘as a process that develops understanding of what it means to be a practitioner’ (Rolfe, 1998) and follows on with the ‘theory and practice through the practitioner consciously thinking through the experience’ (Jasper, 2003). This is of great importance regarding a practitioner, especially one in learning, as they are able to develop a better understanding of their role and offers support when learning new skills. In Nursing, Reflection plays a huge role. Most of the opportunities to learn and develop knowledge come best when learnt through practice and subsequently will be found in a practice environment.

Demonstrated ability to support success for all students, with a strong emphasis on promoting student responsibility, engagement and wellbeing.

Throughout my high school experience english classes were presented with very strict guidelines. They provided us with rubrics and prompts, laying out exactly what they wanted us to turn in. Telling us what the essay had to be about, how the thesis had to direct connect and answer the question and how much context from the story we needed. There was not ever creative assignments and writing about personal experience, just reflecting on text from class.

The day of my small group, I communicated with my student helper about what song we will be singing so that she was prepared to sing it with me. I also did a brief verbal run down of what my activity is about and how I will need to use her for an example. Communicating prior to implementing my activity allowed the small group to run more smoothly as the student helper knew what to expect. I also communicated with my student helper to focus on a certain child depending on the designated day. This would help reduce distractions or help the child that has more difficulty in participating. I asked my student helper to transition and line up the children as I set up my small group, to help save time and give the children maximum

In addition to other learning theories and teaching strategies, Schӧn’s reflection model would be helpful in integrating theory into practice. When I developed and conducted my teaching plan based on reflection, it became profitable for the development of my career as a nurse educator and for the quality of my teaching. Schӧn’s reflection model is not only a useful tool for my personal development, it is also a process for changing the way I teach and learn, through examining practice in a critical and analytical way. The key to effective teaching and learning is through reflection in and on action. To conduct an effective teaching plan, I ought to have the capacity for self-reflection, critical and analytical thinking
