Throughout the course of our lectures, I was exposed to a vast array of knowledge that contradicted misconceptions that often went unquestioned. For example, the majority of university courses reinforce the notion of information assimilation and solely use this method of teaching. As a result, I blindly accepted the superiority of information assimilation over other teaching strategies. However, this course revealed the deficits within information assimilation and further enlightened students regarding
We were 6 members in a communication exercise group. Our group, engaged actors in communication scenario’s. Lisa, played by a lovely middle aged woman, was a mother of a child with ADHD. Our task was to elicit Lisa's story her issues and feelings. We all had turns, I’m reflecting on the scene. At the time of the exercise, I was anxious and overwhelmed by the scenario. The night before I had undergone a traumatic psychologically disabling event. It felt surreal, I was outside looking in from
Over the past three and a half months I have been studying communication development and disorders of children and as a future teacher in America, I have learned so much. I have been granted the opportunity to learn about so many different challenges children of the world face from speech and language disorders to Dyslexia and Autism. All of this information has changed my views for the better and will forever change my impression of what makes a good teacher. Right from the beginning of this course

understand what reflective practices are and how it contributes to continuous teacher’s professional development.

He referred to reflection as thought from puzzlement felt in direct experiences which is an important aspect of learning from experience. Reflective thinking helps practitioners to act in intentional and deliberative ways rather
This piece is going to explore the principles of reflective practice and highlight/explore the benefits and challenges that one encounters when it comes to reflection in everyday clinical practice. Models of reflection will also be incorporated to support critical reflective practice as a speech and language therapist. Reflective practise is crucial as a speech and language therapist as it creates critical thinking and limits the chances of future problems reoccurring. It also creates a cycle of
through reflection is a key issue of education and learning (Kennison, 2012), where you learn through experience (Tashiro, Shimpuku, Naruse and Matsutani, 2013), learn to self-evaluate (Duffy, 2013), identify gaps in knowledge and detect where further training or study is required to improve practice (Olarerin, 2013). Ultimately reflection is thought to be constant learning from practice, thus refining knowledge and experiences and putting them into practice (Naidoo, 2013). Within my reflection examples
