Self – reflective journal is a personal record of student’s learning experiences, which can then be used to explore and analyse ways of thinking, record and reflect upon his observations and responses to situations and can also contain images, drawings, visuals and other types of reference materials.
There's an old saying "you don't know what you know till you've written it down" - and several research studies have found this to be true. According to Boud. D., et al. (1985) “Reflection is an important human activity in which people recapture their accumulated knowledge, think about it, mull over and evaluate it. It is this working with experience that is important in learning”.

    When I was working at long term care, I was being a part of an incident which gave me a life time lesson. I was taking care of ninety-nine years old lady Mrs.Chang. I was assisting Mrs. Chang in transferring from bed to wheelchair. I feel Mrs. Chang physically so weak so I need someone’s sustenance. I was looking for someone and I saw a nurse in next resident’s room who was dressing a wound of resident Mr. Roger. I call the nurse to give me a hand. She rushes into Mrs.Chang room without washing her hand or using hand sanitizer to assist me in transfer. I was jolted for a moment and couldn’t say anything to the nurse. Then I felt it was too late to say anything to the nurse.

    Thinking that I was strong minded and never looking at the negatives, ones suspicions changed my whole mind setting. After an endless wait in the mournful waiting room of the hospital, my name was called. The nurse brought us to Dr. Yazay's office where he confirmed his suspicions, and so began my life with scoliosis. Since the age of eight I have been swimming. I was a competitive swimmer for nine years, and now had to deal with a life without the activities I felt defined my identity. The treatment for my scoliosis involved wearing the most uncomfortable thing in the world which was a brace. With several restrictions on my physical activity, I had an abundance of free time on my hands.

    Compassion, respect, empathy, and treating people with dignity are values I hold dear and have been brought up with and follow. When I was younger I thought as children do, that all children must be happy and have a safe place to live and a family who love them, however, as I got older I realised that this was not the case for many children. I felt a sense of injustice and realised then that I wanted to work in a job that helps care for children/young people and families, making sure their basic rights are met and they are safe. I feel that it has always been part of my personality to be a supportive, nurturing, caring and a community focused individual. Therefore it only seems natural for me to follow this instinctive sense of caring and

    A journal is a crucible for processing the raw material of experience in order to integrate it with existing knowledge and create new meaning. Among the many purposes for journal writing are the following: to break habitual ways of thinking; enhance the development of reflective judgment and metacognition; increase awareness of tacit knowledge; facilitate self-exploration and personal growth; and work out solutions to problems (Andrusyszyn and Davie 1997; Mitchell and Coltrinari 2001; Moon 1999). Moon (1999) and Carroll (1994) discuss theories and research that support a number of assumptions about learning from journals:

    (Howard & Lyons, 2014, p152) Being able to reflect on an experience including how you responded or felt and how you might do things differently if it were to happen again can help us to work through such situations. This can involve looking back and asking questions such as, ‘why did I feel like that?’ and ‘was there something I could do differently if it happened again? ‘Boud (2001 as cited by Moore et al 2011, p545) ‘describes reflection as the process of turning experience into learning that involves making sense out of what has occurred in our lives.’ Reflection can also be useful in terms of learning from experience and so help towards self-care and self-development. ‘Reflective skill is described as an ability to identify personal errors and make evidence-based decisions. Self-awareness and reflective skills are closely related in which self-reflection involves learning processes, whereas self-awareness becomes the objective of the process.’ (Siraj, Salam, Azmina, Chong, Saidatul, Faiz, Murnira, Kang & Nabishah, 2013,

    For everything we do, even if it is our best performance, there is always room for improvement. It could not be different in a career such as teaching. Teachers are always self-reflecting to analyze and evaluate their own teaching methods in order to find out what works and what needs to improve. With this information in hand, teachers can come up with strategies to improve certain areas of their teaching. There are many tools teacher can use to self-reflect. As a teacher, I will continually evaluate the effects of my professional decisions and actions on students through self-reflective journals, video recordings, students’ formal and informal assessments, peer support, student and parent evaluation, and suggestion box.
