Recommended: Reflection based on observation in a classroom

A reflective practitioner is a reflective teacher who will reflect in action. By doing this they will have these skills: understanding, problem solving, and the responsibility for the choices they make in their classroom. When being a reflective practitioner they need to have a reason for every question that they ask themselves. The questions could include: What am I teaching and why? How is this going to better my students? How can I improve what I am teaching? How can I make this lesson more exciting? They must always have new ways to improve their students and teaching.

  • Explain The Barriers Of Reflective Practice

    221 Words  | 1 Pages

    There are certain barriers in using reflective practice such as lack of proper resources to improve their learning experience. Some nurses are not aware of how to undertake reflective practice due to their lack of knowledge and also may be worried about documenting experiences and emotions. Furthermore, time is one of the main barrier for reflective practice, learning through reflective practice can be time consuming, and if a nurse is reluctant or shows lack of motivation to spend time in improving their skills or knowledge through reflection or reflective practices, it will not benefit in making any changes in their profession and also in their patient care. According to Forneris et al, (2009) lack of time can cause beginner nurses to become

  • Early Years Reflection

    One reason for Reflection being used is to give practitioners the chance to change an aspect within their setting, which they feel can be improved in order to help the development of children within their practice. Reflective practice is about improving practice and coming up with theories to support the improvement (Holmes, 2011, p.7). Reflective practice using critical reflection will allow the practitioners to identify what they do well and what they need to improve on within their Early Years settings. It can also give practitioners the opportunity to develop their professional identity, and work at improving their working environment (Forde et al, 2006, p.65, 66). By allowing practitioners the chance to improve their working environment, it can have a huge influence on the children and their development within the Early Years. For example, a teacher looking back and being reflective over their lesson, will allow them to make amelioration for when they teach that lesson again, thus leading to further learning development of the

    During my time on the PGDE Course both in University based learning, and more evidently during my Professional Practise placements, I have come to realise the significance of reflection within the teaching profession. Not only does reflecting on best practise benefit the children’s learning but also increases the teacher’s confidence and ability in making decisions and delivering lessons. ‘Reflective teaching is a great deal to do with facing such features of ourselves in a constructive and objective manner which incorporates a continuous capacity to change and develop’ (Moon, 2004).

    Reflective practice is an integral part of the development and enhancement of understanding in medical radiation. A practitioner’s ability to access, understand and learn through work experiences is an example of reflective practice, to allow them to achieve more desirable, effective and satisfying work (Johns, 1995). Within reflective practice there are two various types of reflection; reflection in action and reflection on action. Reflection in action is the process in which a practitioner, while still performing a procedure, recognizes a new situation or problem, and thinks about it (Atkins and Murphy, 1994). Whereas reflection on action is when a practitioner reflects retrospectively to practice to uncover accompanying feelings and knowledge used in a particular situation (Atkins and Murphy, 1994).

    This week, I was successful this week in terms of documentation and contacts. I have been keeping up with the work. My supervisor had asked me to stay extra, and it made a big difference. Staying an extra hour is better than the five-hour work schedule because I was able to make up a lot of documentation. However, I was very tired this week, and I found that I did not have as much energy as I usually have. I created a plan to survive this week with effective time management. Speaking to patients in the morning time. Get the list of the patients on the postpartum floor, and determine if they are participants. If they are not WIC participants, I did not go into the room. At the office, I check if there are any prenatal mothers, as well as postpartum mothers waiting in the waiting area. If no one fit the criteria, then I worked on the documentation. I do find that employees give me other work on top of what I am must do because they see that I am a hard worker. Although, I know when to say “No,” but I do not say it because I want to be helpful. Also, I am under a probation period and I want to pass it. Therefore, I do the job to the best of my ability to succeed.
