Recommended: Theories of self reflection in psychology

Weirton Geriatric is a very bust place so I rarely was observed and when I was it only lasted a few minutes. As a conscientious person with no source of feedback I began evaluating myself objectively. Every task I completed, whether interviewing a client, participating in an emergency preparedness drill, transporting clients, helping set up for a picnic, moving client belongings from one floor to the next (we honestly moved 1 woman 3 times in one day), helping residents play BINGO, accompanying clients to the doctor, or feeding clients I rated myself. It is a process I have picked up as I have aged because I know that continuous reflection helps everyone reach their potential and ensures that problems are identified early and as such solutions can be developed. …show more content…

Overall I would give myself an A-. While I arrived on time, dressed professionally, accomplished what I was asked, and was told by both of the social workers employed at the agency that I was intelligent and picked up on things quickly, But as my weakness, I did not feel that I had the knowledge, having graduated from Northern, to complete the activities, like the care plan, that Maryann assigned to

    The way I reflect on work activities is by firstly looking at the way the situation or work was approached, then considering the effect of it and then making an honest assessment of the quality of work that I produced. Regular reflection is carried out by using a structured approach such as keeping a reflective journal, by asking myself reflective questions the activities are descriptive, I analyse and make a theory of the situation or activities always seeking

    Reflection, as explained by Moon (2013), is the process of looking back on an event or experience and thinking about it and learning from it. Reflection, which is learning through experience, is not a new concept. As humans, we naturally reflect on our surroundings and experiences on a day to day basis in order to make sense of them. (Norman, Vleuten and Newble, 2002). In a professional context, reflation is vital for a practitioner to learn and improve their practice. By using their own experiences, practitioners are able to analysis, and in turn, adapt or improve specific areas of practice

    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

    ...ide an effective overview of some of the key considerations within this topic and further created the opportunity for me to input some of my own ideas for future use. I believe for example that what has been shown most significantly is the importance of the ‘environment’ in determining how we think; as with the current fast moving world of work and living, often the demand for quick decision making makes reflection more difficult, with people being more likely to make suboptimal decisions utilizing previous experience and intuition. Further is the crucial idea that reflection heavily depends on the ‘type’ of individual; with some having a more numerical ability that facilitates reflection or some being more ‘open-minded’ in their way of thinking (Baron 1985) that means they are likely to consider a broader spectrum of new possibilities, resulting in good decisions.

    “The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival” (Aristotle, n.d.) Reflection is a process that begins with looking back on a situation, thinking about it, learning from it and then using the new knowledge to help you in similar situations in the future. We need to evaluate through reflection to determine whether change is needed. We can then decide what action is needed and what we should do the next time we are faced with a similar situation. It might not necessarily be something you have done wrong, it may well be you were happy with the outcome of a situation you had some input into and would do again.

  • Career Essay: My Career Choice For Mental Health

    I scored a 0 on the realistic scale. I scored a 0 for the fact I am not a hands on and practical individual. I do not like working with materials, tools, and machinery. I would rather work with other in close proximity and build relationships. My realistic score of 0 was not surprising, since it doesn’t correlate with my personality traits. On the investigative scale, I scored a 9. Thinking is a critical part in counseling. I desire to work with others to find solutions to their problems. My artistic score was a 4, which reflects my love for the arts and music. I would love to incorporate art and music into the counseling process with my future clients. On the social scale, I scored a 22. This is a significantly high score, which did not surprise me, since I am a very social individual. I love to work with others and help them grow. I desire to teach new ideas, help others, and provide advice. My enterprising score was a 2. I like taking on projects, persuading individuals, and leading them. The final part of the assessment is the conventional section, which I scored a 2 on. I enjoy working with set procedures and routines with a strong leadership component (O*NET,

  • What Is Self Reflection Essay

    1170 Words  | 3 Pages

    Self-reflection is defined as meditation or thought put towards your own goals or motives. To self-reflect, you must be willing to take time for yourself, even if you do not think you have time. Everyone has a lot on their plate, but even if it seems as if the world is crumbling around you, taking time to be selfish every now and again is crucial. Setting a goal for yourself cannot be done unless you have a willingness to understand your own personal nature, essence, and purpose. It may seem hard at times, especially if you are a selfless individual, but it is important to remember your place and what you are trying to achieve. In order to do so it is necessary to understand Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

  • Listening Evaluation In Nursing

    The “listening evaluation” was interesting to me.  Based on the questions asked I scored a seventy-eight which indicates that I listen well.  With my score, I believe that is one of my strengths.  In my career field, it is imperative that I listen to what is being told to me by my patients, their family members or any clinical team member. That way proper medical care and treatment can be provided or initiated when warranted.   Why did I score seventy-eight on this exercise?  I feel it is because I listen to intuition, body language, common sense, and experience.  In the beginning of my nursing career, I would not have scored this high, but with time came competence and I became more confident.  Having self-confidence, allows us to open dialogs
