Activity 3
Consider your workplace as a learning environment and reflect upon three areas for improvement.
The term reflection refers to reviewing experience from practice so that it may be described, analysed, evaluated and consequently used to inform and change future practice.” According to Somerville and Keeling (2004) nursing is a profession where reflection is important whereby it helps to identify strengths and weaknesses. Jarvis (1992) mentioned that reflective practice can also be known as a learning process through and from the experiences towards gaining new ideas.
The two type of reflective practice by Schon (1987) are the capacity in reflecting in action and on reflecting on action. Based on Schon (1987) theory reflection in action is a process which allows us to reshape what we are working on, while we are working on it. On the other hand, reflecting on action and thinking back on what we have done in order to discover how our knowing in action may have contributed to an unexpected outcome.
There are many types of reflective theory to reflect on action. Gibbs Model of Reflection is a common model of reflection that is used within the health professions. It consists of 6 stages which are descriptive, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan.
