Swk3017 reflection
1. SWK3017 Reflection
Essentially, a reflective, but not
exhaustive, account of key themes and
‘incidents’ that have formed your
experiences of SWK 3017.
2. • Reflective practice is "the capacity to reflect
on action so as to engage in a process of
continuous learning", which, according to the
originator of the term, is "one of the defining
characteristics of professional practice".[1]

Wikipedia in an assignment) ;-)
3. At a basic level
Kolb 1984
(Argyris & Schon 1978)
4. This module is a mess
• "Every problem interacts with other problems
and is therefore part of a set of interrelated
problems, a system of problems…. I choose to
call such a system a mess.
• Ackhoff 1974
Tim Curtis 2011
5. Some problems are so complex that you
have to be highly intelligent ad well
informed just to be undecided about
them

6. • Make sense of cognitions, behaviours and
emotions; your own and those of others.
• Subject them to structured evaluation.
• Develop your own practice accordingly.
• Allow others to benefit from such willingness to
learn and practice reflexively.
• Take constructive risks which inevitably bring
both success and failure.
• Be willing to ethically challenge and be
challenged.
7. Contents
• Critical incidents-notable, unfamiliar; perhaps that have
challenged your prior understandings.
• Significant contributions that you have made within
Modular activities.
• Shifts in understandings and subsequent practices.
• Moves made from knowing to unknowing/vice versa. What
impacts have such occurrences had on you?
• Beliefs and values you hold that you feel have caused you
tension in some ways i.e. occasioning shifts, great or small,
or perhaps ultimate reinforcements?
• Resistances to change within you versus stimulations to re
consider things or behave differently?
• Freeform- don’t slavishly follow this structure
8. Reflexivity
• Founded on curiosity and intrinsic motivation.
• How? Why? What? When? Who?
• A balance of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
• Questioning assumptions: yours and those of others.
• Considering alternatives to feed decision making and practice.
• Creativity, including how you record, portray and emphasise your
reflexive process.
• Stepping beyond fear.
• Knowing and unknowing to enrich understanding.
• Reflexivity is a live process within practice, life, and the Module.
• Reflexivity is a now process as well as post event.
