This document outlines a three-step model for reflective learning: 1. Objectively describe the situation or context. 2. Analyze possible interpretations and explanations of the situation, including cognitive and behavioral reactions compared to others. 3. Evaluate what was learned from the experience, how it helped learning, and areas where more learning is needed.

1. 1. Describe the object/situation/context as objectively as you can.
2. Analyse the situation, including possible interpretations
involved. (You can refer to your behavioural, psychological,
cognitive reactions and responses, and compare with others in
said context.)
3. Evaluate the learning. (What did you learn from the
experience? How did the experience help you to learn?
Why do you want/need to learn more?)

11. l Share any episode/experience that you related to the
stumbling blocks highlighted in Barna’s (2017)
chapter. What does the experience mean to you?
(How did it trigger particular awareness of yourself
and/or others? What kind of new perspectives and
understanding, alternative interpretations and/or
behavioural choices have your learned/internalised
from that?)
