This document is a reflexive commentary composed of several patches that summarize the author's learning and reflections over time. In Patch 1, the author mapped concepts they knew and areas to learn more about, including Kolb's learning model, social construct theory, and constructive alignment. They reflected on a teaching task about the Mental Capacity Act. In Patch 2, they developed models of motivation and critical practice teaching and further reflected on teaching the Mental Capacity Act. Patch 3 saw the author develop and evaluate a student-focused "micro curriculum." Patch 4 discusses debates around competencies and graduate nursing status. Overall, the author reflects on meeting intended learning outcomes and areas for continued reflection, such as phenomenological approaches in hostile learning environments.

6. Model of Critical Practice

7. Social Construct TheoryIs it this?Or this?

8. Constructive Alignment, What’s that?

9. PATCH ONE: Reflexive prompts to carry forward• I designed a teaching task to support the learner in understanding the Mental Capacity Act (2005), I carried out the teaching and reflected. (Appendix A)• I considered the value of emotion, and motivation to transform learning.• I learned about taking a student centred phenomenological approach and the challenges tacit knowledge can pose to assessment and critical thinking.

10. PATCH TWO: Reflexive prompts revisited•I developed a mind map of motivation applied to learning approaches and environment (Appendix C).•I developed a model for critical practice and teaching (Appendix D).•I developed further Teaching of the Mental Capacity Act for small group work that I carried out in Patch One and reflected (Appendices E, F and G)

17. PATCH 3Reflexive PromptsI developed a ‘micro curriculum’ that was student focussed and delivered complex content, delivered and evaluated its effectiveness, I tried to constructively align and evaluate through tasks and student perception of the experience (Appendices H - N).

20. PATCH 4: reflexive promptsDebates within nurse education and the move to graduate status.Complexities of competencies and how we cannot define and evaluate our nursing role, how does this fit with a model of becoming a graduate professionI concluded that graduate status may answer some of these questions as I am unable to.
