Reflection draws on everyday events and experiences, both positive and negative. The document discusses the importance of reflection for evidence-based practice and developing understanding of one's own decisions and their implications. It provides guidelines for reflective skills, attitudes, and frameworks like Gibbs' reflective cycle and Driscoll's "What? So What? Now What?" model that can structure reflective writing.
