Learning theorist Graham Gibbs emphasised that "It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience, it may be quickly forgotten, or its learning potential lost..." If we take the time to step back and genuinely consider not just what happened but also so what and why - and how we felt as a consequence - then we can begin to generalise from our experience and develop new understanding which can be applied in future. In short, learning can then take place.

A great deal of your time university will be spent thinking; thinking about what people have said,
what you have read, what you yourself are thinking and how your thinking has changed. It is
generally believed that the thinking process involves two aspects: reflective thinking and critical
thinking. They are not separate processes; rather, they are closely connected (Brookfield 1987).

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

session
will

4. What are your concerns when you are
asked to write reflectively?
Write any comments in chat.
5. One
definition
of
reflection
“Reflection is a form of mental processing –
like a form of thinking – that we may use to
fulfil a purpose or to achieve some
anticipated outcome or we may simply ‘be
reflective’ and then an outcome can be
expected. Reflection is applied to relatively
complicated, ill-structured ideas for which
there is not an obvious solution and is
largely based on the further processing of
knowledge and understanding” (Moon,
2004, p.82)
6. Key
aspects
of
reflective
thinking
It is about a way of thinking and learning
from that thinking (Focused)
Involves a set of actions / practices
(Purposeful)
Asking questions – lots of questions!
Links thinking, practice (or action) and
learning (based on Experience)
7. Why reflection is valuable
• Improvement in practice – deeper learning
• Facilitate a change / improvement in practice
Specific goals:
• Review a process critically - stand back – explore ideas
• Build explanation from our own experiences and observations – and
relate to theory
• Personal / professional development
• Personal responsibility and ethical practice
• Make a decision / resolve uncertainty
8. Personal
qualities for
reflection
• Needs:
• Openness to different ideas / angles
(Mindfulness)
• Curiosity (asking questions)
• Patience (if the question is complex then the
answer is probably going to be as well)
• Honesty (acknowledge uncertainties / what
went badly as well as what went well.
• Personal responsibility / Integrity
• Rigour (analytical / insightful)
• Time and Space (need to start early)
9. Models of
reflective
thinking
• Kolb (1984) – developed a cycle of experiential
learning. This formed the basis of many strategies
or models that followed.
• Most follow a basic cycle of :
• You have an experience
• You reflect on it to learn from the experience
• You form a plan of what you will do as a result
of any new perspectives
10. Cycle of reflective thinking

s a self-motivated professional individual, who enjoys a challenge and has an eye for detail, I respond quickly and positively
to change and continually embrace it as an opportunity to learn, develop, and apply new skills, ideas and technologies.
• I continually focused on and am constantly evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of my own work and the services
provided by ALIS and the impact that this has on clients and users. I used my experience within my Postgraduate studies
to benchmark against other library sectors best practices and shared this information with management and work
colleagues. To help me ensure I provide a service that is current, flexible and supportive within a user-friendly
environment. I have defined, suggested and developed potential improvements that my library could make through
digitalization, physical library, social space increases and partnerships.
• I have suggested to line management new information literacy programs and moderation techniques as incorporated by
other library sectors in the usage of text messages as first overdue notices and pro-actively carried out samples to
determine benefits of usage. The results being a 98% return that day and a 2% by the next day.
• 190 words used.

feelings and experiences
• Complacent – you need to
acknowledge what has happened
