Reflective:
• Considering things past
Practice
• Habit, use, dexterity
Reflective Practice
“….those intellectual and affective
activities in which individuals engage to
explore their experiences in order to lead
to new understandings and
appreciations”.
(Boud et al., 1985)
Gibbs Reflective Cycle

actions?

actions?
Reflective Writing: evaluation

• What would have been the consequences of
acting on these other choices?
Reflective Writing: new perspectives

experience relate to theories and concepts
already held?

may this have?
