2. Plan for this session
• Brief review of your patch content
• Visualising how your learning has
developed through the PA process
• Constructing your reflections – peer
discussion
• Links to the professional standards
portfolio

3. Activity 1
 Briefly summarise your patch content in
the shapes
 Draw arrows to indicate any connections
there may be between the patches –
annotate the arrow lines with those
connected ideas

4. Activity 2
 Choose 4 squares of coloured paper and
number them
 Blue = 1; yellow = 2; green = 3; pink = 4
 Arrange the squares, using the wool as the
connecting thread, in a way that represents
your overall learning
• Eg.

5. Activity 3
 Discuss your configuration of patches
and your learning process in a NON-
QUAD group (your quads should be
familiar with your patches by now)
 Remember – there is no ‘wrong’ way …
just different ways of conceptual
development processes

6. So ….
Thinking about your reflexive commentary
now, what are the key points you have
learnt and developed through creating
these different patches – they should
relate to your own practice, your
professional development, any ‘golden
threads’, and how you meet the module
learning outcomes overall through this
process

7. Reflective & reflexive ….
 Being reflective is usually equated with terms such as
'thinking about', 'mulling over', 'pondering on‘
 Being reflexive is the next step on from reflection
• it requires you to take action as a result of your critical
thinking
• by influencing and altering the situation within your sphere
of control
 Restructuring your thinking and practice as a result of
reflection starts by recognising, considering and
challenging assumptions (yours and others) and then
planning how you may practice differently to enact
your new understandings
