Importance Of Reflective Practice

Alternatively, Walk –Thru- Audit practice of Fitzsimmons and Maurer (1991), cited in Olorunniwo and Pennington and Hsu (2002) could also be applied to develop a questionnaire. In their method a third party is getting familiar with the blueprint of a service sequential before experiencing the service itself, and he or she then proceeds into the walk-Thru- Audit while developing his or her own chronological questions; however, these questions are finally phrased to build the statements which are grouped into different dimensions. b)Rating Scale development Departing from the use of Likert scale which attaches numerical descriptors to different verbally described categories, and... ... middle of paper ... ...e grand mean, , which is the average of the four samples’ means. c) Calculate the mean of the sample ranges, . However it is important to establish R chart to detect changes in variability over time since X-bar chart is founded on the hypothesis that process variability is constant over time (Pitt, 1994; cited in Orme and Cox, 2001); see worksheet 3 for establishing R chart.

Reflection can refine strengths because if there is deliberate focus on the continuous examination and analysis of strength, then changes can be made to maximize them. Reflection may be aligned with the action-learning cycle (as cited in Kemmis, McTaggart & Nixon 2014). Knowing my strengths and reflect on them regularly will permit me to more aware of them. Kolb’s model of reflection proposed that learning not only result from having an experience, but learning occurs when an experience is examined, reviewed and reflected upon. The model allows a connection of theory and practice where an experience involves preparation, action, reflection and connection back to previous knowledge.

Dewy identified four main methods of thought-Belief, imagination, Stream of Consciousness and reflection. He was of the opinion that Reflection is “The kind of thinking that consists in turning a subject over in the mind and giving it serious thought” .He also stated that in order to experience something we must interact with it.Importantly allowing your practise to be examined by others and acting on their criticisms is a key part of self-reflection (Dewey1933) Definitions of reflect... ... middle of paper ... ...theories together you could write down and link ideas based on your experiences and record your development, critical reflection allows you to understand your strengths and weaknesses and how best you learn and will help you assist others in learning new methods of practise. Some people view reflection as something that in theory is a good idea but in a practical application won’t work due to workloads or restriction of time and a luxury we cannot afford (Sue Thompson and Neil Thompson, 2008). However it is worth the effort to do this as finding the time and space is “A fundamental ingredient of high quality practise” (Clutterbuck, 2001), Critical reflection is essential in order for us to continue learning and progress towards our goal of becoming a practitioner with the skills required to care for vulnerable people as well as educate those we work with and around.

Coaching is generally known as a collective, action-oriented conversation that facilitates the enhancement of life experiences, goal attainment, self directed learning and performance in the individual being coached professional and personal life. Moreover, coaching takes on many beneficial characteristics such as: (1) the ability to unlock people’s potential to maximize their own performance; (2) a facilitative approach that helps people to learn, as opposed to teaching them; (3) an instructional approach that is directly concerned with the immediate improvement of performance and development of skills by a form of tutoring or instruction; and (4) the potential to enhance performance in work and personal life domains, underpinned by models

This class will benefit me in my coaching career because it is going to help me to become a better coach, teacher and help me to better my athletes. I can now further understand the human body and

. Writing about learning is a way of demonstrating what has been learned. . Journal writing accentuates favorable learning conditions—it demands time and space for reflection, encourages independent thought and ownership, enables expression of feelings, and provides a place to work with ill-structured problems. .

The purpose of this essay is to reflect and critically study an incident from a clinical setting whilst using a model of reflection. This will allow me to analyse and make sense of the incident and draw conclusions relating to personal learning outcomes. The significance of critical analysis and critical incidents will briefly be discussed followed by the process of reflection using the chosen model. The incident will then be described and analysed and the people involved introduced. (The names of the people involved have been changed to protect their privacy) and then I will examine issues raised in light of the recent literature relating to the incident.

The core beliefs reflect the views we have of others, the future, the world, and ourselves. These core beliefs underlie automatic thoughts and usually reflect back to the intermediate belief (Seligman & Reichenberg, 2014). A client may have a positive or negative core belief, however, the negative core beliefs lead to the dysfunctional thoughts far from reality. The schema includes these core beliefs and works as a mental structure that organizes information and experiences (Seligman & Reichenberg, 2014). Schemas act as a filter as they process experiences and current info, thus shaping the client’s thinking and often time fostering cognitive errors (Knapp & Beck, 2008).

This assignment will also include criticisms of both theories as well. Cognitive is defined as a mental process; it refers to everything going on in your mind including your thought processes and the way you are thinking and feeling. Behaviour refers to everything that you may do; this includes any action that you may present or act out, this can also be an indirect action that is caused by other underlying behaviours. Therapy is a systematic approach to try and resolve a problem, illness, actions, irregular thought patterns or anything that may be a disturbance that distracts you from your everyday functioning. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a dynamic mode of holistic intervention that seeks to change thought processes that are linked with emotions through a goal-orientated process (Freeman and Ronen, 2007).

I feel that I am more capable of doing a good job as a coach because I have learned to implement the formal observation cycle such as the pre-conference, observation, post-conference, and feedback. Implementing instructional and collegial coaching in my coaching experience, I learned how to establish a positive relationship trust and respect with my collaborative colleague as well as with the principal. The respect, trust, and confidence principals have for teachers’ abilities to influence their own development are essential to building a strong collegial school culture that fosters teacher talent development (D’ Antonio, 2001). There were some challenges that I faced with my
