Model of Reflection - Schon (1991) concept of 'reflection in action' and 'reflection on action':

Another model of reflection I'm going to implement into my critical analysis is using Schon's 1991 concept of 'reflection in action' and 'reflection on action'. Schon's theory is that there are two types of reflection, one during and one after activity or event. The table below shows the differences between reflection in action, and reflection on action, and the points mentioned in each column will be used to evaluate how I am learning, and carrying out experiences, and whether I look back at what i'v done, to assess the positives or negatives. 

This concept is particularly important to myself as it enables me to analyse when I reflect the most, and whether I think on the spot, and don't consider the consequences, which could lead to a negative outcome, or do I think about the situation after and take my time to control the outcome. This concept will tie in well with my 'mind management' strategy of using the 'Chimp Paradox', created by Professor Steve Peters. The mind management programme is designed to develop confidence, success, and happiness, and all ties in with managing your brain and your inner 'chimp'. 
I will explain more about the Chimp Paradox in my upcoming post, but the concept created by Schon, of how I reflect, will link into how I act in situations which is analysed in the Chimp Paradox concept. Therefore, throughout my placement blog I will be bringing Schon's concepts of reflection into practice and analysing when I was 'reflecting in action' and when I was 'reflecting on action'.
