Throughout my time on placement I will need to ensure that I am always reflecting upon my experiences, and highlighting my strengths, weaknesses and future opportunities. Therefore prior to beginning my placement and also throughout my placement I will use a series of 'self- reflection models' to critically appraise my placement experiences which will help me identify what events were successful, and other events which can be reflected upon and developed in the future. The models of reflection I will be using are:
- Gibbs 1988 Reflection cycle - Learning by doing model
- Kolbs 1984 Learning Cycle and Learning Styles reflection model
- Schon's 1991 concept of 'Reflection in action, and reflection on action'
- Johari's Window of Self-awareness
These four self-reflective and self-awareness models will be applied to my experiences which I encounter on my journey throughout my placement. I will be applying each of these theories to different situations and critically analysing my performances and how I can improve on situations in the future.
The upcoming blog posts will solely look at each self-reflection model and provide a background into what is the model about, why I have chosen this particular model, and what does this model offer to me as a learner.
