Initial Thoughts on Reflection

I believe there are different qualities of reflection, which achieve different aims (if at all). These vary in quality and their approach to reflection. There is to begin with structured and unstructured reflection.

Structured and Unstructured Reflection:

I have just finished a reflective blog that looks back at the key themes of my first project and what the areas for development are. This (in a similar vain to the conclusion) adopts a structured reflection of the work just completed. There are then unstructured reflective times where we think about things (for example a long car journey as Deb says) or because we have time or something significant occurs that demands our attention (as Deb says when we make a huge mistake and think about how to change this or not do it again).

Structured reflection:

- ‘Self-imposed’ reflection, as I am doing now, to understand if I did what I said I was going to last year. This is directed and has a specific purpose

- ‘Team imposed’ reflection where individual’s successes/ failures are thought about as a team and still requires personal reflection

- ‘Process imposed’ reflection where standardised forms are jammed in front of you to show others (generally numerically) how you have done for the last campaign etc. (project submission form)

Unstructured reflection:

- ‘Suggested’ reflection where someone observes something about you or what you have done that stimulates immediate reflection...
