This issue of subjectivity run throughout John’s (2000) theory, where of course people’s view on empirics also may differ greatly. Does this mean that we are furthering our subjective view of the world and can this actually lead to an insightful reflection if it is subject to our own minds as gatekeepers to the process? Subjectivity is undoubtedly necessary for our internal understanding and despite the risk of an insular conclusion from reflection John’s (2000) model provides a useful and basic structure to begin the reflective process, which is summarised here:
1. Find a space and think about how you are feeling and what you are thinking about
2. what happened in the situation and how were the people involved feeling?
3. Why did I feel the way I did?
4. Did I act for the best and what was the best way?
5. What knowledge or experience could have informed my decision and actions here?
6. What could I do better and how would this make me feel?
