What is reflection?• Not rocket science• We all learn from our experiences • We all think back as to how we could have
done things differently• When we do this in a formal way to identify
areas of learning process is known as reflection

Why use reflective learning?• We all do it to some degree• Reflective learning is about making this
process explicit• Maximises learning from a given situation• Promotes deep learning i.e. where material is
understood in a personal context• Builds on previous knowledge• Promotes personal growth and development• Helps integrate knowledge skills and values

GMC• Specifically requires that medical students
should be able to reflect on practice and be self-critical.
• Many postgraduate programs now use reflective learning particularly in portfolios
• c.f. GP training and revalidation• There is an expectation that Drs will become
reflective practitioners• Includes being self aware, recognising
limitations, identifying areas for improvement and CPD

Gibbs• Description - What happened?• Feelings – What were you thinking and
feeling?• Evaluation – what was good or bad about the
situation?• Analysis – What sense can you make of the
situation?• Conclusion – what else could you have
done?• Action plan – what would you do next time?

Where it fits• Part of a process• Part of a learning journey• Helps use every experience and encounter
as a learning opportunity

Reflective writing• We use this to gather evidence of reflective
thinking• Looking back at an event• Analysing an event or idea in detail• Thinking carefully about what it means to
you now and for the future• Something concrete that the students can
share with use with respect to their experience

Moon levels of reflective writing
• Descriptive• Descriptive account with some reflection• Dialogic reflection• Critical reflection
![Page 15: Reflective learning](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681613e550346895dd0a79e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
www.abdn.ac.uk
Descriptive• Descriptive, little reflection• Ideas linked by sequence of account/story• Any references to emotional reactions not
explored• No focus on particular issues• Most points given similar weight
![Page 16: Reflective learning](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681613e550346895dd0a79e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
www.abdn.ac.uk
Descriptive with some reflection
• Basic account more than just the story• Focused on event as if questions asked and
answered• Points where reflection could occur are
signalled• Recognise that exploration of points would
be of benefit, but that is as far as it goes
![Page 17: Reflective learning](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681613e550346895dd0a79e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
www.abdn.ac.uk
Dialogic• Description focused on particular area or
aspects accentuated for reflection• Material being mulled around• There is evidence of external ideas or
information• Account shows some analysis• If appropriate is self critical

www.abdn.ac.uk
Critical reflection• Description serves process of reflection• Evidence of standing back• Recognition that frame of reference can
change• Critical awareness of own thought processes• Others views and motives taken into account• Recognition of influence of prior experience• Learning points noted

Group task1. Try to identify areas where reflective
learning can improve the student experience in practice
2. Are you a true, natural reflective learner yourself?
3. What are the barriers to being a reflective learner and how might you overcome them?
4. Look at the piece of reflective writing and try to work out where it lies according to Moon’s classification
