PURPOSES1. Consider the process of our own learning – a
process of metacognition
2. Critically review something - our own behaviour, that of others or the product of behaviour (e.g. an essay, book, painting etc.)
3. Build theory from observations: we draw theory from generalisations - sometimes in practical situations, sometimes in thoughts or a mixture of the two
4. Engage in personal or self development
5. Make decisions or resolve uncertainty …
6. Empower or emancipate ourselves as individuals (and then it is close to self development) or to empower/emancipate ourselves within the context of our social groups.’

REFLECTIVE THINKING
Reflective thinking helps you to: 1. Develop a questioning
attitude and new perspectives 2. Identify areas for change and
improvement 3. Respond effectively to new
challenges 4. Generalize and apply what you
have learned from one situation to other situations
HOW TO: Stand back from the events and try to
be objective Be critical of your own actions Think of alternative explanations of
events Make use of evidence from a range of
sources e.g. theories Recognise that your own point of view
will change with time Discuss with others to deepen your
insight and explore a range of perspectives
REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
Why did I respond in this way? What was I thinking and feeling – did this influence
me, and why? What was the client thinking and feeling, what is the
evidence for this? What else could I have done? What would I do in a similar situation? How does my experience compare to what I have
read? Are there any theories that would help explain what happened?
What might be the results of doing things differently? What evidence is there to show things might change if done differently?
How has the experience changed my understanding?

PRACTISING REFLECTIVE WRITING
Be aware of the purpose of your reflective writing and state if it is appropriate
Reflective writing requires practice and constant standing back from oneself.
Practice reflecting writing on the same event /incident through different people’s viewpoints and disciplines
Deepen your reflection / reflective writing with the help of others through discussing issues with individuals and groups, getting the points of others.
Always reflect on what you have learnt from an incident, and how you would do something differently another time.
Try to develop your reflective writing to include the ethical, moral, historical and socio-political contexts where these are relevant.
