In this reflection of my observation I am going to use the Shon reflection framework. This framework is reflection in action and then reflection on action. I have decided to use this reflection framework as I feel to make real sense of the observation I need to gain a deeper understanding to make progression. As my last observation showed that I had made a vital mistake when deciding when to move on, this reflection will allow me the experience to be confident in this process. Barentsen and Malthouse (2009) define Schon’s approach to reflection as encouraging a person to think on their feet. I feel that this well make me progress in my practice and feel confident in what I am doing.
This observation took place a week after my last observation. Therefore, feedback was still fresh in my head. I was aware of my action plan and what I needed to do to progress. As this observation was so close to my last one, I decided to take a risk with a new approach to teaching, like what was suggested in my last feedback.
Throughout planning I became unsure that this approach was not going to work, and I was unable to get my head around how it would work. As I was unable to figure out how the lesson was going to plan out I became apprehensive of what was going to happen. …show more content…

I feel that I as I was worried about one group sitting around with nothing to do, I was conscious of the time and the feedback that went on after each activity. As this was the case, my plenaries were not as strong as I would like them to be as when the students could not answer I tried to move on. As questioning and answering went on, I was thinking on my feet. Trying to use techniques from other feedback to keep the flow, this was picked up in my feedback. “Feedback from my tutors suggest that there is still more I can do in the plenary

Driscoll (2000) model) consists of three stages (What, So what & Now what) completing one cycle help me to improve my caring practice continuously and learning from those experience for better practice in the future. The cycle starts with a description of the situation (“What”), which include analysis of the incident. “So what” evaluate the experience, including the analysis to make sense of the experience, and the final stage “Now what” is a conclusion of what else could I have done better and an action plan to prepare for, if the similar situation arose again. Baird and winter (2005) gave some reasons why reflection is required in the reflective practice. They highlighted that a reflection could generate the practical knowledge, help to adapt

Analysis of and reflection on my learning from the experiences of observing a child under the age of 5 in their day care environment, making use of literature on observation in social work and the development of reflective practice This reflection is based on Gibbs’ (1998) reflective cycle. Refection is an important process in social work as it provides a foundation for future accomplishment. The work of Donald Schon explains reflection in action, reflecting on the behaviors as it happens and reflection on action, making reflection after an event as explained by Goud and Taylor (1996). This was developed in social work due to ongoing enquires into child abuse.

Furthermore, in contrast to Gibbs and Atkins and Murphy’s model of reflection, Kolb only has four stages which only makes his learning cycle suitable for brief experiences but requires less complexity. His four stages include, firstly achieving a concrete experience, secondly reviewing and contemplating the experience which is the reflective and observation part of the cycle, the practitioner will then be in abstract conceptualisation which signifies the learning outcomes which includes what they have achieved and absorbed. The last stage is the active experimentation which includes attempting to put into practice what they have learned. This also differs from both Gibbs and the Atkins and Murphy’s model of reflection because in the last stage the practitioner is able to use his reflection and attempt to put it into place whereas Gibbs and Atkins and Murphy both do not suggest this. Overall, these models of reflection can be all beneficial as they are all different.

Critical Reflection – Lesson Plans: How did I plan my lessons to be inclusive of all students’ needs? In order to effectively plan inclusive lessons, a teacher needs to have a comprehensive knowledge of: their students, including their abilities and interests; alternative ways to teach and evaluate student understanding; how to adapt materials and text; the expectations of the school and community; and how to utilise this knowledge together into meaningful activities and experiences for all students (Hoy & Margetts, 2010). Being conscious that students learn in multiple ways, an attempt was made to include visual, auditory and kinaesthetic strategies within my lessons to cater for the needs, abilities and interests of all students. It was challenging

Having the ability to self-reflect is key to personal development, it allows me to learn from errors that I have made in the past, and hopefully not make the same errors again. Done well and effectively, reflection can be an enormously powerful tool to examine and transform practice. (Finlay, 2008, 10). Once you master the ability of self-reflection, you will have the power to make life changing decisions about your behaviour. Reflection is something that we do implicitly as part of being human, underpinning our identities through a process of negotiation between our sense of self and our experiences of others (Demetriou, 2000, 210).

reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action(Tilmouth and Qualllington,2012). People using reflection-in-action have to be forward thinking and reflect critically on what they are doing whilst they are doing it and to adjust actions in terms of that reflection ( Greenwood, 1983.). On the other hand reflection on action is used retrospectively and demands that those using it analyze and interpret their actions (Fitzgerald, 1994). Tilmouth and Quallington(2012) posit that what is important is not so much the model used but the learning that results from the model which is able to confirm whether behaivour is appropriate or if practice needs to be
