Started recieving reflections back from first year students over the weekend, and to say that I'm impressed is quite an understatement. At present about half the group have shared reflections which are suprisingly good, given the fact they had very little guidance.
Students effectively reflected on their learning process, some in more depth than others. However, only one student included reflections on what they had actually learnt. I'm still waiting for the rest of the reflections to come through to get a better snap shot of the group.

Very encouraging!
ReplyDeleteClearly also an opportunity there to build up support/resources for reflective practice.
I have often found that the students are very good at writing reflective reports, even from the first semester. However, it is very clear they need quite a significant amount of information and focus in order to ensure they do not stray too far from the task.
ReplyDeleteI am also always surprised at how open and honest they are.
Perhaps key to this is seeng how they can build upon their reflections and begin to channel that back into their practice...
