Guidelines for 1500 word reflection
The purpose of this written piece is for you to reflect on the process of learning during the course of this module. As this is a Level 6 module you must demonstrate the ability to reflect and analyse, so go beyond a mere description of your individual and group activity.
The overall aim of the reflection is to critically appraise your role and personal development in relation to the learning opportunities presented in this module to enable you to meet the module Learning Outcomes.
There should be clear evidence in your reflection of how the learning opportunities and your engagement with them influenced your learning and development. It might therefore be helpful to consider the following aspects:
What were the benefits to you and challenges involved in this module?
How do you know you have learnt and developed? – {Some of the benefits of this module is team working skills and learning from each other (please support with literature references) as we worked in team of four members. I have learnt many physiological aspect of some acute deterioration such as cardiac arrest, choking, sepsis and anxiety disorders which were the topics for the four different groups we had in the class. In my group called sky, tasks were distributed to each member of the group by the team leader and the group agreed that I would be in charge of the physiology aspect. Good feedbacks were received from both the lecturer and the students. }
What did you do to ensure you got the best out of the learning opportunities? – {The lecturer’s and colleagues feedback about the shortfalls and good practice from both the scenario and debriefing were taken into consideration and dealt with accordingly}.
Could you have done anything differently? – {I was taken too much time in my debriefing on physiology of anxiety disorders which was the topic for our group. I should have monitored the time so I could use exactly five minutes for my physiology part.
Some of the challenges of the module is that because some of the assessment are on group bases, one’s inaction is detrimental to the whole group. Two of my group members were not in talking terms with each other and this caused a huge shortfall in our first scenario session. There were many negative feedback especially about the scenario.
How did you manage the challenges?
Was your management of the challenges successful? – {I was able to verbally advice each party individually both on phone and face to face and there were cordiality and mutual respect in before the second scenario session.
How do you know? – {
What will you take away from this learning experience?
How do you think the learning gained will impact on your future practice?
How will you build upon the learning gained?
You should support your reflection with clear evidence of your contribution to the Discussion Board Activity, during which you discussed your development.
Have you developed further since or because of the discussion?
How do you know?
What did you do to further your development?
You should do this by cutting and pasting relevant aspects of the discussion threads in your write up (these are not included in the word limit).These can be provided as additions within your text or within an Appendix.
Do be aware when including these elements to respect confidentially. This includes your peers as well as patients or placement areas, therefore do not identify other students by name.
If you do not include these discussion threads you will lose a significant number of marks, as evidence of participation in the Discussion Board Activity is assessed as elements in Part 3.
Reflection is a personal experience, but you will need to demonstrate that you have read around the topics you are discussing. Referenced evidence you could include may draw on themes you have encountered in this and other modules. As an example, if you were to discuss your feelings around leadership or team-work as the module progressed, you could make sense of events by linking them to relevant theories of leadership. Accurate citation and referencing is expected as with any other piece of academic work, and you can access UWL library resources (such as Cite Them Right on-line).
Please contact the module team if these guidelines are unclear.
