Using a reflective framework
Reflection as a tool for personal and professional development needs a bit of effort. Yes, it is a personal activity, which could lead to a personal form of writing (like a diary). But it is also a disciplined activity, which invites you to look at what you did and how you did it, and perhaps accept that you did it well – or that you now see how you could do it better next time. This will lead to an ordered form of writing, and the framework you choose will help you find this form.
'Reflect on an incident that occurred in your workplace…’ This is the sort of task that is set as a written assignment. We have written a short account of a Health Visitor’s interactions with a particular family. We then analyse and reflect on this using some of the frameworks that are frequently used in reflective writing.
