Reflection on action is as described above where one contemplates in retrospect. Reflection is largely about self development t as it adds to your knowledge and also challenges beliefs and concepts that you may hold. Reflection is only effective if one follows through with action. 1.2 Analyse the rationale for reflective practice It is human nature that we generally learn from experience, once we have had and experience we naturally observe and reflect on it, through this we form concepts/beliefs and then we test this out in new situations, this goes round in circles each time our view/concepts are being changed as we experience new things. In this cycle self-observation and evaluation helps to understand one’s own actions and to refine one’s practice on an ongoing basis for the benefits of the communities being served.
Why is it desirable to maximise individual and team participation in learning events and how can this be done?

Reflective practice is a term used to describe a technique for analysing and addressing developmental needs which we may have. It is a process by which we look back on how we work or have worked, identifying weaknesses and areas for improvement. Reflective practice also enables us to identify strengths which we can maintain. Reflecting on our practice therefore helps us to improve and develop ourselves. Reflective practice can take place: verbally – discussing our progress and practice with managers, supervisors, tutors or colleagues in writing – such as writing an account or diary of daily activities, developments or incidents, and identifying ways in which we could use these experiences to improve.
Reflective practice is important to the development of lecturers as professionals as it enables us to learn from our experiences of teaching and make easier student learning. Developing reflective practise means developing ways of reviewing our own teaching so that it becomes a routine and a process by which we might continuously develop. Kolb’s Learning Style Model. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles Kolb developed a theory of experiential learning that can give us a useful model by which to develop our practise. This
Process Report of a Client Centred Therapy Session Reflection and Literature Review "It is that the individual has within himself or herself vast resources for self-understanding, for altering his or her self-concept, attitudes and self-directed behavior - and that these resources can be tapped if only a definable climate of facilitative psychological attitudes can be provided."

I would record this formally by writing up reports and records and in-formally by communicating with my learners via tutorial sessions and individual assessments. Individual assessments gives me the opportunity to assess each individual leaners strengths and weaknesses and I can evaluate and change my training methods accordingly. My responsibility is to evaluate what needed to be covered was, if my teaching methods worked, and learners got it, if not, reassess and design different ways of teaching to achieve

I discovered a way to both objectify and subjectively my personal feelings, perceptions and thoughts, and how to analyze the content when faced with challenging situations.

I learned how to be observant in the experience what possible meaning could these observations have in relationship to oppression, privilege and diversity. This experience really opened my eyes as it relates to oppression, privilege, diversity because learning is a process that first begins with concrete experiences and that should lead to reflective observations about the experience. This assignment allowed me the opportunity to conceptualize and test the implications of the experience in future situations that may occur as a social worker.
