Reflection “ A generic term for those intellectual and affective activities in which individuals engage to explore their experiences in order to lead to a new understanding and appreciation" Boud, D. Keogh, R. Walker, D. (1985) Reflection: Turning experience into learning. London: Kogan Pagea A reflective practitioner is one that learns from their experiences by critically reviewing their actions, considering the impact of those actions and planning what they would do in similar situations in the future.

Measuring processes and outcomes How will we know that a change is an improvement? What change can we make that will result in improvement? What have others done? What hunches do we have? What can we learn as we go along?

Boud, Keogh and Walker (1985) address emotions: For them reflection is an activity in which people 'recapture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate it' (ibid: 19). • Returning to experience - that is to say recalling or detailing salient events. • Attending to (or connecting with) feelings- this has two aspects: using helpful feelings and removing or containing obstructive ones. • Evaluating experience- this involves re-examining experience in the light of one's intent and existing knowledge etc. It also involves integrating this new knowledge into one's conceptual framework. (ibid: 26-31)
