My initial thoughts on Part 2 The Reflective Practitioner

Having read the course reader on the subject of Reflection practises I found that reflection is a day-to-day activity that we engage in and something that enables us to analyse a situation or experience. However I think reflection takes place more often than we record. Reflecting is a learning experience, you take a situation and you review it, the learning takes place when you start to question what you could have done differently? or what worked well? This means you can start coming across new ideas and therefore results in learning something new which we should all strive for.
 I reflect on a regular basis and sometimes I reflect with out even acknowledging it! Even though reflection is something I am familiar with I very rarely put down into words how I felt about a particular event or the outcome. Keeping a journal is a new tool for me however I am sure it will benefit me throughout the duration of the course, it will enable me to look back to now in a few months time and hopefully I will see a change in my thoughts and ideas. It will also be interesting to see how I was feeling at each point in the course and the problems and worries I had to overcome.
