Write to Learn: Reflective Practice Writing

Abstract

Reflection is an attitude which makes the difference between 20 years of experience or only 1 year of experience repeated 20 times. Reflection is a state of mind, an ongoing constituent of practice, not a technique or curriculum element. It is a way of learning from one's own experience to inform practice, widen perspectives and challenge assumptions, taken-for-granteds and damaging social and cultural biases and a way of learning from the experience of others.
