Guidance for the Reflective account

The account should be a reflection of your experience of and development over the duration of the module. Therefore, there needs to be a sense of progression in your thinking in respect of your learning needs and goals and skills development in your placement.

Your reflective account should be personal – it should be written in the first person and engage with your thoughts and feelings as well as with relevant literature. You might want to consider using a model of reflection to help structure your work and to inform the reflective process.

Try to balance sufficient and focused description of the areas you select to reflect on with an analysis of your learning. You will probably need to select key issues to reflect on in depth rather than address all aspects of your identified needs and goals. You must critically appraise your own development and performance and compare and contrast this appraisal with feedback given in the workplace and university. You will also need to identify how this has influenced and informed your personal development needs and career goals and your revised CV.
