Reflective Diary 2011-12

Synopsis

Almost all professional courses include modules on reflective practice and professional development. During these modules, students are asked to keep a reflective diary. Many do not know how to do this or where to start; this diary will show them how. Its fortnightly content with practical exercises makes theory interesting, easy and accessible and a key quote every other week alongside a full bibliography provides stimulus for advanced reading. By completing the exercises, students build their diary throughout the year and can use it as the basis for the required assessed work to pass their module on reflective practice. The Diary draws on the work of key authors such as Schon, Kolb, Gibbs, Johns, Boud, Keogh and Walker, and Moon, as well as many more. Essential for any student on a professional course such as Allied Health, Career Guidance, Counselling, Learning Support, Medicine, Nursing, Social Work, Teaching or Youth Work, The Reflective Diary is also suitable for people who are undertaking professional development courses in the workplace.
