Reflective Practice

Course guide

Reflective practice is the process of reflecting on past professional experiences in order to identify areas of strength and opportunities for development. The ability to effectively evaluate your own professional skills and behaviour is a key skill.

The module addresses the importance managing your professional development. It provides a forum to discuss your experiences of a range of employment-related areas, such as equalities, communication, teamwork, sustainability and reflective practice.

Learning, teaching and assessment

You'll participate in a range of activities, such as mentoring, volunteering and paid work, to develop the personal and professional skills important for both employment and successful study. You may base your work around one activity or several, depending on the learning opportunities presented.

The module also includes classroom-based training sessions, supplemented and amplified by online teaching material, information and examples.

Throughout the module you'll keep a multimedia ePortfolio of your activity and progress. Your Supervisor will monitor this and provide feedback and suggestions for further development.

Online support from your peers and Supervisor are an important part of this module. There will be a range of group activities to address specific skills issues and to engage in reflective practice.
