Writing Reflection

Reflective writing allows students to think deeply about their learning and gain self-knowledge. It is important for formalizing reflections to demonstrate that learning has occurred. Without reflecting on experiences, the learning potential may be lost. To write reflectively, students should not just describe something that happened but should think analytically and use examples. The Gibbs reflective cycle provides a framework for reflection, including describing what happened, evaluating feelings and perspectives, analyzing causes and impacts, and concluding with lessons learned and plans for the future. Sample questions can guide reflections in different subject areas.

WRITING

REFLECTIONS
REFLECTIVE WRITING
- A way of thinking that lets you dive deeper into
knowledge and explore your learning.
- A golden opportunity to gain self- knowledge.
- A means of achieving clarity and a better
understanding of what you are learning.
Reflective Paragraph

A reflection paragraph simply speaks about


your thoughts are on something, rather than a
summary or a description of that something
itself
Importance of Reflective Writing
We reflect quite naturally in our day-to-day lives, thinking
about things that have happened, whether we handled
them well. In academia, you may be asked to formalize
your reflections to show that learning is taking place.

“ It is not sufficient to have an experience in order to


learn. Without reflecting on this experience, it may be
quickly forgotten, or its learning potential lost.” (GRAHAM
GIBBS, 1988)
How to Write a Reflective Paragraph?

Writing reflectively for the purposes of an assignment


should not involve merely describing something that
happened. Nor does it mean pouring out everything
you think and feel in a totally unstructured way.
Reflective writing requires a clear line of thought, the
use of evidence or examples to illustrate your
reflections, and an analytical approach.
GIBBS REFLECTIVE CYCLE
Professor Graham Gibbs (1988)

Description- What did you do? What was the context?


Where did it happen? How did it happen? (Keep it
relevant, give background information to the point)
Feelings- What were you thinking? How did you feel?
(Before and after the incident)
Evaluation- What made you happy/ unhappy about
the incident? What was good/bad about the
experience? What were your reactions? (look both
sides to the situation)
Analysis- Why did things happen the way they did?
What sense can you make of the situation? Are there any
perspectives that challenge your views? What might have
helped or hindered you?
Conclusion- What else could you have done? What
have you learned? What can you change in the future?
(Come to a general as well as a specific conclusion)
Action Plan- If you find yourself in a similar situation
again, what would you do? What are you going to do
differently next time? What steps are you going to take
on the basis of what you have learnt?
