Reflective practice are methods and techniques that help individuals and groups reflect on their experiences and actions in order to engage in a process of continuous learning. By trying out methods of reflection and personal inquiry we can nurture greater self-awareness, imagination and creativity, as well as systemic, non-linear modes of thinking and analysis. Reflective Practice is a very adaptable process. It is a set of ideas that can be used alongside many other concepts for training, learning, personal development, and self-improvement. We can use Reflective Practice for our own development and/or to help others to develop. Especially in students, to develop their higher order thinking skills.

Within any given moment, when faced with a professional issue, a practitioner usually connects with their feelings, emotions and prior experiences to attend to the situation directly. On the other hand, Reflection-on-action, is the idea that after the experience a practitioner analyses their reaction to the situation and explores the reasons around, and the consequences of, their actions. This is usually conducted through a documented reflection of the situation. However, this notion goes beyond just looking back on experiences and exploring the reasoning behind actions. Rather, it brings into action Schon's notions of "responding to problematic situations, problem framing, problem solving, and the priority of practical knowledge over abstract theory" according to Shapiro, Harvey …show more content…
Ganshirt's design cycle was preceded by Robert McKim's simpler design cycle (express, test, cycle), first published in (1972). The four steps in Ganshirt's design cycle are: thinking, expression, tools, perception. The design cycle is understood as a circular time structure, which may start with the thinking of an idea, then expressing it by the use of visual and/or verbal means of communication (design tools), the sharing and perceiving of the expressed idea, and starting a new cycle with the critical rethinking of the perceived idea. Architect Jane Anderson (2011) pointed out that this concept emphasizes the importance of design tools, which at the same time are the means of expression and the means of perception of a design idea. These means or design tools enable and structure visual and verbal design thinking. Thomas Wortmann argued that Ganshirt's design cycle and Schon's reflection-in-action are descriptive models that integrate designing as a spontaneous act and designing as an explicit process, but they do not explain in detail how spontaneity and methodical detail can be reconciled; Wortmann (2013) provided a more specific rule-based

Driscoll (2000) model) consists of three stages (What, So what & Now what) completing one cycle help me to improve my caring practice continuously and learning from those experience for better practice in the future. The cycle starts with a description of the situation (“What”), which include analysis of the incident. “So what” evaluate the experience, including the analysis to make sense of the experience, and the final stage “Now what” is a conclusion of what else could I have done better and an action plan to prepare for, if the similar situation arose again. Baird and winter (2005) gave some reasons why reflection is required in the reflective practice. They highlighted that a reflection could generate the practical knowledge, help to adapt
It includes describing the incident, your thoughts and feelings at that time, evaluation about the incident, analysis of the situation, what else could you have done, and the action plan that if happen again, what will you do? Reflective practice enables healthcare professionals not to be stagnating and do strategic planning. It is part of their continuous professional development and an assurance of high standards of care quality provided. Reflective practice bridges gap between theory and practice (Brightside,

Reflective Practice in the Early Years Tools for Practitioners 1. Introduction “We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience.” -John Dewey- You have probably heard the term “reflective practice”, but do you really know what this means?
As quoted from Dewey, he considered the root of reflection came from doubt, hesitation or perplexity related to a directly experienced situation. His ideas gave rise to the concept of “reflective practice”. This concept then gained influence with the arrival of Schon’s works (Finlay, L., 2008). Donald Alan Schon’s theory: A new activity usually starts off with application of knowledge, after which it becomes a familiar routine (knowing in action - constancy of our usual patterns).
With reflection it is important that the individual is honest, which needs to be reflected in written record keeping, this enables others to easily understand what has occurred (Williams et al, 2012). Reflective practice is mainly used to assist nurses and healthcare professionals to gain an
In the first decade of the 20th century the ongoing experiments with pure form continued. A group of designers in Glasgow, Scotland became well known for their use of form and their inspired designers from all over the world. “Although the Glasgow group received a cool reception in the British Isles, designers in Austria and Germany were inspired by the move toward geometric structure and simplicity of form.” (britannica) The quote shows that this group’s work had become well known and it inspired others from all over the world.
Schön (1991) presented the concept of 'reflection in action' and 'reflection on action'. “Reflection in action is the process whereby the practitioner recognises a new situation or problem and thinks about it while still acting.” (Burns and Bulman, 2000) First I will discuss reflection in action.

Description Reflection is a necessary component in learning to regulate opinion, feelings, and actions. Reflection links experience and knowledge by providing an opportunity to explore areas of concern in a critical way and to make adjustments based on these reflections (Knowles Z., Tyler G., 2006). I will be using the Gibbs G (1988) Learning by Doing: A guide to teaching and learning methods (Davies S., 2012).
Introduction In this reflective essay I will reflect upon the course based on the assignments and projects I have accomplished this semester. Recent research (Kornblith, 2012:3) identifies that reflection is an active process and making sense of the experience through the understanding of one’s actions. As suggested by (Roberts, 2011:63) she states that the understanding of reflection have been used to develop an action stage, which can further help to improve my skills and knowledge towards my course. This is vital as it ensures that i get the most out of my learning experience and i could use them to their maximum benefit.
Frame of reference on aesthetic is different from ones’ eye to another. In this article, the author, Mads Nygaard Folkmann, try to define his own perceptions towards the word Aesthetic by having the comparison between two philosophers, Merleau-Ponty and Gernot Bohme, and the different approach on aesthetic like Panton and Campbell. The author believes that aesthetic relates to design is by the function that it provides rather than how pleasing the item looks like. He argues that traditional art is more into individualism in a way that when an artist paint his own framework, the artwork can only be appreciate by himself and his own emotion. As for modern design, the author argues that modern design should focus more on serving the purpose
