What is Reflection?

Reflection is to consider and think deeply about something.

their strength and limitations according to audience and purpose while
reflection focuses on own learning and perspective.

Reflective learners are able to:

1. Encourage feedback and respond positively to praise and criticism.


2. Think about how they are learning when completing learning activities e.g.
they might learn best by discussing with others.
3. Can identify their personal strengths and explain these to others.
4. Can identify and areas they need to develop e.g listening or research
skills.
5. Explain how they are going to improve or develop a skilss e.g improving
reflective skills by asking themselves how they learn best.

What is Teamwork?

Teamwork is when a group of people work together as a whole, towards a shared


goal/ outcome, with a positive working atmosphere.

Effective teamwork relies on the combination of individual strengths brought to


the team.

NB: Working as a team is different from working in a team. To work as a team,


you need to work with a group of people to achieve a shared goal or outcome in
an effective way.

Reflecting on a suitable Course of Action

A Course of action is a plan or method for achieving a specific aim or goal. This
might involve producing an outcome like a video, leaflet, brochure or
presentation.

A course of action might also be an event like a bake sale to raise money for a
particular cause.

When considering a suitable course of action, you should think of the following
questions:

1. Is the course of action specific? Does it relate to the issue and ‘what’
exactly are we trying to achieve?
2. Is the course of action measurable? How will we know if it is successful?
3. Is it achievable? Can we do it within the given time? Can we do it with th
resources we have?
4. Is it realistic? Is it practical?
5. Is it time-bound? Do we have enough time?
