Criteria that demonstrate a good reflective journal entry
• Evidence of learning from the relating of theory to observations and practical situations with respect to any aspect of learning with inclusion of references to other material.
• Evidence of self-awareness – For example, it may show evidence of the learner ‘standing outside the situation’ in order to observe self in particular situations. This may be reflected upon in conjunction with particular self-assessment undertaken within the module, or within other modules.
• Evidence of critical reflection that results in obvious new and usable learning:
– A description of the ‘stimulant’ for reflection (e.g. incident, idea etc.)
– Evidence of going back over the incident (etc.), thinking about it later, bringing to bear relevant extra information (theory, things said, advice, previous experience etc.).
– The drawing out of some sort of conclusion and evidence of learning from the reflective process that is then used in the planning or operation of further activities
