Description technique -
I have found that descriptive technique is almost like writing a story, I have allowed myself to document my thoughts and feeling a little more, as i feel that it describes the situation better and i can relay the actual story rather than it being too black and white.
Initial Reflection -My thoughts on initial reflection are that this pin points exactly how you're feeling at the time the event takes place. I think if i were to write this reflection a few days after perhaps my feelings would be different?
List -I found this technique quite hard, and not too sure I actually stuck to just doing a list, more elaborated bullet point thoughts. Otherwise i felt it would be too brief and when i resisted later on i wouldn't perhaps know what i had been talking about?
Evaluation Technique -Evaluation technique has made me thinking more about the aftermath of things which helps me to understand the best way to move forward with them. I think this technique doesn't always have to be done straight away after the day as your thoughts on the situation can develop and then revisited which would help the evaluation of the situation which would add more understanding of what worked and what didn't.
Graphs Charts & Diagrams -This so far has been my favourite technique, by seeing it in sections helps to break up the situation and show what i can learn from what happened, it makes the information much easier to digest. Below is a copy of my diagram I used the Gibbs 1988 reflective Cycle technique. 'Learning researcher Graham Gibbs discussed the use of structured debriefing to facilitate the reflection involved in Kolb's experiential learning cycle. Gibbs presents the stages of a full structured debriefing.' - Wikipedia (As can be seen in the diagram).
What If? - This technique i felt was a little far fetched, almost like i was dreaming a situation, i guess i could then reflect on what i have found from this but i don't feel these are realistic thoughts to draw upon as the children i teach especially in this school are so unpredictable.
Another View -I chose to use my co teacher for this as we would have different prospective of the class which we often discuss after it has finished, I didn't want to do a view of an object as i obviously don't know its personality so would just be my own thoughts! however i do know my co teacher quite well so i can imagine in certain situations exactly what she is thinking.
By doing this task it has helped me to find the best reflective technique which worked for me. I am a picture person so Gibbs 1988 Reflective cycle really worked well for me, I felt it also collaborated some of the other techniques, there is some evaluation in there as well as description of what happened. This would help me to get a wider prosepective on my reflection of the days events.
