Reflection After Experience . . .

At the end of the semester students are required to right a self-reflection paper on their semester's clinical experience in an attempt to help them make sense of what they learned and experienced

Reflection as Self-directed Learning Tool

Teachers can assist in learning through providing feedback which helps to bridge the gap between theory and practice, but only the learner is capable of knowing their thoughts and feelings and using this to construct knowledge before, during and after the learning experience.

(Boud, 2015) (Boud, Keough, & Walker, 1985).

Reflection During Experience . . .

A thematic analysis of self-reflection journaling in DH students supports Boud's theory

Student self-reflection before, during and after clinical experience helped to connect theory to practice. (Wilkinson, Smallidge & Boyd, 2014).

Students are given prompts each week, in regard to reviewing their clinical work, and then are required to post a journal entry to self-assess their work and reflect on their clinical experiences.

Illustrating the Role of Reflection in Experience-based Learning

Reflection Before Experience . . .

Pre-clinical experiences provide students with an opportunity to evaluate clinical skills as they learn them and in anticipation of direct patient care sessions

Boud suggests that reflection assists in learning and this happens in . . .

Three phases:

Before learning experience

During learning experience

After learning experience

(Boud, Keough, & Walker, 1985).

Boud believes...

Three Phases of Reflection and Their Impact on Learning

Phase 1 - Before...students reflect as a way to explore and prepare for what is coming

Phase 2 - Reflecting and collecting events in the midst of experience helps students to connect theory to practice

Phase 3 - Post-experience reports performed, both formally or informally, assist students in improved learning

(Boud, Keough, & Walker, 1985).

Experience alone is not the key to learning

In order for real learning to occur, the learner must also reflect on the learning experience

Reflection is often overlooked in the learning process

(Boud, Keough, & Walker, 1985).

Experience-Based (a.k.a. Experiential) Learning (EBL)

and David Boud

Contemporary theorist who believes that the foundation for learning is experience

Experience serves as the stimulus for learning

Boud's ideas are based on the experiential learning theories of predecessors such as Piaget, Dewey, Kolb and others

Boud's model places emphasis on reflection

(Boud, Keough, & Walker, 1985).

What is Experience-Based Learning?

A learner-centered approach to learning

vs.

An overly-didactic approach with teacher-led delivery of knowledge
