Reflection is a skill that must be developed. Just as the kind of reflection that a critic applies to a work of art or literature, it is something that develops with time and experience. It requires guidance and practice.

Ask yourself:
What did I plan to do?
What did I do?
What were the outcomes for me, the team with whom I was working, and others?
Did I meet my goals?
Why or why not?
Moving beyond the four questions above, experiential learners might consider, where appropriate, for you and others, and for each stage of an activity (before, during and after):
How did I feel?
What did I perceive?
What did I think about the activity?
What did the activity mean to me?
What was the value of the activity?
What did I learn from the activity and how might this learning be applied more widely?
You may want to consider the ethical aspects by reflecting on:
What is service?
Why is service to the family not considered as a service?
Am I trying to help or empower people with a service?
What obligation do I have to the person who is being served?
How do I finish a service relationship?
What do I do if the person does not want my service?
The difficulty lies in the complexity of the possible answers. Writing is only one possible way to reflect. You may also choose to make scrapbooks, photo essays, videos or blogs. You may use journals or other varied portfolios. You will use ManageBac.
