Activity 1

Briefly summarise your patch content in the shapes

Draw arrows to indicate any connections there may be between the patches – annotate the arrow lines with those connected ideas

Activity 2

Choose 4 squares of coloured paper and number them

Blue = 1; yellow = 2; green = 3; pink = 4 Arrange the squares, using the wool as the

connecting thread, in a way that represents your overall learning

• Eg.

Activity 3

Discuss your configuration of patches and your learning process in a small group (your own learning should be familiar with your patches by now)

Remember – there is no ‘wrong’ way … just different ways of conceptual development processes

So ….

Thinking about your reflexive commentary now, what are the key points you have learnt and developed through creating these different patches – they should relate to your own practice, your professional development, any ‘golden threads’, and how you meet the module learning outcomes overall through this process

Reflective & reflexive …. Being reflective is usually equated with terms such as

'thinking about', 'mulling over', 'pondering on‘ Being reflexive is the next step on from reflection

• it requires you to take action as a result of your critical thinking

• by influencing and altering the situation within your sphere of control

Restructuring your thinking and practice as a result of reflection starts by recognising, considering and challenging assumptions (yours and others) and then planning how you may practice differently to enact your new understandings
