MAIN BODY
LO1
Driscoll reflection model
Driscoll model of reflection is basically the reflection model which is being used by
individuals for gaining an insight of the particular event or activity and reflecting upon one's own
experience.
What
This stage of the Driscoll model basically relates to the description of a particular event
or activity. For example- During my academic life, I was assigned a project of biology in a team.
This project was basically about giving the presentation and report related to the functioning and
metabolism within human body (Fontaine, 2018). The tutor divided the teams for the project and
each team consist of around 10 members for the completion of project. I was in a team where my
senior was the team leader and was responsible for leading the whole team. The project was to be
finished within 5 days and each and every student was given some responsibility of the project.
So what
This is the another most important stage within Driscoll model and mainly addresses
analysis of the p[articular event. In short, this stage mainly relates to the learning which has
emerge as the result of the entire event. In this project, I was given the task to prepare for the
presentation about the metabolism within human body in an attractive manner such that it results
in the passing grades for whole team. During the project, I was highly intimated as well as
nervous as I was not much aware about how to make an effective presentation and what
essentials need to be considered while giving the presentation. Besides this, due to my introvert
nature I was hesitating to ask from my team leader and other students regarding the presentation.
I was highly anxious in interacting with other team members and this made me realize that I lack
behind in terms of effective communication (Snowdon, 2018).
