Reflective Practices for Learning and Improvement

Task one
Introduction
The reflective practices are the learning process through which I can learn from my past
experiences. Reflection is the process through which I can learn and understand various
perspectives through others experiences and through my own past experiences as well.
According to researchers, the Reflection is the continuous source of learning and the learning
leads to future reflections. Reflective processes highlight the strengths and weaknesses of my life
and allow me to improve myself. The reflective practices bring improvements in my professional
career as well and allow me to learn various aspects of improvements through my own
experience of the group. The reflective practices allow me to implement the theoretical concepts
of study into practical life (Bergsteiner, 2010).
The reflective process is the source of sharing information and useful for me and for my
team members as well. I have a team of four members and we are preparing for the presentation.
Some of my group members do not use video recordings and consume an extra two minutes as
well. Moreover, my team member belongs to the different domains of heath care unit. My group
of the multidisciplinary team comprises of physiotherapist, Occupational therapist, Nurse, and a
social worker. All of the members are ready to deliver the presentation. The legal regulations are
very much important to work in the multidisciplinary teams. The care act 2014 is a law which
describes that every health professional needs reflective practices in which he must learn from
past experiences. There are various models of reflection such as the Gibbs model of reflective
practices and Flanagan model. However, the model which I used is the Kolb’s learning cycle
which is considered as one of the best models of reflection. I develop the action plan for me and I
set the smart goals for myself (Walsh, 2015).

Task 2
Our target is to deliver a presentation and the four doable tasks are assigned to each of the group
members who are ready to participate in the presentation. One of the members is responsible for
the coordination amongst the group members during the whole presentation. The second and
third member is responsible to design the sequence of presentation and list down the things
which need to be discussed in the session. I am responsible for the on-time completion of the
presentation. All the tasks are clearly defined to each and every member to assure the quality
presentation. I face many difficulties during the whole presentation session because of the lack of
coordination which leads to the mismanagement of time. The team members get confused about
their turns in the presentation which takes more time during the session. The video recording is
also missing in the presentation which drops down the interest of the audience (Walsh, 2015).
I feel that all the issues make the presentation session more complex because the
coordination is very much necessary in the multidisciplinary team. The theoretical model which
is applied by me is the ethics of health care model which describes the ethics to respect the
values of others during the work. This model is very effective is describing to way to work in the
team where the people belongs to multiple cultures. I highlight various issues which takes the
presentation close to the failure such as the non- seriousness in work, Lack of trust on each other
and poor communication level between the group members. In the multi-disciplinary
methodology, each individual from the group is here to get familiar with the path to build up a
solid introduction. As I would see it that our group has a poor joint effort ability which prompts
the poor introduction (Bergsteiner, 2010).
Task no 3
The model which I used is the Kolb’s learning cycle which describes to learn differently
and brings improvement in my profession from past experiences as well. Kolb’s describes the
four stages of learning through which I learn from my past experiences as well. Firstly, he
describes that the task must be assigned to the person to check his abilities and Kolb’s refer to
this stage as a concrete experience. He believes that the best way to learn is practical experience.
I observed that the complex scenario in the presentation session allow me to learn new things
which bring improvements is life. The experience is the best way to check the abilities of the
person and it holds true according to my opinion. Kolb’s describes that the learning process can

proceed through observations as well be the personal experience is the best source of learning.
The second stage which Kolb’s describe in the model is the model of reflective observation. In
this stage, he focuses on learning which can be done from the activities and experiences of the
other persons as well. The person learns different and creative things from the activities of the
other person and implements it on himself as well. Moreover, the reflective observation is to
observe the activities of the person of the related group which can be helpful in the future career
as well. You can observe the activities of the person through open communication from the
members of the group. The particular stage involves the various means and tools of
communication such as the report writing, presentation, verbal and non-verbal means of
communication. This stage allows me to learn the time management practices which brings
improvements in my future. The third stage of the Kolb’s cycle is the abstract conceptualization.
In this stage, the person is learning on the basis of assumptions which he made after observing
the whole incident. However, the assumptions in not one of the best ways of learning because
these are generated from the personal thinking of the person. Sometimes the assumptions are
very much logical and produce effective results as well (Dixon, 2017).
I feel that the person thinks differently and brings positive changes in the profession and
life through assumptions. The assumptions give the person the answer to the number of
questions. The last stage of the Kolb’s learning cycle is the experimentation stage in which an
individual experimented those things which he assumed in the third stage. This stage is very
important because it provides the answers to the numbers of questions which is generated in the
mind of the person form assumptions. Kolb’s learning cycle describes that learning is a
continuous process a person learn from each and everything such as the life experiences of other
people, observations of the incidents which happens in the daily routine. Moreover, he focuses
on the communication level as well. The open communication from the other members of the
related domain is one of the major sources of learning. The main motive behind the learning
cycle is to describe the various ways of learning which bring improvement in life. According to
my own opinion, this model allows me to implement the theoretical concepts in the practical
world (Dixon, 2017).
