and its practices with its impact over personal and professional development. In addition to this

MAIN BODY
TASK 1
Reflective report
The major purpose of reflection and reflective practices is to analyse and recognise
various strength and weaknesses through which adequate guidance is offered in relation to
continuous learning and development. In this self direction and motivation is induced through
which quality services is processed by which working ability and capabilities get enhanced. It
describe the sustained learning by which sufficient learning and its insight is processed as by
examining various practices (Mittelstadt, 2019). It promotes emotional intelligence within which
effectual development as with developing clear understanding along with advancement of
creative thinking skills and learning by which working engagement and involvement is advanced
so that individual is able to make higher learning in relation to work processes. The reflection
based on health and social care is to attain essential changes and improvisation in which care-
giving attitude is developed so that ability to take appropriate actions is induced with perfection.
It is as furthermore explained below with help of various model of reflection and that is as
explained below as:
Kolb's reflective cycle: It is a cycle that is also be known as experimental learning cycle
which is published in 1984 by David Kolb as under this sustained development of learning
inventory is styled in adequate mode. It furthermore consist of learning style that is processed
with experimental way as moreover it get divided into four stages that provide certain concern
towards internal cognitions procedure. It is a state that reflect sustained learning which also
1

involve balanced acquisition of various concepts by which appropriate flexibility in working
situation are range is processed with adequateness (Elzamzamy and Keshavarzi, 2019). In
relation to this theory, impetus development is addressed by which overall experience and its
adequateness both get enhanced. It is also be defined that learning is processed in terms of
knowledge advancement as it is created and developed in form of transformation of experience.
There are different stages that is comprised within the reflective cycle and it is as furthermore
explained below as:
(Source: Kolb's learning styles and experimental learning cycle, 2020)
Diverging: It is a stage in which I have looking forward to accept various prospective
that induced certain sense and productiveness within the working standards. It this I have also be
preferred to do something rather than to watch only and with this the tendency of mine to collect
and gather relative information is processed and it is also be done with support of ability to solve
problem and usage of imagination as well (Lee, Kim and Chae, 2020). For this I have start
viewing various situations with prospect of different viewpoint and under this working ability
and its capabilities both get advanced an in this I am also be able to generate more ideas by
which brainstorming skills also get developed that promote broader cultural aspects.

Assimilating: In this stage I have preferred to learn about the different ways that usually
involve logical and concise approaches at where different ideas and learning is processed on
continuous way. In this clear idea and explanation about an individual prospect is addressed by
which rate of probability and opportunity both get advanced and improvised in sustained mode.
In this I have ensure that I learned about importance and requirement of information organisation
as with this clarity among framework and logical understanding is implemented. I have induced
clear attractive propositions through which I am able to make practical assumptions and with this
learning is processed as per theoretical concepts. In addition I have also processed by learning in
relation to situational benefits by which I have advanced my learning and thinking capabilities in
sustained mode.
Converging: It is a style of learning that is used to resolve practical issues with this
technicalities is induced so that I am able to make quicker and finest decision maker as with this
wider solution is analysed for single problem (Bijani, Tehranineshat and Torabizadeh, 2019). It
assist me to become specialist within specific field so that ability to induce technicalities is
advanced in systematic manner. In this I have stimulate various conditions and with this
moderate level of expectancy is induced with perfection.
Accommodating: It is a style of learning in which I have learned and worked on my
intuition as with this logical learning is enhanced in effective mode. In this I have worked on to
manage and control different challenges as within this planning and strategy formulation by
which working experience is enhanced in systematic manner. It promote suitable development of
instinct by which accommodating and styling is promoted by prevalence outcome is attained in
timely frame.
For this the skills and learning of mine to worked over health and social care is developed
in constrained mode that furthermore assist to developed effectual learning under which ability
to enhance working capabilities is enhanced in successful mode. Ideally, it enhances the learning
and experience of mine in applicable mode as along with this I am able to advance my
knowledge in sequential manner.
Atkins and Murphy model of reflection: It is a model that was developed and created by
Atkins in order to study the intent and creation of individual's experience and expectations by
which balanced level of improvisation is induced with parallel to reflective practice.

It is a model that is used to measure explicit support as in order to develop deeper
understanding about various prospect as under this ability to make ensure about potential
learning and development is completed by showing better response (Riklikiene, Karosas and
Kaseliene, 2018). For this potential and working capabilities is enhanced as with this superficial
response is altered towards each condition as by analysing questioning, critical understanding
and challenging of different elements in conscious manner. It promote overall experience as by
advancing and examining feelings and emotions by which rate of dependency and clarity both
get promoted successfully. It is also be promoted as per consideration of self awareness in which
uncomfortable situations and conditions get analysed by which learning also get evaluated with
prospect of experience and events. Furthermore, I have worked to learn the different prospect as
with occurrence of working capabilities and capacities by which practitioner values and
responsibilities get promoted and advanced in regular basis.
It might that practitioner always generate and develop false situations thus in this as per
concern of model of reflection as with this various aspects get understand through which better
clarity and its sustained knowledge is developed effectively. In addition reflexivity also induces a
balanced feeling of improvements by which I have make better advancement in personality
within future period of time. The theory also believes that actions of an individual must get
encounter the outcome through which balanced focus is maintained towards self development
4

and improvisation. I have also make adjustable improvement as within this sustained level of
commitment is addressed as with this it laid to make better learning from gaining experiences.
It is a reflection that was developed for nurses by which they have performed their work
in various field and within this level of difficulty is reduces as by attaining discomfort situations
by which working efficiency is emphasised so that better level of encouragement is induced. For
this I have make better analysis about challenging and its patterns so that overall behaviour is
advanced by making self improvement (Schmidt and McArthur, 2018). It has various pros as
with lot of detailing is induced that encourage deep thinking, flexibility among various fields and
it also provide a template of overall experience. It has few cons as well as it induce slight
complexity that also reflect direct interrelation in context to better thinking.
CONCLUSION
It has been concluded from above report that personal and professional development is
induced within the individual in order to maintain clear knowledge and understanding so that
productive amount of changes is addressed within the overall personality as with this working
behaviour and attitude both get modified. It is also be supported with the help of reflection in
which continuous learning is promoted under which ability to make productive changes in
working attitude is implemented with adequateness. For this Kolbs and Atkins model of
reflection is considerate under which sustained help to make self motivation and awareness is
increases that furthermore assist to provide better services in context to health and social care
industry.
