Reflection and Evaluation Models in Education and Training DET

This report provides an analysis of reflection and evaluation theories and models applicable to education and training, particularly within the context of a Diploma in Education and Training (DET) course. It begins by examining various theories and models of reflection, emphasizing their importance for trainee teachers in developing their practice and performance. The Gibbs reflective cycle is highlighted as a primary model, detailing its stages: Description, Feeling, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion, and Action Plan. Each stage is explained with personal reflections on teaching experiences, addressing both positive and negative aspects. The report further explores how these theories and models can be applied to review one's own teaching practice, focusing on the development of essential skills such as communication, time management, problem-solving, and interactive skills. It underscores the importance of student-centric learning and continuous improvement through referral and liaison practices, ultimately aiming for process and outcome-based learning and career growth.

TASK
5.1 Analyse theories and models of reflection and evaluation.
There are various theories and models of reflection and evaluation which is necessary to identify
own practice. In education and teaching for trainee course, it is necessary to analyse necessary
practices which will require for own development and performance (Chng, 2018). This shows
that, it is necessary to use models of reflection for the course of DET practices. The main model
is Gibbs reflective cycle which is described below:
Description: as per this stage, an individual could state their overall experience as to
what has happened. Therefore, it provides an effective evaluation of all the activities and actions
which has taken. This stage define the people involved, their roles and task and how it has
impacted on own working areas. Therefore, by analysing what has happened, it will be easy to
make valid conclusion.
Feeling: As per this stage, the feeling will be described through overall experience. This
shows that how came all the activities has influenced on own personality and traits. Being a
teacher, I have come across with many feelings while teaching in the classroom, forming
curriculum and solve student problem. In my own practice, I came through with an ease of
clearly stating the role to the students which made me nervous during my first day of teaching. I
was nervous as to how I will understand their needs and requirements.
Evaluation: This stage defines the experience in both positive and negative manner. It
shows an extensive experience in own working which assures that there is requirement of
necessary improvements (Ingham-Broomfield, 2021). It defines how all actions and activities
have performed and what could be done in better manner. By being a teacher, I have analysed
the experience through which I came to know that my behaviour and teaching styles sometimes
differs as per the expectations of the students. Apart from this, I have used my communication
skills greatly through which I am able to responds to their queries and doubts and provide them
clear guidance. For the impact of guidance and important activities, I have prepared curriculum
for a systematic way of teaching.
Analysis: This stage describes that, a proper analysis is necessary to find out what has
happened and what required for further skills and knowledge. There is requirement of various

teaching skills like interactive and time management to complete the syllabus on time and check
student projects.
Conclusion: This stage refers to the semi endings stage which sums up all the experience
in necessary areas (Hansen, 2019). It provides finding on own skills and expertise and keeps
check on areas f improvement.
Action plan: This stage refers to take the actions by looking at overall experience gone.
The action plan will include key skill, targets and resources which will helps in achieving these
skills in an appropriate manner.
5.2 Explain ways in which theories and models of reflection and evaluation can be applied to
reviewing own practice.
The theories and model of reflection can be applied in own practice of DET education and
training, I could easily reflect on my own learning and practices as being teacher for my own
career growth. I have analysed from being a trainee teacher that, there is need for learning
necessary skills like communication, time management, problem solving and interactive skills.
These skills will help me to engage with students in a better manner and learn about their
preferences towards learning style (Rąb-Kettler, 2018). By being student centric, I could focus
their strength and weak factors to carry out effective learning practices. This shows that, in order
to perform necessary targets, I will be able to solve my doubts through taking points of referral
and liaisons practices. Therefore, the models of evaluation are also taken into account which
focus on process and outcome based learning. By evaluating own practice in teaching areas, I
have learned about my weak area which is lack of time management skills and less interaction
with students. It shows that, I need to work on these aspects in order to perform better in my
roles and responsibilities. For that instance, I will take actions for improving these skills within 2
months.
