The reflection of
learning is a kind of
academic
requirement that a
student must fulfil. It
shows how to reflect
upon personal
performance and
analyse own strong
and weak areas of
learning. In my own
learning, I felt that
learning require
personal reflection
on what student
have learned. I was
not first aware about
reflective piece and
does not able to
reflect as it is the
vital part which
require regular
practice and
development. So
that, student could
only work on that
when they are able to
reflect on what they
have learned (Nyar,
2020). I learned from
this topic about the
relevance of
reflection as it plays
vital role in finding
self mistakes and
make plans for
learning in according
to that.
Learning is the most
essential part of
individual life which
goes continuously
throughout the life.
So, the future of

what they have

The lesson learnt
during the session
will be effective for
future studies as it
will create a base for
other parts of
learning.
Actions are the most
necessary stage in
reflection of
learning. After
evaluating mistakes
and identify areas of
further
improvement, I
required to record
each weak area of
learning and create
action on which
development is
required. This action
could get
implemented
through applying
various models of
reflection such as
Gibbs reflective
cycle, Kolbs. With
the help of these, I
will come to know
about all the
grievances and
evaluation of my
experience.
Therefore, actions
would be taken
through developing
skills which are not
properly developed.
I will write one
page of my learning
which I have learned
during the session
and rate my skills for
future development.
