Reflective Practice&

Professional Autonomy

Reflective Practice

Puts you in control of any

changes that should be made

Challenges the way things are

done

Empowers

you

Results in a more satisfying job experience

Helps you see

things from another’s point of view

Lets you take responsibility for

your actions

Leading to autonomous thinking

We

determine “how to work” rather than “what to do”

Its not

about

having independence in making decisions,

We

understand what is right

and

wrong about

our

practice…

and then making decisions for the

benefit of improving your practice!

Becoming a reflective practitioner with professional autonomy

Unconscious incompetence

• You get a lift from a friend. Driving looks easy. You do not know what the fuss is all about. Lessons are a waste of money really.

Conscious incompetence

• As you take your first driving lessons you discover driving is more difficult that you thought. You recognise you are an incompetent driver. You have to think hard when making decisions on the road.

Conscious competence

• You pass your test and know you have met the required standards for driving. You begin unsupurvised driving, enjoy giving friends and family lifts and take pride in driving safely and well.

Unconscious competence 1

• You drive safely and well and are relaxed when you arrive at your destination. You no longer think about your driving technique and you take your skill for granted.

Unconscious competence 2 or

Unconscious incompetence?

• You arrive at your destination having travelled around three roundabouts and two zebra crossing BUT you cannot remember a think about the journey. Did you go through a red light? Did you go too fast down that 80 Kph road?
