Reflection and Self-Evaluation

Topics

Reflective Learning

Self-Evaluation

Where will you be in five years?

What’s the point of University?

More than training you to complete tasks

More than a guide to today’s software

Much of what you learn now will be obsolete in 5 years!

Develop the skills and strategies to help you continually develop over your professional career

Learning through doing

More than just a training course

Stop and think

Demonstrate what you have learned

Not enough to just do – have to understand

Progress

Reflective Learning

Schön (1983) suggests that the capacity to reflect on action so as to engage in a process of continuous learning was one of the defining characteristics of professional practice.

Learning Spiral

Applies in many contexts

Practical work

Assignment work - especially when things go badly

Marks and feedback

Self Evaluation

How did last week’s presentation go?

What did you learn?

How would you grade your work?

Why do we ask? Get you to look at mark guidelines Reflect on what you have written Do you have time for a re-write to do better?

Students often realistic at this task

What went wrong?

Do Be honest Point out problems Reflect on what you

accomplished and how you could improve

Don’t Trot out the old

faithful “Better time management”

Be evasive Be vague Ignore the issues

Marking self-evaluation

Not an attempt to get you to confess to a bad assignment!

If there are marks for evaluation, you will gain the marks by being Honest Reflective Constructive

These are marks to be gained not lost!

Not just a strategy

Actively seek to improve each time

You will improve with practice

Pay attention to the marking scheme and the assignment brief
