Reflection

Thursday, August 26, 2010

Reflective writing:

The need to think reflectively improves your ability to read critically and analyse ideas presented in class as well as daily experiences. As you write, you clarify your own understanding. The process of thinking and writing reflectively helps you to lay philosophical foundations for all of your creative work.

Thinking reflectively helps you:

Understand the concept of reflective writing
Recognise the benefits of reflecting on your developing an idea or philosophy
