Reflective practice is very commonly used word in early
years practice and learning particularly. As majority of the modules come to
end now in the Open University is great opportunity for all students to look
back and take a stock of many aspects of their learning and how it can impact
their practice. Hold the mirror close and see how your learning and you as an early
year’s practitioner have changed!
Start with the beginning of the module and your learning’s
starting point along with the study skills that you were confident in. Has the
module added more confidence or added as a new academic skill that you can take
forward to the next module?
Relook the knowledge part the module has contributed to your
holistic development as an early year’s practitioner. Would you feel confident now
say for example, talking about a particular theory, concept, ideas that has
really been novel to you on the module?
Has there been a change of approach and direction in how
your personal and job-related commitments have been managed on the module so
far? What has worked for you as an early year’s student for time
management?
Think of the advice that you would like to give to yourself
may be to a new student on the module. This helps you to rethink and reflect to
“tune in” to your worries at the start of the module and what not to take
forward to the next module journey.
Mirror, mirror on the wall…
