Chapter 13 Reflective practice
This chapter seeks to enable you to gain familiarity with the key features of reflective
practice. Specifically, you should become aware that reflective practice is not an
isolated phenomenon but a process designed to assist us to learn from what we do, gaining
knowledge and experience, not from conventional sources, such as textbooks, journals and
study days, but from the richest source of learning - practice itself. At the end of the
chapter, you should be able to:
- Identify sources and types of knowledge, and their potential shortcomings in the nurse
education setting
- Contrast the media image of nurses against the reality
- Define reflective practice and its contribution to nursing practice
- Identify and utilise reflection-in- and -on-action
- Contrast ritualistic and reflective practice
- Formulate and use critical incident analysis as a means of reflection
- Identify the place that experience plays in developing knowledge
