A Framework for Reflection

Principles

Reflecting upon practice is not always as easy as we may think. It involves moving beyond reflecting on our experiences to a more detailed examination of our own practice. It also involves the need to recognise and identify the different elements of practice and how these are informed and connected.
We therefore start with some basic principles:

· Our objective in reflecting upon practice is to develop our own effectiveness in supporting and facilitating community development.

· Our practice involves self awareness and the application of values, understanding, knowledge and skills into action.

· Our practice is shaped and informed by the context in which we are working.


The framework

This is a theoretical tool which becomes real as it is applied and adapted so as to be relevant to the individual practitioner using it.

Reflecting upon our practice provides the opportunity to develop our awareness and understanding of both ourselves and the situation or context in which we are working. It involves asking ourselves questions about the inputs, the practice and the outcomes of that practice.

The framework on the next page illustrates the connections between inputs, practice and outcomes of community development in what is a constantly changing situation. The detail of what we bring, the context, our practice and the outcomes of that practice is constantly changing but at any one time it is develops out of what has preceded it and leads us to what follows. It is like observing a movie – each time we reflect we are freezing one frame in the movie but in order to understand the whole picture we need to know what came before and what might happen later. It is a complex picture requiring awareness that there are different stories taking place for all players. Reflection helps us to direct our own part in the movie.
