Reflective Learning

After reading both pieces of work on reflective learning I am beginning to understand that blogging may have some importance on learning and expanding your knowledge. Reflecting on what you have learned can highlight both the negatives and the positives on what you seemed to take in well and what you tend to struggle on.
I have read Kolbs theory and he suggests that that experience alone does not provide a sufficient learning experience in many situations and that there are four main parts; experience, reflection, conceptualization and planning. The learner must link these togther to have the best results in their learning. Gibbs however identified 6 steps to aid reflective practice; description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

All in all I'm starting to come around to that the idea of blogging what you have learned and reflecting will help my identify the ways I learn best and ultimately improve the quality of my work.
