How do you assess reflective practice?
2

• What measures to use?
• Research base is lacking
• Judgements likely to include subjectivity
• Assumes shared values systems

3
Some possible measures

• Student shows
• Keen interest in getting better at their craft!
• Ability to make explicit the knowledge that
  drives their practice and critically examine it
• Flexibility in their approach driven by client
  need rather than agency directives
• Awareness of the impact they have on client(s)
• Self awareness can distinguish between their own
  needs/feelings and those of their client(s)
• Clarity about their role

4
A few more.

• Ability to take appropriate responsibility for
  own actions
• Ability to build on past learning and recognise
  when it might be transferable (learning how to
  learn)
• Interest in applying knowledge (including values)
  in ways that maintain a balance between
  pragmatism and idealism
• Ability to coherently analyse and defend or adapt
  their practice
