Guidelines For Writing Reflective Diary
1.Description A description of the class or incident, with relevant details. Remember to maintain confidentiality. Don't make judgments yet or try to draw conclusions; simply describe the events and the key players. Set the scene! It might be useful to ask yourself the following questions- ∙ What happened? ∙ When did it happen? ∙ Where were you? ∙ Who was involved? ∙ What were you doing? ∙ What role did you play? ∙ What roles did others play? ∙ What was the result?
| 4. Analysis ∙ What can you apply to this situation from your previous knowledge, studies or research? ∙ What recent evidence is in the literature surrounding this situation, if any? ∙ Which theories or bodies of knowledge are relevant to the situation – and in what ways? ∙ What broader issues arise from this event? ∙ What sense can you make of the situation? ∙ What was really going on? ∙ Were other people's experiences similar or different in important ways? ∙ What is the impact of different perspectives eg. personal / students /teachers/ colleagues’ perspectives?
|
2. Feelings Don't move on to analysing these yet, simply describe them. ∙ How were you feeling at the beginning? ∙ What were you thinking at the time? ∙ How did the event make you feel? ∙ What did the words or actions of others make you think? ∙ How did this make you feel? ∙ How did you feel about the final outcome? ∙ What is the most important emotion or feeling you have about the incident? ∙ Why is this the most important feeling?
| 5. Conclusion ∙ How could you have made the situation better? ∙ How could others have made the situation better? ∙ What could you have done differently? ∙ What have you learned from this event?
|
3. Evaluation ∙ What was good about the event? ∙ What was bad? ∙ What was easy? ∙ What was difficult? ∙ What went well? ∙ What did you do well? ∙ What did others do well? ∙ Did you expect a different outcome? If so, why? ∙ What went wrong, or not as expected? Why? ∙ How did you contribute?
