1) How does it make you feel?
At the moment you are recording your reflection, ask yourself how the event, action or behavior made you feel:
- Reactive: Did you react without thinking, did you say or behave on instinct. It is mainly activated when we are exposed to decisions that we can make personal.
- Emotions: You generated an emotion that had a physiological effect almost immediately or for a very short period and it is possible that it is maintained in the long term through empathy.
- They are usually accompanied by physical changes such as: sweating, tachycardia or dizziness.
- Feelings: These are sensations that you can describe and/or make recognize at the moment of perceiving and feeling it. Generally they are more lasting and are influenced by thoughts, reflections, experiences, personal perspective, it is the way we interpret our emotions.
2) Learning process
- Step 1: Thinking assumptions - The first step of the reflection process is to think and identify what might trigger the reflection.
- Step 2: Reflecting - The second step of the process is to have the ability to visualize different points of view, taking them into account and discarding those that do not apply.
- Step 3: Critical Reflection - The third step of the process is associated with understanding and accepting what happened, your actions and previous reflective processes to create a non-judgmental stance, opinion or judgment.
- In Conclusions - Last step of the process that allows concluding reflections and ideas from others, of learning or knowledge to close an iteration of the reflection.
3) Impact:
It allows to make tangible the reflection from learning or knowledge through practice in the personal or professional field.
No impact: It generated a reflection but so far it has not generated a reactive, emotional or sensation impact.
- Conscious reflection: Occurs when you have drawn conclusions from the facts and have made the learning or knowledge conscious in order to start again.
