NPR2067 AS1: Reflection Information & Guidance

Reflection Assignment Brief (1500 words)

The provision of constructive feedback is known to be central to the learning and development of student nurses and midwives. This should be an interactive process offering students insight into their performance so that they can improve in practice. 

Adamson et al. (2018) identified that obtaining feedback is a shared responsibility between student and supervisor but that students are often criticised for being too passive in seeking feedback and may lack skills as to how to utilise it. 

The AS1 assignment task is:

“Using Gibbs model reflect on how you obtained and utilised feedback from practice to enhance your professional development.”

 

General Information

The aim of this assignment is to reflect within the structure of Gibbs model (1988) on the importance of constructive feedback for your professional development; how you achieved feedback in practice, and how you have acted on this for professional and self-development. Within this reflection you should support your writing with the contemporary evidence base exploring the importance and value of constructive feedback.

If you have not been on placement in YR2: you will need to consider a previous placement and write the reflection retrospectively to meet the learning outcomes. Use the feedback you received to meet learning outcomes b, e and f. Consider how you will in the future organise yourself to obtain feedback to meet LO a.  Remember to use evidence to support your discussions.

Grading of the reflection assignment

The reflection is graded using the undergraduate grading criteria* against how well you achieve the module learning outcomes a,b,e,f.  You must meet all these learning outcomes to pass this assessment.

You have two opportunities at this assignment. If you do not pass at the first attempt (D-) you are able to re-submit. At a 2nd opportunity submission, a pass grade will be capped at a D-.
