‘An active persistent & careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the grounds that support it & the further conclusion to which it tends’ (Dewey, 1933)

Concrete experience
Asking how
Reflective observation
Plan action using general principles
Cowan (1998)
Active experimentation
Formation of abstract conceptions & generalisations
Analysing why 10

11. Timing of reflection Reflection on action, & in action (Schön, 1997)
Reflection for action (Cowan, 1998)
Tools to support planning, recording & evaluation
of learning are available in CSP’s ePortfolio &
CPD Series in Frontline

12. Recording my learning
Format depends on nature of learning opportunity & my personal preferences for recording information;
Record should provide enough information for me to show how a learning opportunity links to my current/future practice (issues around confidentiality/data protection);
Dated (when learning took place, when record created & when learning was/will be evaluated);
Easy to access/stored securely

13. Portfolio: presenting evidence of the impact of my learning

14. Qualities of a portfolio
a set of data (evidence & information) collated by an individual that provides evidence of their behaviours, knowledge, & skills
evidence can be developed from a range of learning experiences: formal ↔ informal
personal
flexible content/presentation–to reflect interests/requirements of the audience
Sample portfolios are available to read in the CPD webfolio
