# Reflection Template See [[Reflection]] ## 1. Describe the situation > Describe the situation, the stimulant for reflection. Try to pick “high value” experiences. This is: • an event or outcome(s) • an issue, or set of theoretical concerns. ## 2. What was good/ bad about the situation? > The aim is to highlight two things in order to articulate your 'theories of action' that I used in the situation: > - **Value judgments**. Reflects presumptions you have about the _goals_ of the situation- *why* you believe those things. This exposes your presumptions about what the goals of the situation were about. > - **Causality** This highlights what the goals were and what the theory was about how the goal was to be achieved. ## 3. Evaluate > Put our assumptions regarding our 'theory of action' to the test. Ask myself: *How accurate is my mental model to reality?*. Theories of Action describe: • our presumptions about goals, • the presumptions about the extent to which outcomes satisfied these goals, and • our presumptions about what acts (our and other people) caused those outcomes ## 4. Conclude > Would I have acted any differently? What would I do differently? Where was my 'theory of action' right, and where could it improve?
