Title: | Reflective practice for the graduate | Contributor(s): | Usher, Kim (author)![]() |

Reflection has been described as a process of going back over something after it has occurred with the aim of making sense of the situation so that necessary changes can be identified. In other words, the purpose of reflection is that it leads to action that is better informed. This occurs via a process of learning through experience in a way that aids in the development of new insights about self and practice. Reflection is also closely linked to critical thinking. Whilst not identical, it is paramount that reflection has a critical intent as being a critical thinker involves questioning the world and challenging assumptions that are taken for granted. In this chapter we have chosen to use the word 'reflection' but our intent is to convey the link between cri6cal thinking and reflection at all times. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Transitions in Nursing: Preparing for Professional Practice, p. 289-304 | Publisher: | Elsevier Australia | Place of Publication: | Chatswood, Australia | ISBN: | 9780729540827 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 111099 Nursing not elsewhere classified | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 420599 Nursing not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 920210 Nursing | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 200307 Nursing | HERDC Category Description: | B3 Chapter in a Revision/New Edition of a Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://trove.nla.gov.au/version/172721522 | Editor: | Editor(s): Esther Chang, John Daly |
