Reflective rural practitioner (12 points)

Studies the theory and practice of reflecting on intrapersonal, interpersonal and professional issues at the individual, one-to-one, group, and organisational levels. It provides a broad overview of the theories which underpin modern reflective practices, and introduces basic skills required if successful reflecting is to occur.
Learning to reflect usually involves groups of people in face-to-face dialogue. To use distance education methods poses some special challenges. When you have completed this subject you should be able to demonstrate competence with reflection on practice; demonstrate competence with reflection in practice; demonstrate competence with reflection in your personal life; demonstrate competence with reflection in groups of which you are a member; outline a range of current theories as they relate to the practice of reflecting; outline the techniques and approaches which derive from each of the different theories; and have a practical awareness of low technology techniques which you have used to increase your ability to self critique.
