Students are required to submit reflective journal entries at specific points throughout the course. These reflective narratives help students identify important learning events that happen throughout the course and the practicum.
Write a reflective journal (250-500 words) to outline how your experience at your practicum site related to the following reflective questions:
- Reflect on your personal and professional values and your conscious and unconscious biases as they relate to your practicum site. Explain what steps you have taken, or will need to take, to become more aware of how these values and biases influence your interactions. How will values and biases impact your practice?
- Based on your own implicit biases, discuss the relationship that one’s culture and environment have on these biases. How has the environment you live and work in shaped your own implicit biases? Is the environment of your practicum site impacting your biases?
- How can self-reflection be used to help us exhibit ethical comportment and moral courage in decision making in our practice?
