Make sure it hangs together
Make sure that your conclusions regarding your development/learning directly relate to the experiences you describe.
If you use the University’s eportfolio PebblePad, you may find the ‘Thought’ tool useful (Create > Thought > Reflective cycle). This gives you space to record your:
- experience - what was involved in your experience;
- reaction - what you did and felt in this experience;
- analysis - what you can learn from this; and
- planning - what you will do differently as a result in the future.
These map easily onto the CARL framework (experience=context; reaction=action; analysis and planning=result and learning).
