17. Organizes thoughts by relating and
explaining concepts which are closely
connected
Uses “experiences” to provide answers
Rationalization of undertaken actions
Evidence
Structures performance
Predictor of further thoughts
Lays foundation for standardization. for
example: assessments
(Turpin and Iwama 2010)
18. Can change conventional beliefs
Provides the enriched data that can be
analysed
Gives room for reflection
First hand valuable information
(Turpin and Iwama 2010)
21. Using the right model of practice for the right
client
Viewing the client as a person with a life in an
environment
22. Was very time consuming
Involved a lot of reading and synthesizing
Critiquing literature
Reasoning and justification
Application of knowledge read and acquired
Reflection
23. I loved the whole experience
I felt that there is a connection between why
we do some particular things in practice and
its rightful justification
I could analyse, critique and reason things
before accepting them or simply doing them
Made me very confident in front of members
of a multi – disciplinary team
I could use the theoretical knowledge
anywhere and everywhere
24. Was that information necessary?
How will that help you and me to look at.....?
Is this approach of viewing clients as holistic
human beings with feelings important?
Is scrutinizing their context of any relevance?
Are family opinions useful?
Will all this information help you aid the
person in a better way?
