Assignment Two Part B Critical Reflection

Students will critically reflect on their performance in Part A of this assessment. In order to do this, students will review their videos, reflect on their own performance, and obtain feedback from their role play partners. Written reflections should address the following elements of their performance:

1. Critical reflection on communication & interpersonal skills – listening, micro-skills, SOLER, attending, paraphrasing, questioning, observation, establishing rapport, engagement
2. Critical Reflection on relevant ethics, theory & practice standards - approx. 250 words; adherence to AASW ethical codes & practice standards and application of key theories
3. Reflection on areas for improvement – key areas for development identified and feedback from ‘observer’ discussed

Students may use this as a template for their reflections or may opt to use their own structure.
Either is permissible, providing all elements are addressed in adequate detail. Students are encouraged to provide a rationale for their overall approach, including application of skills theory, and ethical principles.
