One should stop practice, think about it, analyze their
decision making and drawing a theory and relating it to what they do next in their design process. (CSP. 2016).
The reflective process of thinking includes:
Self-awareness- Identifying your reactions
Critical analysis- Questioning those reaction and thinking about it, posing a question and exploring the connection between your views and the literature
Synthesis- Integrating this knowledge into your learning
Evaluation- Exploring the importance for you as a professional (ACU, 2016)
Some tools for reflective practice include: reflective journals (blogs, diary), self-assessment, portfolios, group dialogue and mentoring (Flinders University, 2005).
In my own reflective practice during the creation of my digital design project, we have come across many issues that have required analyzation and problem solving in order to make good decisions. For example, when we were unsure whether to record points for the leaderboard using results from the quiz or the fun game, we conducted both 1st and 2nd hand research in order to come to the conclusion that student’s position on the leaderboard should be from the fun games in order to ensure that children who may struggle with the educational quiz will not be embarrassed by their results being shown publicly.
