The Synthesised Model of Reflection: A vehicle for scaffolding and assessing the Employability Redefined Taxonomy. Presented at the Global Forum Series, April 2023.

Presentation from the  A Global Forum on the Role of Education in Supporting Students: Exploring Future Pathways - Forum 2: Experience and Practice Sharing Around Pedagogies and Working with Students on Wednesday 26th April 2023.

Abstract:

  

The Synthesised Model of Reflection is a new model for assessing reflective writing which is being piloted among Psychology students. The model allows for the Employability Redefined Taxonomy to be integrated, to scaffold students’ holistic learning and development, providing a clear guide of domains to reflect upon. Students can track their lifelong learning, as well as incorporate learning from lifewide experiences simultaneously. This longitudinal model, which synthesises multiple experiences into a single written reflection, is aimed to support students’ holistic development. Preliminary ideas from the Level 4 and Level 7 evaluations will be shared.
