Reflection

This reflection is divided into two parts: the importance of critical reflection and an evaluation of self. The first part will be drawing upon through the appropriate literature, and there are four points to prove the importance of critical reflection in personal development. It will be expounded and distinguish Reflection in action and Reflection on action. Then, the theory of Single and double loop learning will be introduced. Moreover, the reflection also includes the difficulties and challenges. In the second part, it will be reflected my own personal style or capabilities through MBTI Personality Test, because of there are two different styles for me, and through the comparison it will be proof which one is the best one. After confirming the style of MBTI Personality Test, I will give some my own examples, keep the strengths and come up with some suggestion of the weaknesses to support the above theories.

Reflection is thinking for a purpose and analyzing how people learn, it is also including evaluating how effectively people learn. Most of all, reflection includes being critical, it is not in a negative or destructive way, but through strict questioning and lucubrating what and how people learn (The Open University, N.D.). And Wade (1997) said:
“Reflection provides a structured opportunity for individuals and groups to consider the ramifications of the service they provided and better understand their role in the larger community.”
In addition, he presented the reason why people reflect on service activities. It shows the importance of reflection and the relationship with critical reflection. Critical reflection is one particular aspect of the larger process of reflection. Woods (2012) assessed that reflection is important for all people like ethics, because it can give people the opportunity to recognize where they have deviated from the fact. On the other hand, Brookfield (1995a) assessed six points of the reasons. He thought critical reflection
