Reflective writing: a management skill. AbstractPurpose: This study analyses students' reflective writing in terms of identifiable outcomes and explores students' thoughts on reflection and reflective writing as a process.Methodology: A mixed methods approach was taken with a qualitative analysis of 116 written reflections from MA Librarianship studying management over an eight month period. A quantitative statistical analysis assessed the relationships between reflective writing and a number of possible outcomes identified from the literature.Findings: A significant relationship was found between 7 of 8 outcomes tested; (1) academic learning, (2) the need for self development, (3) actual self development, (4) critical review, (5) awareness of ones' own mental functions, (6) decision making and (7) empowerment and emancipation. There was some evidence of a relationship between non-academic learning and reflective writing, but it was not significant. A number of themes emerged from the reflective writings regarding reflection itself, with students seeing reflection as a positive activity, with benefits for the individual, groups and in the workplace, and identifying reflection as a skill that can be practiced and developed.Research limitations: The reflection took place as an academic exercise and as such that is likely to have impacted on the nature of reflective content.Practical implications: Reflection and reflective writing as a management skill has potential benefits for personal and professional development and improving work based practice.Originality: This study differs from the previous literature in presenting statistical evidence to confirm the relationships between reflective writing and a range of potential outcomes.

“…Esta dimensión del desarrollo profesional representa un eje transversal de la formación inicial docente, erigiéndose como uno de los pilares del perfil del profesor que las instituciones formadoras declaran construir. En este acto, se asume al profesor como un profesional reflexivo, que ha de ser preparado para esta práctica como fuente de aprendizaje profesional permanente (CORNEJO, 2003;GUERRA, 2009;KAASILA;LAURIALA, 2012;RUSSELL, 2005;ZEICHNER, 1993).…”

“…Developing reflection skills can be complex and problematic (Maloney & Campbell-Evans, 2002), an acquired skill requiring scaffolding by experienced teachers (Hume, 2007;Harford & MacRuaire, 2008). It is clear that explicit instruction is needed to promote high levels of reflection (Seban, 2009), for example, through workshops and conferencing (Hume, 2009a;Russell, 2005). This is best achieved when an appropriate framework is provided for the writer (Cattley, 2005;Hume, 2009a;Seban, 2009), but it also varies according to prior experiences and confidence.…”
