“…The incident to be reflected upon could be described and what the participant felt and learnt from the incident could be recorded. A model used by Chapman, et al (2009) could be useful for beginners to develop their reflective skills. 24 Publishing an article was perceived as least beneficial by the radiographers.…”

“…A model used by Chapman, et al (2009) could be useful for beginners to develop their reflective skills. 24 Publishing an article was perceived as least beneficial by the radiographers. A study performed by Scutter in 2002 found that while many Australian undergraduate medical radiation scientists were confident in their research abilities, many felt they would not be involved in research after they graduated.…”

Purpose: The Australian Institute of Radiography's (AIR) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme provides activities for radiographers, radiation therapists and sonographers. This article aims to investigate the perceptions of radiographers in New South Wales (NSW) of the current AIR CPD programme. Methods: 400 questionnaires were distributed within NSW. The questionnaire was designed to investigate the perceptions of radiographers concerning CPD using five themes: motivation for CPD participation; appropriateness of activities; constraints experienced; effectiveness of programme; and mandatory CPD. Results: One hundred and eight‐eight questionnaires (47%) were returned. A total of 68% (n = 127) of the participants were participating in CPD activities. The participants were most motivated by gaining knowledge through CPD. A total of 80% (n = 151) of the participants considered the activities listed in the Credit Recognition Framework to be adequate. The main constraint experienced by the radiographers in the rural setting was the lack of access to CPD activities, while in the metropolitan area, it was lack of time. A total of 59% (n = 111) of the participants commented that the current AIR CPD programme is an effective programme and 66% (n = 125) of the participants stated that CPD should be voluntary for all radiographers. Conclusion: Overall, radiographers identified the strengths and weaknesses of the AIR CPD programme. They were motivated to engage in CPD. This study also highlighted the constraints experienced, which need to be addressed to encourage more participation in the CPD programme.

“…A conscious or unconscious process (Chapman, Dempsey and Warren-Forward, 2009), it is a way of learning from experiences by creating fresh knowledge for future use (Watson, 2010). Reflection creates a distance between the self and the action taken, in order to view the self with greater clarity (Bengtsson, 1995).…”

“…Reflection involves the questioning of beliefs and attitudes (Chapman, Dempsey and Warren-Forward, 2009). Beliefs and assumptions determine how people interpret different situations and the examination of these can lead to consideration of alternative interpretations and responses (Larrivee, 2000).…”

“…Professionals can use reflection to: assess their own practice and competence (Bengtson, 1995); demonstrate their participation in CPD (Watson, 2010); link theory with practice (Ruth-Sahd, 2003); promote learning and make better decisions (Rigano and Edwards, 1998); explore their values (Gardner, 2009); keep up to date with changing technology (Chapman, Dempsey and Warren-Forward, 2009); and improve individual and group performance (Richards, Mascarenhas and Collins, 2009). …”

This study explores the use of reflection by library and information staff to support practice and continuing development. A questionnaire was sent to library and information mailing lists. 424 responses were received, though the response rate varied for each question. 92%, of 423 respondents identified themselves as reflective practitioners, and 52%, of 363 respondents engaged in reflective writing. A number of benefits and barriers were identified. It is concluded that reflective practice and reflective writing are valuable tools for library and information staff, particularly for professional development. Employers and professional bodies have a role in facilitating reflective practice.

Learning from work is an important aspect of student and professional life when working within the health profession. Personal journals are one way that health professionals are able to document their experiences.1 These journals also hold a wealth of information about the student experience on placement.2 To analyse the content of journals a qualitative research analytical method is required.There are many different methodological underpinnings or approaches within qualitative research and it is important that the researchers consider their own world view and the context of the research and the data to be evaluated when selecting a qualitative methodology to utilise. This paper discusses an overview of the process of choosing a qualitative framework for the analysis of the descriptions contained within student personal journals. The paper describes the development and validity checking of a coding or sourcebook for qualitative descriptive analysis of student personal journals.
