Reflective Journal
During placement, students are to keep a journal recording their weekly experiences. The purpose is to provide the student with an opportunity for self-reflection and synthesis of the practicum. Some weeks will include specific ideas to reflect on, on other weeks students will be free to reflect on their internship experiences for the week. Journal reflections for weeks without specific instructions should include topics such as:
1. Description of activities performed during placement, noting any deviations from the field learning agreement.
2. How well did the field experience integrate what the student learned in their formal HPHS course work?
3. What the student gained from the experience, identifying problems if they occurred.
4. Extent to which the student’s educational objectives were achieved. These objectives are identified in the Field Site Agreement.
5. Extent to which overall field experience learning objectives identified above were achieved
