Consider what was good about the experience and what was bad about the experience or didn’t go so well.) Stage four: Analysis – (Break the event down into its component parts, so they can be explored separately; what went well; what did you do well; what did others do well; what went wrong or did not turn out as it should have done; in what way did you or others contribute to this.) Stage five: Conclusion – (You now have a lot of information on which to base your judgment. It is here that you are likely to develop insight into your own and other people’s behaviour in terms of how they contributed to the outcome of the event. Remember the purpose of reflection is to learn from an experience. During this stage you should ask yourself what you could have done differently.)
