I have just started writing my journal, reflecting on last week when I was working as a sports coach for 'Sports Academies Ltd'. I was mainly working with children aged 3-6 years so there was a great deal of reflection-in-action going, on to cater to their needs and keep them focused and entertained!
After reading Reader 2 and browsing some of the websites suggested I found this : http://www.infed.org/research/keeping_a_journal.htm really heplful.
While I find is extremely easy to talk to people for hours about my day; and probably orally do a lot of reflective practice without realising; when I started trying to write my journal, I found it quite hard to know what to write about. On the above website, Ron Klug (2002: 54), wrote a list of questions to answer in your journal. I used these questions, along with a 'Description, Analysis/Reflection and Evaluation' format, as used by a number of you I gather, to help me organise my thoughts and reflections.
Happy journal writing everyone : )
