PIVOT Enhanced Reflection - an introduction

Description

Welcome to PIVOT. Within SwapBox you will find a suite of activities that have been designed specifically to help professional learners with the most important aspect of their studies – themselves and the people they work with. These reflexive techniques are derived from the pioneering work in Personal Construct Psychology (Kelly 1991; Fransella 2005). Finding the time to use them will help students to critically reflect upon, identify and explore their developing sense of professional identity through their individual values and personal learning aims. The self-contained activities have full explanatory instructions and there are also accompanying video clips of two people demonstrating their use. The exploratory dialogue between a student and their facilitator (tutor, mentor or assessor) is a key part of the enhanced reflection experience. The tools are designed to build upon each other and so will work best if used in order for the first time.

PIVOT - Enhanced Reflection

The Professional Identity and Values Organisation Tool (PIVOT) is designed to facilitate and enhance processes of critical reflection and self-directed learning. Our intention is to help students in professional practice become more aware of a developing sense of identity through exploration of their values and creation of their own learning aims. This project piloted the use of PIVOT with social work students, for evaluation and development. What is PIVOT all about? The tools have been developed from Personal Construct Psychology and wider constructivist perspectives of teaching and learning. Through a series of activities within structured interviews, learners are enabled to: - draw out their own personal observations and interpretations within their practice - progressively refine and develop these constructs to reflect and highlight their own core values - systematically score these values as learning aims - use these learning aims as a basis for an action plan to develop their own professional practice.
