ABSTRACT
Foundation degrees are concerned with the development and assessment of knowledge and abilities for vocational as well as academic learning. Developing the skill of reflective practice is a fundamental element of being a professional. We are going to look at three activities in this chapter: reflective writing; producing a professional development portfolio; and creating a personal development plan. In some cases you may be asked, as part of your studies, to produce a professional development portfolio that includes a reflective journal and personal development plan. In other cases you may be asked for only one of these.
