ABSTRACT

During their education, nursing students have to develop competences for continuous learning and development during their career. An important skill for this is reflection (Biesma et al., 2008; Schön, 1991). Reflection implies a process of thinking about and interpreting situations, events, experiences and emotions, aimed at critically analysing decisions, actions and effects in order to learn from them (Hatton & Smith, 1995; Mann, Gordon, & MacLeod, 2009). Supporting the development of students’ reflection skills is new for most teachers and demands new competences.
