On the first day of one of my placements we did a learning style questionnaire. I was somehwere between a theorist and a reflector. One thing that the questionnaire mentioned was that theorists/reflectors require ++preparation prior to doing something. I really thought about this and agreed that this was soemthing that would benefit me. From writing notes to planning out a treatment session, when i have a plan i seem to perform alot better with greater confidence and efficiency.
I applied this to my practical sessions durin this placement by making sure i had thought about a plan before attempting notes or treatments sessions. It worked well and my supervisor noted that my confidence was improved.
Later in my prac (when motivation stated to reduce) i wasnt preparing for my treatment sessions. I was just doing things on the spot and funnily enough my supervisor picked up on this and told me that i was not as efficient or confident as i had been previously.
I have learnt fromthis situation that my learning style is most definitely theorist/reflector and that preparation is essential for me to perform well.

I also find my confidence and treatment sessions run smoother with a plan but it would be hard though to get through all the pts you need to see if you have to keep making plans before treating pts and writing notes. I suppose once we gain more experience the treatment plans will come more naturally and less preparation will be required
