1. What has resonated with me the most in this course?
2. What are the key concepts within this subject that stood out tome?
3. How did these concepts make me feel and/or how did I react when I heard this?
4. Why did I feel or react this way?
5. Continue to ask yourself ‘why’ to unpack each concept in detail, from your personal, professional and the dominant cultural lens.
Part B
Using the concept map completed in Part A as a guide, write a 2000 word critical reflective essay, applying the following critical reflection framework:
1. Define and discuss a question that you would like to know more about that has come from your critical thinking in your concept map.
2. Reflect on how your own culture as well as your professional culture, influence your understanding of this question and how this shapes your perceptions of and interactions
with First Peoples.
3. Analyse the perspectives of others including dominant structures to explore the underlying causes and effects relating to your question.
4. Discuss what you have learnt from this critical reflective process and how this learning influences your perceptions of, and interactions with, Australia’s First Peoples in the
health care setting.
5. Discuss how your future practice may be transformed as part of this process.
