Friday 27 March Studio (Week 4) The Four R’s

In todays studio, we put into place the four R’s (RRRR) reflective practice, previously mentioned in another blog post, which correlates to one of the set readings. It was interesting to notice the degree to which the method deconstructed a particular issue. The method encourages the person writing the reflection to succinctly identify an issue, note its relevance, relate it to tacit knowledge and analyse ones ability to handle the issue. Before breaking the issue down into vital components, which are then used to provide reason for the issue to have occurred and back it up by theory. I found this part interesting because it must be a technique used to convince the writer themselves of a reason for the issue to have occurred and whether that be the case or not, the writer is now in a better position to implement a procedure to handle the issue. This indicates the importance of the reflector’s mentality during this process. Also, the four R’s are designed to assist this thought process so that the person reflecting can identify fundamental influences toward an issue, one step at a time. I will use the four R’s method in future blog posts as a guideline to help me reflect upon any incidents within the studio or out of class tasks.
