摘要:The purpose of this study was to expose Human Ecology final year students to the use, creation and implementation of a roadmap as a vehicle for the development of reflective practice skills. Data was obtained through the road maps created by them as well as their written reflection on the whole process. Results indicate that students initially found it difficult to understand the value or purpose of the reflective process. It was envisaged that the output would point to an understanding in students of how the skills of critical reflection can be developed and that they gain an understanding of the benefits of reflective skills.The overall findings suggest that students' engagement with the road mapping process helped them to develop their reflective skills, which in turn had an impact on their personal lives and which will hopefully assist in their future professional lives
