Reflective writing?“Reflective writing is writing which involves '… consideration of the larger context, the meaning, and the implications of an experience or action' (Branch & Paranjape, 2002, p. 1185). In medical and health science courses you are required to produce reflective writing in order to learn from educational and practical experiences, and to develop the habit of critical reflection as a future health professional.”(http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/writing/medicine/reflective/1.xml)
Some of the writing which you produce as part of your journal might be reflective, and some might be purely factual.
