Answer 2 for DNP 801 Explain the process you are using to review and incorporate instructor feedback on assignments before the next submission

As mentioned, feedback is intended to help and improve. I rely heavily on instructor suggestions, feedback, and constructive criticism to review assignments before the next submission. As a reflective learner, I analyze, utilize critical thinking skills, and do further research based on feedback in order to improve. Reflective learning has multiple benefits such as a personal assessment of the concepts learned and how they were learned, growth and development in critical thinking, connecting new concepts with those already known, assists with learning from previous errors by identifying which path can be taken next time, and encourages you to continue utilizing a reflective practice (Reflective Learning, n.d.).

Reflective learning help students and professionals maintain educational competencies. A study was completed in South Africa on 121 nurse educators regarding the use and concept of reflective teaching. Although all educators reported reflective learning is needed, there was not a formal method to incorporate reflective learning activities. Based on the results, educators should receive formal training on reflective teaching as this learning approach promotes critical thinking, especially in the field of nursing (Naicker & Rensenburg 2018).

I have familiarized myself with the locations of feedback on the assignment gradebook. When I am unsure on how to make changes based on feedback or if I am uncertain, I always message or reach out to our professor via telephone in order to clarify the feedback. This assists with open-ended dialogue and gives me further insight on how I can make the assignment meet the requirements. This also gives me a bigger understanding of the DPI project process and puts me at ease during moments of anxiety.
