“…The authors either explain the development, use, and student opinions of diaries within a specific course (Lyte & Thompson, 1990;Gerrish, 1993), or use student entries in journals, in order to reveal the areas that the student reflects on (Brommeyer, 1994), as well as highlight the benefits of writing to the learner (Callister, 1993). In contrast Hunt (1993) describes anecdotally, how she used a reflective diary to identify a problem concerning inadequate preoperative information and how the diary helped her to improve preoperative information given to patients within her clinical area. Whilst descriptive research is probably the most appropriate way of exploring ways of developing reflective practitioners, most of the research reviewed fails to take us beyond descriptions of student opinion or feelings about writing diaries or journals.…”

A review of the literature showed that the most popular techniques used for promoting reflection in nursing seem to be diaries and journals. However, the amount of research which actually evaluates the effectiveness of such techniques is minimal. The research which has been done tends to rely on self reports rather than investigating either the outcome of reflection or the techniques by which reflective practice may be facilitated. The research methods used do not usually use designs or outcome measures which allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of such techniques. Where there has been an attempt to investigate the processes and outcomes of techniques to promote learning through reflection, the research itself seems to be rather inconclusive or offers very partial explanations as to why an approach was either successful or unsuccessful. It is also contended that the use of diaries and journals is unlikely to take students beyond the first stage of the reflective learning cycle and that more research is needed into how learning in the later stages of the cycle can be promoted.

While making early career decisions in which pursuing what one loves and earning a secure living are at odds with one another, when and why will the intrinsic considerations prevail over the extrinsic considerations? We posit that a key factor in resolving this dilemma in favor of the intrinsic side of the career is the sense of calling, a consuming, meaningful passion people experience toward the domain. We test the connection between early callings (in adolescence) and later career pursuit (in adulthood) and the mediating role of perceived and actual abilities (in young adulthood) in a career context in which the intrinsic and extrinsic sides of a career can clash: the path to become a professional musician. In an 11-year 5-wave longitudinal study of 450 amateur high school musicians progressing from adolescence to adulthood, we found that regardless of their actual musical ability, people with stronger early callings were likely to perceive their abilities more favorably, which led them to pursue music professionally. Our findings thus indicate an intriguing pattern in which the experience of stronger early callings led to greater perceived ability that was not reflected in greater actual ability. Perceived ability, rather than objective ability as assessed by awards won in music competitions, led to subsequent career pursuit. We discuss implications for theory and research on the nature and consequences of calling, as well as for career decision making, both in general and in challenging career contexts in particular.
