Summary

"This research was designed as a phenomenological study to explore the experiences of municipal police recruits at the British Columbia Police Academy by looking for qualitative data on how prepared police recruits feel when interacting with mental health consumers during the academy’s Block 2 field training. The data analysis followed the mechanics of learning through reflective journaling as the analysis examined the data for patterns and themes related to Atkins and Murphy’s (1993), Scanlan and Chernomas’ (1997), and Thorpe’s (2004) three stages of reflective learning. This research also followed an inductive approach in determining whether or not the recruits felt that these reflective assessments aided them by encouraging self-guided reflective learning." -- Page 2.
