ÖZET
 Amaç: Yansıtma, ebelik öğrencilerinin daha yetkin olarak mezun olabilmeleri için gerekli becerilerden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, yansıtmaya dayalı öğrenme deneyimi sonrasında öğrencilerin kazanımlarına ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı yaklaşım benimsenen ve tipik durum örneklemesi kullanılan bu çalışma Kütahya Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi ebelik bölümünde yürütüldü. 2018-2019 öğretim yılı bahar döneminde çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü 59 ebelik 4. sınıf öğrencisi çalışmaya katıldı. Araştırma verilerini, öğrencilerin klinik uygulama sırasında 'Gibbs'in Yansıtıcı Döngüsü' doğrultusunda yazdıkları yansıtma raporları oluşturdu. Veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile değerlendirildi. Araştırmada, Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies (COREQ) yönergeleri rehber olarak kullanıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yansıtma deneyimine ilişkin görüşleri incelendiğinde; 4 temanın öne çıktığı saptanmıştır. Bu temalar; deneyimlerden öğrenme, problem çözme ve olaylara farklı açılardan bakabilme, empati ve iletişim becerisi ve kendini tanımadır. Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonucunda klinik uygulama eğitiminde yansıtıcı düşünme yönteminin kullanılmasının; öğrencilerin kendini tanımasına, eleştirel düşünme becerilerinin artmasına, ayrıca öğrencilerin klinik ortamda yaşadıkları sorunları fark etmelerine ve bu sorunları nasıl çözümleyeceklerine yönelik deneyimlerini açıklamasına olumlu katkı sağlamıştır. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda, yansıtmanın ebelik öğretiminde daha yaygın kullanılması önerilmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: Reflection is recognized as one of the necessary skills for midwifery students to graduate more competently. The aim of this study was to determine the views of students on their attainments following the reflection-based learning experience. Material and Methods: This study, in which a descriptive qualitative approach was adopted and typical case sampling was used, was conducted in the midwifery department of Kütahya Health Sciences University in Turkey. A total of 59 midwifery students, from year 4, who volunteered, participated in the study con ducted in the spring term of the 2018-2019 academic year. The reflec tion reports, written by the students during the clinical practice in line with the 'Gibbs' Reflective Cycle', created the study data. Data were evaluated by using the content analysis method. In the research, the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies (COREQ) guidelines were used as a guide. Results: Four themes were identified in the analysis of students' reflection reports. These themes are the transformation of experience into knowledge, the abil ity to develop different ways of solving problems, acquiring empathy-communication skills and self-knowledge. Conclusion: Reflection in clinical practice has been determined to contribute positively to the stu dents' self-knowledge, to increase their critical thinking skills, to the students' awareness of the problems experienced in the clinical envi ronment, and to produce solutions for these problems. Reflection is rec ommended to be used in midwifery teaching.
