Download or read book Reflection in Learning and Professional Development written by Jenny A. Moon and published by Kogan Page Limited. This book was released on 1999 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to take an overview of reflection, both in terms of the literature, the common meaning of reflection and, in particular, in terms of its value in practical ways of improving learning & professional practice. The existence of an enormous gap in the literature between an identification of the nature of reflection & the processes of learning means that the many applications of reflection in educational & professional situations are guided by assumption or guesswork. The book begins by addressing this issue. In doing so, the authors do not attempt to pull the ideas in the literature into one precise definition. They establish boundaries that can be placed around the term to provide it with greater coherency. The book concludes with the practical use of reflection to improve learning & practice. The author considers the conditions of the learning environment which encourage reflection & presents two case studies in professional development & practice where deliberate & carefully designed exercise of reflection contributed to the greater impact of short courses & to effective decision making. The book includes practical activities & exercises which encourage learners to reflect on their learning or practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a detailed examination of reflective practice in teacher education. In the current educational context, where reflective practice has been mandated in professional standards for teachers in many countries, it analyses research-based evidence for the power of reflective practice to shape better educational outcomes. The book presents multiple theoretical and practical views of this often taken-for-granted practice, so that readers are challenged to consider how factors such as gender and race shape understandings of reflective practice. Documenting approaches that enhance learning, the contributions discuss reflective practice across the globe, with a focus on pre-service, in-service and university teachers. At a time when there is pressure to measure teachers’ work through standardised tests, the book highlights the professional thinking that is integral to teaching and demonstrates ways it can be encouraged in beginning teachers. Aimed at the international community of teacher educators in schools and universities, it also includes a critical examination of methodological issues in analysing and evaluating reflective practice and showcases the kind of reflective practice that empowers teachers and pre-service teachers to make a difference to students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper from the year 2015 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, language: English, abstract: Education is changing worldwide. The literature suggests that teachers need reflective professional development (PD) to effectively teach to the new standards and to demonstrate change to their current instructional practices. This mixed-method multiple-case study investigated the impact of a reflective professional development (PD) in early schoolteachers' instructional practices. Teachers were asked to maintain Reflective Portfolios for a period of one month, in which they were supposed to discuss one incident daily, under the light of Gibbs reflective cycle. REPORT rubric based on Danielsons framework of teaching was used to assess the portfolios. The teachers were also analyzed via semi structured interviews using qualitative coding scheme. Case descriptions were written and all the collected data was used to explain the levels of reflection in teachers' instructional practices.
Download or read book What Makes Teachers Reflect to Improve Their Practice written by Susanne Croasdaile and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the value of teacher research to both the teachers and to the education community has been extensively reported in recent literature, it is only practiced by small pockets of teachers across the country. Viewing the problem through a social organizational lens suggests that the lack of widespread involvement in teacher research may be due in part to the social interactions and organizational structures in place in schools. An online survey was used to collect data from 84 preK-12 educators who had conducted teacher research and 15 who had not regarding a range of social organizational factors in their schools, including school culture and the time and materials available for research activities. Responses indicate that significant changes in administrative leadership and formal as well as informal support systems must be in place to support the practice of teacher research. A positive school culture alone is not enough impetus to engage in the classroom inquiry process; there must also be explicit support for the process voiced by instructional leaders. Information about the teacher research process and support for those who are interested in beginning and continuing this reflective practice must also be available. The challenge to school leaders is to embrace the concept of formalized reflective practice and embed the concept into the current professional development models in their schools; with these supports in place, teacher research may become a higher-profile method of reflective practice and school improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicated to you, The reader who strive to improve. If You take nothing more than these few words I will be happy The capacity to look back on one's own actions in order to participate in an ongoing process of education and growth is the essence of reflective practice Reflective practice is a continuous learning process in which people recall their own actions as a source of personal and professional development. Reflective practice asserts that experience does not always lead to learning, but that it is the reflection on one's experiences that leads to learning and personal growth. This can be used as a key to successful learning and development by students and educators. Reflective practice can help professionals develop the critical thinking and decision-making skills required for continuous learning and quality improvement. Reflective practice allows students to consider how their work meets established criteria, evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts, and plan for future improvement. We can use reflective practice methods to look at their own actions and feelings, as well as the results and experiences of those actions, in order to improve our professional style and educational practice. We sincerely hope that what you have to read has a lot to offer. In the first chapter, you will be presented with an introduction to reflection with regard to the benefits that affect professional practice. It looks into important topics like the sharing of practice-based knowledge, giving people more power, influencing and making changes, and the importance of reflective thinking in relation to education, experience, and professional practice. You will gain insight into what styles of reflection work best for you by reading the chapter on reflective methods. The idea of reflective writing as a strategy for in-depth, self-directed learning is presented and provides some illuminating and encouraging advice as well as an introduction to the practice of reflective writing. It is a guide to getting started with reflection. It draws on information from earlier chapters of the book and provides additional advice, cautions, helpful frameworks, and new examples to assist you in starting out on your journey with reflection. A practitioner can find a wealth of advice and suggestions in the chapter that focuses on group reflection. This book was finished when the small chapter that focuses on clinical supervision was added to it. The chapter draws on the author's experiences in leading multi-professional teams, discusses how inter and intra professional supervision is supportive to best practice, and examines the issues surrounding supervision for supervisors. To put it simply, we want to pique your interest in self-reflection. We want to do this in a way that stimulates your mind to consider the problems at hand and compels you to examine the perspective through which you see the world.
