Reflective Practice in Education and Training

Second Edition


January 2013 | 120 pages | Learning Matters
This is a practical guide to reflective practice for teachers and trainee teachers in the FE and skills sector. Reflective practice is a key element of teaching and this comprehensive and accessible guide introduces and explains this area of practice for trainee and new teachers. It asks 'what is reflective practice?' and includes an exclamation of the processes of reflection and tips on reflective writing.

Many trainees and new teachers need support in reflective practice. Written for all those working towards QTLS, this text gives practical guidance on how to become a reflective practitioner and examines how this relates directly to teaching in the FE and skills sector, and how reflection can benefit teaching. This second edition includes new chapters on 'reflective teaching and learning' and 'reflection-re-action', a new Theory Focus feature.

This text gives many examples and exercises of ways in which to use reflective practice in training - with suggestions of 'what to do next'. It is a self-study text, rather than one to be used in classrooms, although particular exercises could be set as homework, for discussion in the classroom.

This book is good with new teachers and helping those on how to reflect

This book is absolutely essential for those covering the topic of CPPD, and particularly reflective practice. The authors offer a critical perspective of the various models of reflection (i.e. Schon, etc), and this provides tutors (and student teachers) with a detailed analysis of which models are most appropriate for different reflective situations.

This book is well written, perfectly structured, and quick to read; whilst maintaining a detailed approach to exploring education and training.
