What is Reflective Practice?
Reflective Practice involves the process of continuous critical reflection to foster self-learning, and to improve subsequent practices. In Higher Education, it involves taking time to think and reflect on teaching and learning for evaluative purposes, and to improve future teaching. Comprised of two components, reflection–in-action and reflection-on action, reflective practices consists of activities that are deliberate and designed to stimulate a cyclic process of teaching, reflection and revised teaching.

PARTICIPANT REFLECTIONS

In what ways do you feel the session has changed your way of thinking and/or your approach to teaching? "I haven't always clearly articulated my objectives, but relied on my intuition and abstract notions of goals. I think articulating the goals clearly will help make the design more discernible."
"I have never really thought about the many stakeholders that I should be prepared to communicate with. This made me think about how I evaluate my teaching and how I communicate this to my chair, dean and teaching faculty, I think I need to be more purposeful in this area. I have some teaching that I need to revisit my objectives and really examine my assessments for these, to ensure that I am assessing an actual objective, in the best way possible. How am I assessing understanding?
"The exercise where we came up with all of the stakeholders for our teaching, and did so in a deliberate way, was really eye-opening for me. Being more mindful of the range of stakeholders is likely to change my way of thinking about my teaching, including how I communicate about it. In addition, I think I have a broader sense of assessment now and what assessing student learning, both informally and formally, might look like." |
