Reflective Practice in Education and Training

Second Edition


May 2020 | 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.

Reflective practice is an essential skill for trainee teachers but quite challenging for anyone new to it. This book is very readable and comprehensive and a great introduction for students on ITE courses.

This book has very easy to follow examples to help the reader to improve reflective practice as well as easy to read explanations of theories surrounding reflection. It has helped me to advance my reflective abilities.

We have recommended this publication again for students on the Fd programmes, in Early Years and Educational Practice. The text is clear and develops a wider understanding of reflective practice in the setting and through critical thoughts on given subjects/events that students have to reflect upon.

Students consistently baulk at reflective journals. This book enabled them to think about and appreciate the importance of reflective practice. Feedback was very positive from across the group.

This publication presents information clearly for students to identify relevant areas in their studies and linking to current practice. I will be recommending that all students on the programme read this book.

Great book!

I found the following:-
Clear information, presented well and easy to read.
Good font and size used
Clear links made to the professional standards

Strengths
Especially liked the mnemonic SHARK and explanation, Batari box & explanation
Tasks were excellent throughout provoking thought in all subject areas
Examples used were good throughout

For improvement:-
I would have liked to see more information presented in the contents page, for example: which theories would be discussed in each section, I feel that this would help students to quickly select the theorist of choice.

I will be recommending this book!
