What is Reflective Practice in Teaching?
(1999) http://www.ncsu.edu/mctp/reflection/reflective_practice.html This website, which draws extensively on A. J. Reiman’s (1999). Guided Reflective Practice (North Carolina State University, Raleigh), offers a working definition of reflective practice in teaching. The author identifies four processes as major components of reflective practice: description, analysis, explanation and reflection. Research indicates that such processes enhance the understanding of teachers. This webpage is one part of a linked series of sections treating reflective practice in teaching. One linked page provides an overview, another deals briefly with the importance of guidance in reflection, while still another deals with the place of journals and portfolios within reflective practice.
