" "The authors set out to produce a book that would "demystify
reflective practice" and they have succeeded The book is rich in
practical wisdom, concisely expressed, and will enable both
experienced teachers and new entrants to use reflective practice to
improve and develop teaching and learning in a complex and diverse
lifelong learning sector."
Dr David Holloway, University of Portsmouth, UK. "
" "This book speaks with academic authority and the experience
and understanding of practitioners. The authors draw teachers into
their world of everyday reflective practice that is much more than
a requirement from trainee teachers, but rather is at the heart of
all teachers' practice. The authors highlight its value for
improving teaching and learning and coping with ongoing change,
whilst recognising honestly the difficulties in making time to
reflect deeply and critically and the questions raised about the
worth of reflective practice in an increasingly regulated sector.
Rich examples bring the text to life, exemplify concepts and
demonstrate practical applications."
Mary Samuels, Oxford Brookes University, UK. "
" "This book has a heartening and optimistic message at its
centre: reflective practice can help us as teachers discover what
actually works to improve practice, not what should work or what
we've been told might work. It is written in a refreshingly
straightforward way that steers clear of educational jargon and
aims for clarity; it is an antidote to the over-theorizing of
Reflective Practice that it warns against."
Noelle Graal, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK. "
" "The authors of this clear and informative book have delved
into their extensive experience to produce a must have text for all
those who care about the state of teaching and learning in the
Lifelong Learning sector. By providing an in depth, detailed and
critical accounts of the key processes and products of reflective
practice their book must become a set text on initial teacher
training courses for the sector and an essential resource for both
tutors and managers."
Dr Graham Hitchcock, University Centre, Doncaster, UK. "
Reflective practice is an important skill for students learning
to teach in the lifelong learning sector. This book makes the case
for reflective practice in post-compulsory teaching and shows how
it can be used to support teachers in coping with the complexities
and contingencies of practice.
The book introduces a basic model of reflective practice and
then explores several further models relevant to teaching in the
lifelong learning sector, offering guidance on the application of
each model in practice.
Collaborative approaches to reflective practice are also
discussed, and the place of reflective practice in teachers
continuing professional development is carefully examined. Other
key features of the book include: Clear links with the professional
standards for teachers in the lifelong learning sector Discussion
of the challenges and issues when engaging in reflection on
practice Coverage of action research, often considered an extension
of reflective practice Illustrations drawn from the authors'
extensive experience in teaching and enabling learning "Reflective
Practice for Teaching in Lifelong Learning" has been written to
address the needs of student teachers across a whole range of
lifelong learning courses.
