First Published in 1996. Teaching approaches for pupils with
learning difficulties have often emphasized the presentation and
repetition of easily manageable tasks rather than exploration,
learning through mistakes and reflection. However, there is
encouraging evidence that such pupils may be helped to develop
effective learning approaches with marked improvements in their
academic performance and self-concept. The importance of the
teacher's role in facilitating pupils' reflective activity cannot
be overstated. This book locates reflective experiences within
classroom interaction and discusses a variety of ways in which
teachers can foster reflection. These include their classroom talk,
challenging activities, and the creation of an ethos where
expectations are high and pupils' thinking and self-awareness are
shown to be valued. Most, but not all, of the classroom research
reported here was conducted in special schools for pupils with
moderate learning difficulties, but the findings have implications
for teachers of a wide range of pupils, in both aEURO~special' and
aEURO~ordinary' schools. The hope is that they will be stimulated
to incorporate some of the ideas in this book into their own
practice.
