O knihe

In the past twenty years, the importance of reflection has been recognized by all professions,
especially the education profession. In the field of education, terms and practices such as
reflective practice, action research, joumaling, collaborative observation, professional
development, peer observation, and professional portfolios have become organizing units of
discussion and practice. This book extends knowledge in the field, not just by providing prompts
and examples of "things to do," but also by presenting an organized and cohesive system
consisting of definitions, principles, and guidelines that can be used for all reflective practice
activities. This system blends ideas and concepts from phenomenology, the Constructivist
philosophy, experiential learning, critical reflection, theories on turning knowledge into action,
and transformative learning. Moreover, the book creates a logical system for reflective practice
that provides a foundation for a framework that organizes teacher transformation through
reflection. This system is anchored by the practical examples provided, thus making this book
practical for all those interested in improving student learning. The strength of this book is that it
is not a recipe-type publication; rather it is a cohesive system that creates a rationale for the system, presents the system, and provides
many examples. The intended audience includes practitioners, teacher educators, teacher candidates, and administrators.
