Beyond Reflective Practice : New Approaches to Professional Lifelong Learning, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Reflective practice has moved from the margins to the mainstream of professional education.

However, in this process, its radical potential has been subsumed by individualistic, rather than situated, understandings of practice.

Presenting critical perspectives that challenge the current paradigm, this book aims to move beyond reflective practice.

It proposes new conceptualisations and offers fresh approaches relevant across professions.

Contributors include both academics and practitioners concerned with the training and development of professionals.

Definitions of reflection (which are often implicit) often focus on the individual's internal thought processes and responsibility for their actions.

The individual - what they did/thought/felt – is emphasised with little recognition of context, power dynamics or ideological challenge.

This book presents the work of practitioners, educators, academics and researchers who see this as problematic and are moving towards a more critical approach to reflective practice.

With an overview from the editors and fourteen chapters considering new conceptualisations, professional perspectives and new practices, Beyond Reflective Practice examines what new forms of professional reflective practice are emerging.

It examines in particular the relationships between reflective practitioners and those upon whom they practise.

It looks at the ways in which the world of professional work has changed and the ways in which professional practice needs to change to meet the needs of this new world.

It will be relevant for those concerned with initial and ongoing professional learning, both in work and in educational contexts.
