This course is based in a student-centred approach, emphasising the need for ongoing reflection and critical thinking as the foundation of continuous, career long, professional development.
The course will also explore the impact that effective reflective practice can have on the development of accessible, inclusive and engaging learning environments for students.
The course explores a range of content including understanding the needs for reflection in educational settings, overviews of a range of models of reflection, how we record our reflections, gathering external feedback (peer and participant) for reflection, collaborative reflection, analysis of reflective practice, a brief introduction to reflective research models (including Autoethnography and Action Research).
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
