Assessing Reflective Practice

Assessing Reflective Practice

• Introduction
• The focus of this module is on the reflective
  assessment of the development of the students own
  personal and professional skills when working
  with children/pupils and families. This is
  achieved by evaluating their own learning at
  University and in the workplace.
• As stated by Paige-Smith and Craft (2008,p.1) 'by
  engaging in reflective practice, we effectively
  become researchers of our working world'.
•  
• One teacher says 'Critical teaching is about not
  just reflecting on practice, but through that,
  uncovering what it reveals about what we think
  and believe and an opportunity to find out
  exactly who we are doing things for and why, and
  to change and adapt if you need.'
  (McNaughton,2005,p.13)
