Philosophers have warned of the perils of a life spent without reflection, but what constitutes reflective inquiry-and why it's necessary in our lives-can be an elusive concept. Synthesizing ideas from minds as diverse as John Dewey and Paulo Freire, theHandbook of Reflection and Reflective Inquiry presents reflective thought in its most vital aspects, not as a fanciful or nostalgic exercise, but as a powerful means of seeing familiar events anew, encouraging critical thinking and crucial insight, teaching and learning. In its opening pages, two seasoned educators, Maxine Green and Lee Shulman, discuss reflective inquiry as a form of active attention (Thoreau's "wide-awakeness"), an act of consciousness, and a process by which people can understand themselves, their work (particularly in the form of life projects), and others. Building on this foundation, the Handbook of Reflection and Reflective Inquiry analyzes through the work of 40 internationally oriented authors:
- Definitional issues concerning reflection, what it is and is not
- Worldwide social and moral conditions contributing to the growing interest in reflective inquiry in professional education
- Reflection as promoted across professional educational domains, including K-12 education, teacher education, occupational therapy, and the law, among others
- Methods of facilitating and scaffolding reflective engagement
- Current pedagogical and research practices in reflection
- Approaches to assessing reflective inquiry
Educators across the professions as well as adult educators, counselors and psychologists, and curriculum developers concerned with adult learning will find the Handbook of Reflection and Reflective Inquiry an invaluable teaching tool for challenging times. |
