ABSTRACT

这一章reviews the term critically reflective practice and includes a discussion of the term reflexivity. It explores some key elements of the work of Johns and return to some of Brookfield's work, both of which help us to examine how can reflect at a deeper level in an ongoing way. The chapter concludes with an exploration of the area of managing stress, mindfulness and Covey's useful concept of 'sharpening the saw'. Johns sees reflection as an action-oriented, day-to-day reality and certainly far removed from any kind of 'navel gazing'. In addition, reflection cannot be neutral but is 'a political and cultural movement towards creating a better, more caring and humane world'. Brookfield's work has become widely recognised for its insights into critically reflective practice. In his book Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher he argues that there are four lenses through which people can reflect on practice critically.
