Answer to Question #223610 in English for Gaskin

Question

A teacher’s ability to reflect upon his or her practice to improve student learning is a key skill that is learned over time and not easily mastered. How would (or do) you include the principles or methods of Critical Reflection into your practice or studies? Relate an incident in which you have used a systematic reflection process and what you learned from it. This incident could be an occurrence in a teaching and learning environment or another area (with a spouse or sibling, at a place of employment, etc.).

Answer 1

A teacher can include metacognition, self-awareness, and considering multiple viewpoints features that result in reflective action. Reflective teachers are more likely to develop reflective learners. If teachers practice reflection they can more effectively encourage learners to reflect on, analyze, evaluate and improve their own learning. These are key skills in developing them to become independent learners. Personally, I have been involved in a reflective process in what happens in the management of the university until I was one of the student leaders and I had to go through it. Was worried about how they interrelate and how do those divisions link in reaching University's delivery agenda.
