SEDA One-Day Event
Reflection in Learning and Professional Development Royal Institute of British Architects, London 16th October 2000
Reflection and reflective writing have increased in prominence as learning and assessment strategies, and as techniques for and evidence of professional development. But numerous questions arise in attempts to formalise the role of reflection in the curriculum or in a staff development strategy, including:
| Is reflection an activity or a capacity? | |
| Is it just this week’s jargon or a real process? | |
| How does reflection relate to learning? | |
| Is reflective writing the same as reflection? | |
| How should reflection and reflective writing be assessed? |
This one day event is designed to give participants:
| an overview of the theoretical basis of reflection | |
| directions to further reading | |
| a broad understanding of the uses reflection can be put to in teaching, self-evaluation, and staff development | |
| some specific suggestions to try out | |
| a sense of enthusiasm and interest in reflection | |
| an opportunity to participate in discussion. |
Sessions will be led by:
| Dr Jenny Moon, University of Exeter | |
| Professor John Cowan, Heriot-Watt University | |
| Melissa Highton, Napier University | |
| Professor Donnie MacLeod and Allan Cowieson, Northern College | |
| Rachel Redwood, University of Plymouth. |
