Improving Teaching and Learning Through Reflection

Zusatztext

This book takes the stance that purposeful reflection contributes to success in teaching and learning. It is by thinking about and questioning how and why we do what we do that reflective practice, together with deferred or ruminative reflection is possible. The process of reflection requires training and practice. Hence, this easy-to-digest book presents a number of practical, tried-and-tested strategies to help you. This book presents a structured method for examining your teaching and learning practices, with a view to personal improvement. After reading this book you would no longer view reflection as another unnecessary obligation or burden, but as a useful practice that occurs simultaneously with your other parts of teaching and learning. Quotations by well known persons in the public domain serve to anchor your thoughts in preparation for the contents of the corresponding section. Shareware graphics interspaced in the text not only break possible monotony but serves to engage and stimulate your thought and in many instances bring you comic relief.
