What is Reflective Practice?

What is Reflective Practice? by Joy Amulya

Main Points:
1. Reflection is about "examining [an] experience rather than just living it" so that we can learn from all that we experience.
2. Reflecting on experiences can be done in depth or not, frequently or span over a long period of time, carry many purposes, and in groups or individually. Reflection is not a structured process, but one that can be tailored for different people and experiences.
3. Reflection is powered by asking questions and through dialogue and stories.

Discussion Questions:
1.Should reflection be a formal event which is vehemently recorded or a routine personal process?
2. Is reflection only important with experiences that one goes through in life, or should it also take place in the classroom for students? Would reflection help students process new information better?
