Building Deeper Connections to Concepts
Reflective practice, which is highly regarded in education and other professional fields, centers on describing, analyzing, and evaluating our thoughts, assumptions, beliefs, theory base, and actions. It is thinking about a learning task after you have done it, considering how it applies to the content, and contextualizing it in reality. For educators, the benefits of reflective practice are improvement of teaching practice, learning and greater effectiveness as a teacher, and improved problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
