Responding to Reflecting on reflective practice by Lynda Finlay
This article outlines reflecting on ones own reflective needs and continues to shift change on reflective
practises that we make as a changing concept of change itself. "The term ‘reflective practice’ carries multiple meanings that range from the idea of professionals engaging in solitary introspection to that of engaging in critical dialogue with others" (Finlay 2008)
Why reflect?
We reflect in our own teaching practise to become fully aware of learning needs and to improve
the way we do things. "reflective practice is understood as the process of learning through and from experience towards gaining new insights of self and/or practice" (Boud et al 1985; Boyd)
Finlay (2008) points out that there a number of models that define reflective practices is society. Looking on it now it becomes clear that this could be a good thing as there may be people in different professions that could look favourably on a model that suits there needs. When we do planning in our weekly planning the notion of most school that I have worked at is to reflect on your week so you can learn from it and evaluate your goals for the next week. Finlay (2008) says that "reflective practice is both complex and situated and that it cannot work if applied mechanically and simplistically.
I can look in and understand that Finlay continues to outline that as an educationalist it is fair to say that many models of reflective practices offer reflection as a way of becoming life long learners, and continue to push your thinking on before action and after action takes place.
