PART 2
This assignment provides a critical self-analysis of my approach to reflective practice and exploration of continuing personal and professional practice.
To research this assignment I have had to undertake a profound and honest dissection and evaluation of my own working practice. For research I partook in discussions with my peers, attended lecturers on CPPD, and explored the Internet and relevant books. This includes examining theories of reflective practice and how they relate to my own reflective practice and development. To clarify what I needed to examine I started by finding definitions of the key phrases. More in-depth analysis of the definitions and the meanings attached by others are developed throughout the assignment.
Reflective Practice- “a set of abilities and skills, to indicate the taking of a critical stance, an orientation to problem solving or state of mind.” (Moon 1999 cited on www.ukle.ac.uk 2012)
Continual Personal and Professional Development “maintaining, improving and broadening relevant knowledge and skills in your subject specialism and your teaching and training, so that it has a positive impact on practice and the learner development.”
(www.ifl.ac.uk 2012)
Whilst preparing this assignment my Primary research was collated by using both personal observation and informal discustions with fellow peer group members, I conducted my Secondary research by colleting existing data gathered from both my Primary research as well as using the internet in order to access reviews, government statements and information as well as theories and principles used and developed by educational experts, I have also used the local library to access reference material in the form of books and the e-library and as an additional reference method. Once evaluating the collected data I then developed an Action Plan in order to achieve my desired goals.
The Common Sense Theory Philosopher and educationalist John Dewey pioneered the concept of reflective
