Reflections on the Reflective Practitioner: Investigating Our Own Practices
Reflections on the Reflective Practitioner: Investigating Our Own Practices

Summary/Abstract: This paper is concerned with ways that we, as teachers, can develop our own practice through a continual process of reflection and investigation as part of our day to day teaching activity. It suggests that professional development, especially that aspect in which we are investigating our own teaching and learning, wrestles with the same, or very similar epistemological and ontological issues as research in this area. I will begin with a discussion of the theoretical, methodological issues related to classroom research, and I will then go on to examine the process of reflective practice. On the basis of this, I suggest a possible framework for our personal professional development through examining our own practices.
