Facilitating Reflective Learning in Higher Education

Description

Praise for the previous edition:"This is a passionate and practical book" Teaching in Higher Education"This book offers valuable insights into a process for becoming a reflective learner and for developing students into reflective learners as well." Studies in Higher EducationThis significantly revised edition includes the most current thinking on reflective learning as well as stories from academics and students that bring to life the practical impact of reflection in action. Based on sound theoretical concepts, the authors offer a range of solutions for different teaching situations, taking into account factors such as group size, physical space, and technology. They also offer facilitation rather than traditional teaching methods as a productive and useful skill that helps teachers and encourages students to interact and develop reflexive skills that can be used beyond their student years. Based on rigorous theories, Facilitating Reflective Learning in Higher Education offers new insights for university and college teachers seeking to enhance or diversify their practices and allows them to effectively facilitate their students' reflective learning.
