Maths Chapter Core Meeting - Reflective Practice (7 May 2013)

4 Critical Questions in PLC
What we want our students to learn?
How do I know they have learnt?
What do I do after they have learnt?
What do I do if they have not learnt?

Reflection in Action vs Reflection on Action
Reflection in action allows the practitioner to redesign what he/ she is doing whilst he/she is doing it. This is commonly associated with experienced practitioners. However, it is much neglected.  
“To think about what one is doing whilst one is doing it; it is typically stimulated by surprise, by something which puzzled the practitioner concerned”(Greenwood, 1993).

We can see here that reflection on action involves turning information into knowledge, by conducting a cognitive post mortem.
“The retrospective contemplation of practice undertaken in order to uncover the knowledge used in practical situations, by analysing and interpreting the information recalled” (Fitzgerald, 1994pp67)
