to reflect or to reflex ?

This week we have been looking at reflective practice and its place in both our course and professional practice. Refection not only give us time to look at things in a stuctherd and logical way. But Make us take time to stop and think. But it has its limits and problems. The  main thing being its only as good as we want it to be and too often its from one view point. It is also too esay to be hard on oneself and only focus on what went went wrong and not on the good things.

It too over time can become well lets face it a boring experience just something we have to do because we are told its the right and profesoanl thing to do. Yes we can try new ways and ideas of how to do it but it is still something that is done in isolation and is what ever model of relation you use at the end of the day looking at the same set of questions and cycle.



Round and round it go's like a ride you long to get off but cannot find the way out.
Why dose it have to be that way ? Why do we put up with it ?

They must be a more effective and wider picture we can take to give make real value to reflection and and make it a passive experience after all we teacher's try hard to make learning for our learner non passive. So why do we sale our selves short when it come to our own learning.


Another way is out there its called Reflexive practice using this way can take our experience of reflection to a whole new level. Often what happen in class room and the way things turn out when teaching come about from factors out side the room. Who we are , what we believe in , who we work for , what they believe in , the mood we are in, how we learned. Many of these things also effect our learners too.








So why not think about a wider picture when we reflect after all we do not teach in a bubble way from the world around neither do we leave our thoughts and mood at the class room door however hard we try to be profesonal.
