Can you name five reflective models ?
Reflective practitioners do what?
What were Dewey’s (1933) 8 characteristics of reflection?
Open-mindedness - active desire to listen to more sides than one, give full attention to alternative possibilities, to recognize the possibility of error even in beliefs that are dear to us. Practitioners who are open-minded are continually examining the rationales that underlie what is taken as natural and right, and take pains to seek out conflicting evidence. Reflective practitioners are continually asking themselves why they are doing what they are doing.
Responsibility - involves careful consideration of the consequences to which an action leads. Responsible practitioners ask themselves why they are doing what they are doing in a way that goes beyond questions of immediate utility (i.e., does it work) to consider the ways in which it is working, why it is working, and for whom is it working.
3) Wholeheartedness - Dewey meant that open-mindedness and responsibility must be central components in the professional life of the reflective practitioner = regularly examine their own assumptions and beliefs and the results of their actions and approach all situations with the attitude that they can learn something new.
