Abstract

Audience: academic staff and those in professional development; educationists. It is on many reading lists though not written for students This was my first approach to the literature of reflection and reflective learning. It contains a review of the literature and an attempt to make sense of reflection in academic contexts in terms of a number of models that have been used or modified in other publications (eg McDrury and Alterio, 2003; META FDTL project, University of Gloucestershire). The book endeavours to relate theory to what it is important for students to learn in the classroom in higher education and professional development together with practical ‘things to do’. The book continues to sell although I would regard Moon (2004) to have superseded it.
