Reflection what is it? If an individual was to look up the word reflection in a dictionary, it can come across quite broad. For instance, the Oxford dictionary states that “reflection is a serious thought or consideration”. But what is there to consider and how do we approach a subject to reflect on.

Reflective teaching - a development of future action from the reflection of past and current behavior Introduction In the past ten years, the terms `reflection ' and `critical reflection ' have increasingly appeared in descriptions of approaches to teacher education. The concept of reflective practice has found wide application in the field of education, for learners, teachers and those who teach teachers. Reflection is the key to successful learning for teachers and for learners. The origins
Concerning such traditional classroom practice, Harris, et al. (2010) stated that traditional teaching fails to base itself in evidence-based judgement and leads to unreflective thought, rote behaviour, and limited repertoire of practice. According to them, this unreflective teaching may eventually result in ineffective and unresponsive teaching and consequently low achieving students. As they noted, in this kind of teaching, teachers do things the same way day after day and year after year, fail
The Latin root of the word ‘Reflection’ refers to the ‘moving back’ or getting or bending back” to something. This bending back is of significant importance in any profession, any task and any practice as suggested by Horwood (1989). Put in very simple words, every time we do something and later stop to think or ponder over what we did, how we did and why we did, consequently also thinking on what were the effects of such doing and if or how it could have been done better, then we are actually

Through reflective teaching, the teachers can explore and discover their own ideas and practices, which can make the teachers more proficient and skilled in teaching. Teaching is an intricate and highly accomplished process, and teachers must implement self evaluation (reflection) to make learning effective. The paper highlights the importance of reflective teaching and its impact on pedagogical process as well as language
Introduction Reflection is a huge part of what is commonly known as ‘experimental learning’. The Process of experimental learning has been explored in great depth and models produced of the learning process by Argyris and Schön, 1978; Kolb, 1984; Boud, Keough and Walker, 1985. All models partake in the involvement of reflection on experience. There is a clear contrast between ‘experimental learning and learning from experience (Usher and Solomon, 1999, cited in moon, 2004). Learning from experience
Reflective practice are methods and techniques that help individuals and groups reflect on their experiences and actions in order to engage in a process of continuous learning. By trying out methods of reflection and personal inquiry we can nurture greater self-awareness, imagination and creativity, as well as systemic, non-linear modes of thinking and analysis. Reflective Practice is a very adaptable process. It is a set of ideas that can be used alongside many other concepts for training, learning
of their work. The existing state of affairs thus invites a call for reflective teaching, which is yet to get justice in teacher education. Critically reflective teachers are always thinking about how they influence the learning and teaching environment and make it effective, and importantly upon the likely effects of their teaching and presence upon the quality of their students ' learning.
