Reflective Teaching in Higher Education

This new edition offers a very positive contribution to the literature in this area. It maintains its distinctive focus on reflective practice which is vital to all practitioners studying practice-based professional development programmes/PGCerts. -- Jennie Mills, Associate Professor, Acting Head of the Academic Development Centre, University of Warwick, UK * Proposal Review *
The proposed new edition is a timely and welcome initiative. It makes a positive contribution through the consideration of key issues in a post-pandemic sector and I am very pleased to see decolonization of the curriculum explicitly referred to for the new edition of the text. -- Caroline Lewis, Lecturer and Programme Director for the Education Studies (BA) programme, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, UK * Proposal Review *
This new edition brings things up to date, addresses some more topical issues, and just feels like it refreshes the outlook of the text. I agree with the statement in the review document which suggests that the Learning section would benefit coming sooner in the book as the contexts of learning are something which need to be unpacked and understood more readily. -- Jason Hirons, Senior Lecturer & Course Leader Distance Learning, Arts University Plymouth, UK * Proposal Review *
The new edition proposes to address both students' and teachers' crucial themes. It also offers to explore current HE agendas and concerns such as inclusion and diversity, decolonization, AI and Climate emergency. The inclusion of new sections has the potential to be very useful and adapted to the current context of HE in the UK and other regions of the world, providing opportunities to reduce ethnocentrism and diversify the approach to Learning and Teaching. -- Tania Dias Fonseca, Senior Lecturer in Learning and Teaching, Learning and Teaching Enhancement Centre, Kingston University, UK * Proposal Review *

“The text is recommended to our students on our 30credit module on the PGCert entitled, ‘Enhancing learning and teaching through reflective practice’ because it underpins the principles of ‘reflective practice’. It helps students to understand that becoming a reflective practitioner is key to deepening and improving their teaching practice in higher education contexts. It also helps students to make a link between approaches to the curriculum and teaching and learning and your pedagogical approach … There are no aspects of the book that are cause for concern or reservation.”
