An Explanation for the Descriptor "Reflective"
|
| Educators should be able to
demonstrate reflective, critical thinking skills in order to engage
effectively in transformational systemic change. We are dedicated
to developing educators to think actively about practice in order to
improve their teaching and to facilitate student learning (Freese,
1999). There must be a connection between practitioners and the
educators of practitioners in terms of dialogue, critical inquiry,
and reflective practices (McIntyre & Byrd, 1996) in order to process
such connections. Strategies to foster reflective and critical
thinking skills include delineation of the problem, information
gathering, and diagnosis and evaluation in which information is used
to transform the educational process (Strohm & Baukus, 1995).
