Product Description

Review

"This is one of the most interesting texts I have read formany years.. It is authoritative and clearly written. It provides a rich set of examples of teaching, and a reflective discourse."- Professor George Brown "...succeeds in inspiring the reader by making the process of reflective learning interesting and thought provoking...has a narrative drive which makes it a book too good to put down." - Dr Mary Thorpe "What comesthrough very strongly and is an admirable feature is so much of the author's own personal experience, what it felt like to take risks and how his own practice developed as a result of taking risks, exploring uncharted territory...The book has the potential to become the reflective practitioner's 'bible'." - Dr Lorraine Stefani --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

Beginning each chapter with a question with which college and university teachers can be expected to identify, this text then goes on to answer the question by presenting a series of examples. Each chapter closes with "second thoughts", presenting a viewpoint somewhat distinct from that of the author. The aim of the text is to assist university teachers to plan and run innovative activities to enable their students to engage in effective reflective learning.

Format:Paperback
I have found this book extremely useful, teaching at Masters level for the first time - the sections on use of Socratic Dialogue have been especially good, both for tutorial discussions and assessed written work - indeed, it is worth having for those sections alone. It is also useful for students, to help give some clarity to what is expected of them! This book should be in every university and departmental library.
