Why reflection matters in WIL

Reflective practice is embedded across WIL subjects nationally and globally. Reflective practice can support transformative learning (Mezirow, 1991) and skills development including metacognition, creativity, and life-long learning (Harvey, et. al. 2010). While we cannot assume that students and teachers have developed a capacity for reflective practice, we do know that the development of reflective practice skills can be scaffolded and taught (Coulson & Harvey, 2013). As educators, we need to develop our own reflective practice knowledge and skills if we are to inspire and support learners with well-designed reflection for learning.

In this seminar participants will:

  • Consider the scholarship underpinning good reflective practice in higher education
  • Experience different approaches to reflective practice as they relate to their own education context
  • Review and evaluate appropriate reflective practices for their WIL learning and teaching context

    Complete this form to join Macquarie’s WIL CoP (to make sure you receive future communications)!
