SEDA One Day Event
REFLECTION IN LEARNING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
16th October 2000, London
Reflection and reflective writing have increased in prominence as learning
and assessment strategies, and as techniques for and evidence of
professional development. But numerous questions arise in attempts to
formalise the role of reflection in the curriculum or in a staff development
strategy, including:
* Is reflection an activity or a capacity?
* Is it just this week's jargon or a real process?
* How does reflection relate to learning?
* Is reflective writing the same as reflection?
* How should reflection and reflective writing be assessed?
This one day event is designed to give participants:
* an overview of the theoretical basis of reflection
* directions to further reading
* a broad understanding of the uses reflection can be put to in
teaching, self-evaluation, and staff development
* some specific suggestions to try out
* a sense of enthusiasm and interest in reflection
* an opportunity to participate in discussion.
The day will begin at 9.45am, with coffee available from 9.15am. It will
close at 4pm, after a plenary discussion. The fee for the day is £70 per
delegate (including refreshments and buffet lunch) and a delegate
registration form can be found on the SEDA web site at:

* Professor John Cowan, Heriot-Watt University
* Melissa Highton, Napier University
* Professor Donnie MacLeod and Allan Cowieson, Northern College
* Rachel Redwood, University of Plymouth.
The event is being co-ordinated by Dr Shan Wareing, Royal Holloway,
