Kirsty,



Be sure to speak to Johanna Holtan about her experience using reflective practice as part of the MasterCard Foundation Scheme Programme at University of Edinburgh.



I’m using some reflection with students on the CityLab project, as part of their coursework submissions, and some exercises, but would like to do more too, as this is probably an underutilised approach with students.



Please let us know when you have something to share.

    Dear JISCmail colleagues,



    The University of Edinburgh Careers Service is currently involved in a short research project aiming at building a repository of resources for reflective practice (for both staff and students, in academic, co- or extra-curricular contexts). As part of this, we’re trying to build a picture of what’s going on within and beyond our institution, with the aim of understanding what is most common practice, and presenting examples of best and/or innovative practice. I am working on the broader UK HE picture, and I would greatly appreciate any input from the JISCmail community on reflective practice within your institutions.



    We would be interested to hear about what is going on within your institution: which practices are staff using or encouraged to use, and to what end? What guidance is given on how to approach reflective assignments and tasks, and are any particular models of reflection favoured? If you are currently involved in supporting or engaging in reflective practice, what are your views on how this works and its effectiveness? Has reflection ‘delivered’ more or less than anticipated? How enthusiastically do staff engage with it? We would also be interested to know how and why certain approaches are decided on and taken – is this based on previous positive results and/or particular areas of the literature?



    We would be especially interested in practice in areas outside the more usual professional domains (teaching, psychology, social work and so forth), or where the practice is particularly unusual or innovative. Do please contact me directly if you are able to share any information: [log in to unmask]



    Many thanks in advance.

    Best wishes,

    Kirsty
