Models of reflection
A dialectical process: it looks inwards at our
thoughts and thought processes and outward
at the situation in which we consider the
interaction of the internal and external, our
reflection orientates us for further thought
and action. Reflection is thus ‘meta
thinking’ (thinking about thinking) in which
we consider the relationship between our
thoughts and action in a particular context.

Critical Reflection
Critical Reflection
Critical reflection involves the identification
of deep seated assumptions, but with the
primary purpose of bringing about some
improvements in professional practice
(Fook&Askeland, 2006)

Critical reflection
The critical reflection questioning process
can often be experienced as too intrusive,
too personal or too confronting, and the
process is sometimes labelled as
‘bombarding’ or ‘interrogation’ because of its
concreteness and directness. It appears to
contravene unspoken cultures around what is
regarded as polite public behaviour with
regard to more personal topics.

The embedded, and often implicit or tacit beliefs

More superficial assumptions might include, for
example, beliefs about proper customs, where as
deeper assumptions might include, for example,
those about what constitutes legitimate
knowledge.

Reflection aims to challenge cultures, that is,
the preconceived ideas which are embedded
in practices, in order to examine and change
them if they do not fit with the stated ideals
of individual professionals

Professionals should be able to interpret and

in their reactions and actions
Critical reflection and culture
Critical reflection and culture
Some current work place cultures work against
critical reflection as they become more and more
procedure and regulation based. The demand from
the environment is that ‘Students must be ready
for, not critical of, practice’ (Preston-Shoot, 2000)
