Synopsis

This book offers hope and the practical means for university and college teachers seeking a new experience of learning, for their students and themselves. The text deals with learning which is real, genuine, relevant to learners now and for the future which is significant for their lives. Such learning embraces their relationships, work and careers, community, society and their world. The two authors of this book provide direct support for teachers who wish to move teaching toward facilitating learning, thereby transforming the relationship between teacher and learner and between learners. Information technology, whilst useful, is not a substitute for the learning advocated here; facilitation enables learners to use technology productively and as a complementary part of the learning process. This book enables teachers to acquire an understanding of facilitation and to enhance their ability to facilitate rather than teach in the traditional way. The authors emphasize the centrality of engaging in reflective dialogue with both colleagues and students. They explore the significance of emotion and action as well as cognition in learning. Additionally, the text examines how teachers can best create the conditions for reflective learning.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Praise for the previous edition:

“This is a passionate and practical book”
Teaching in Higher Education

“This book offers valuable insights into a process for becoming a reflective learner and for developing students into reflective learners as well.”
Studies in Higher Education

This significantly revised edition includes the most current thinking on reflective learning as well as stories from academics and students that bring to life the practical impact of reflection in action. Based on sound theoretical concepts, the authors offer a range of solutions for different teaching situations, taking into account factors such as group size, physical space, and technology. They also offer facilitation rather than traditional teaching methods as a productive and useful skill that helps teachers and encourages students to interact and develop reflexive skills that can be used beyond their student years.

Based on rigorous theories, Facilitating Reflective Learning in Higher Education offers new insights for university and college teachers seeking to enhance or diversify their practices and allows them to effectively facilitate their students’ reflective learning.
