Critical Reflection Tools
Critical Reflection Tools
How a teacher thinks about knowing changes how they reflect. This chapter looks at epistemic stances and how they mature, the taxonomy that places critical reflection at the deepest level, the Ripples model for thinking about how learning spreads, the philosophical claims behind critical reflective practice, and the practical tools of critical analysis: levels of analysis, the information-need cycle, and the four competences of a critical thinker.
Absolute, transitional, independent, and contextual knowing as developmental stages of the reflective teacher
Non-reflective action, reflective action, and premise reflection as levels of depth
Five questions for designing teaching that spreads learning outward like ripples on water
External constraints, retrospection-evaluation-reorientation, and the emancipatory aim of critical reflective enquiry
Three levels of analysis, the information-need cycle, and the four competences of the critical thinker
