Preferred term

reflective practice  

Definition

  • Reflective practice involves making sense of events, situations, or actions and emphasizes the importance of a thoughtful approach to understanding experience, whether in real time or retrospectively. Through this process we draw on existing ideas—our own or other people's—and in applying them to experience, may confirm these ideas or develop new ones.
