  • Supporting Reflective Processes with Students: Insights from a Review of Research
    Supporting reflective processes with students: insights from a review of research Peter Kahn, University of Manchester Context This briefing note is intended for staff within higher education whose students engage in reflective processes as part of their learning. We offer a framework that tutors may employ to help shape the way in which their students carry out such processes. The framework was developed during a review of research studies pertinent to professional education, with a particular focus on new academic staff. Introduction: streams of consciousness or genuine learning? The notion of ‘reflection’, by which we broadly mean the extended consideration of problematic aspects of knowledge or practice, is now widely employed across higher education, especially in professional contexts and in personal development planning for students. Reflection, for instance, may be used to help an individual understand their professional practice or to gain insights into their progress against a set of personal goals. The conceptual overview for the review, however, highlighted the open-ended nature of this notion, with theorists further identifying various forms of reflection. For instance, van Manen (1977) refers to technical reflection, which concerns the examination of the means that have been used to achieve certain goals, practical reflection, which also involves consideration of the ends themselves, and critical reflection, which addresses judgments on such issues as the underlying ethics and the wider social environment. The review also emphasizes the challenge that students may face in learning how to engage in such complex thought processes. For one thing, it is difficult to sustain a problematic focus over an extended period, especially when there might be uncomfortable implications for one’s own professional practice or approach to life.

  • Herefore Rather Simplified, Painting a Homogenized Picture
    STUDENTS IN CHANGING HIGHER EDUCATION LANDSCAPES One-day conference, University of Surrey, 14th June 2019 Venue: Lecture theatre block (LTA and LTB) Across many countries of the world, higher education landscapes have changed significantly over recent years. Market mechanisms have become more prominent, and politicians have become increasingly concerned about graduates’ transitions into the labour market. In some nations, although not all, students are now expected to make a substantial contribution to the cost of their higher education and, across mainland Europe, the Bologna Process has reshaped the nature of students’ experiences considerably. This one-day conference seeks to explore understandings of students in this shifting context. Further information: The conference is being organised by the ‘EuroStudents’ research team (Rachel Brooks, Achala Gupta, Sazana Jayadeva and Anu Lainio) – further details are available at www.eurostudents.net. The registration fee for the conference will be £50 (to include lunch). 9:45 – 10:00 Coffee and welcome 10:00 – 10:45 Keynote Venue: LTB RILLE RAAPER, Durham University Troubling the notion of student as consumer: Fabrications, contradictions and political engagement 11:00 – 13:00 Panel 1: Students in international and transnational educational contexts LIN MA ‘International-ness’?
