  • 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.

  • 25Th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Date of Issue: 13 September 1965
    SPECIAL STAMP ISSUE 25th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Date of issue: 13 September 1965 ‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’ With these words Winston Churchill paid tribute to the men of the Royal Air Force who defended Britain against the German air assault in the autumn of 1940. Only months after the retreat from Dunkirk, Britain faced perhaps the darkest days of the entire war as the Luftwaffe launched an all-out bombardment intended to pave the way for a German invasion. For the first time in the history of warfare, an entire battle was fought in the air: the Battle of Britain took place between 10 July and 31 October 1940, reaching its climax in mid-September when the German bombers began to blitz London. By the end of the battle, the RAF had lost 911 aircraft with 414 pilots killed; Luftwaffe losses totalled 1,733 aircraft. REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL STAMP ISSUE September 1965 marked the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) planned a special commemoration during Battle of Britain Week, an event that had been held annually since the war. On 11 May 1964 L G Johnson, a holder of the Distinguished Flying Cross and Deputy General Secretary of the Royal Air Forces Association, wrote to the Postmaster General (PMG), Reginald Bevins MP, with a request that the Post Office issue special stamps to mark the anniversary. He wrote: ‘This turning point in our history ... should not be allowed to pass uncommemorated, and one very appropriate way which would bring the occasion to the minds of people both at home and overseas would be the issue of a special postage stamp or stamps as is customary on similar anniversaries of national importance or interest.’ Despite Johnson’s assertion that stamps commemorating ‘similar anniversaries’ were the norm, D H Beaumont of the Postal Services Department replied that a Battle of Britain issue would not be possible, based on the Post Office’s policy regarding special stamps.
