Is reflexivity the condition of taking account of the personality and presence of the researcher within the investigation? Some argue that it is and it is necessary because self-examination is commonplace in society today. Improving and building are common goals, and within education we are committed to questioning in order to examine, build, and improve our teaching, our curricula, and ourselves. However, is the educational researcher adding to current knowledge and skills by building onto what exists? Often the new constructions require significant reflexive awareness and are required to overcome inertia, existing structures and the established norms in order to attend to our reflexive self-development.
