Reflection in Constellation: Post Theories, Subjectivity, and Teacher Preparation
Myers, Kayla D.; Bridges-Rhoads, Sarah; Cannon, Susan Ophelia
Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, v38 n4 p322-337 2017
Reflection is, no doubt, useful for shifting thinking, knowing, and doing. Indeed, many have felt its benefits. In this article, we wonder how reconceptualizing reflection with poststructural theories of subjectivity might disrupt some of the long-held assumptions that can produce resistance to reflective practices. We caution readers, though, that the ideas that we offer here are not to be taken up as solutions or prescriptions to improve reflection but as generative, incomplete, and always-in-process practices. We hope that readers leave this piece with questions about how reflection functions and how they might imagine different (unthought) ways to reflect.
