Understanding Teacher Reflectivity in Contemporary Times: A (Re)Review of the Literature
Rigney, James; Ferland, Tara; Dana, Nancy Fichtman
New Educator, v15 n4 p305-326 2019
The Association of Teacher Educators Reflectivity Commission was established in 2004. This literature review updates the Commission's work by examining 24 empirical research articles published in the Association's national journals, "The New Educator" and "Action in Teacher Education," since the commission's inception. We report three contemporary trends regarding the incorporation of reflectivity in teacher education: (1) the use of diverse frameworks for reflectivity, (2) innovative pedagogical tools for reflectivity, and (3) culturally responsive reflective practices. This article defines, summarizes, and discusses each trend. We also discuss potential avenues for future work in studying and facilitating reflection.
