What are we all referring to when labeling something as reflective? Is
it just metacognition?
[Carol Macdonald] Yes it is, but in the research, the reflective practice
passes from the researcher into the teacher, in a way which would make LSV
happy. The questions is, how much this processes causes the change in the
whole teaching context, including the children method and so on. I
understand metacognition quite well, but don't know how generative it is in
this context. Thanks for the comment.
