Overview

Focusing on the areas of health, social care and education, this volume outlines a new, well designed reflective teaching and learning model that can be used with single- or multi-disciplinary groups of students and professionals. It offers an overview of the origins of the different theories of reflection and explains how different levels of reflection can be understood and incorporated into everyday teaching and training. Outlining specific teaching and learning techniques to be used in training situations, it also includes examples of how these techniques have been successfully used with groups of professionals from health and social care areas.

Synopsis

This work reviews the design, implementation, and evaluation of a model of teaching and learning that encourages health and social service professionals to reflect upon (and presumably change) their attitudes and practice approach to clients through an engagement with the perspectives of service users. The author describes how the model was developed in the context of work involving families with children with intellectual disabilities and considers ways in which the model may be transferable to other areas of practice.
