On a Personal Note: Practical Pedagogical Activities to Foster the Development of "Reflective Practitioners"
Jewiss, Jennifer; Clark-Keefe, Kelly
American Journal of Evaluation, v28 n3 p334-347 2007
The necessities and benefits of reflexivity are now well laid out in the broader social science literature, and the American Evaluation Association's (2004) "Guiding Principles for Evaluators" identify reflective practices that evaluators are expected to carry out. This article uses the context of the university classroom and a writing sample to demonstrate how disciplined self-reflection can help students examine personal perspectives that surface during the research process and monitor bias. Failure to develop and maintain a reflective stance can result in a variety of ethical and practical dilemmas. Fortunately, written reflections and classroom discussions can help screen for potential dilemmas and point the evaluation in more appropriate directions. (Contains 18 resources and 8 notes.)
