The concept of critical reflection: promises and contradictions

Stephen Brookfield · 1 Sep 2009

In the world of professional education today we see frequent calls for practitioners to be critically reflective.

Reference is made to a small but carefully structured quantitative research study in Auckland, New Zealand which examined the knowledge applied and produced in the practice of social work. This study found evidence consistent with Philp’s [(1979). Notes on…
