The article deals with the teacher’s reflective practice as manifestation of learning from experience and investigation of one’s actions in professional activities, presenting the results of the quantitative empirical study. The conducted exploratory factor analysis, applying rotation of factor axes by Varimax method enabled to identify significant factors of   the teacher’s reflective practice. Four statistically significant factors were distinguished: investigation of professional and personal activities as a guarantee of accumulation and improvement of professional experience; analysis and refection on personal experience as a factor motivating learning; dissemination of acquired experience in the interaction with school community members as a possibility to learn; learning from the experience as a precondition for success of the learning organization.Research results revealed that teachers understand the importance of learning from experience; however, they are not inclined to conduct a deeper analysis of their practice.

Reflection On Practice

This chapter explores the concept of learning from your experience in clinical practice, and is designed to help you to use reflection as a means of learning both to make decisions in practice and to learn from the decisions that you have made. The use and value of reflective practice will be explored in many of the chapters to come; it is considered to be essential in the development of decision-making skills as a student nurse, and for your ongoing personal and professional development as a qualified registered nurse. Learning from experience is often referred to as ‘experiential learning’ and one of its key skills is reflection. In other words, reflection is the key to helping you to use experiences as a student and a person in order to learn from them. This chapter will provide some definitions of reflection and will introduce some commonly used frameworks or models that can help you to develop the underpinning skills required if you are to be a reflective practitioner. There are also activities for you to complete, so that you can begin to use a range of different frameworks that are appropriate to different situations. To place reflection in the context of your learning to become a nurse and therefore to achieve the appropriate competencies, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) states that: We can see from this statement that there appear to be some key assumptions and activities that are seen as working together, including reflection, and these will be explored particularly in this chapter. Reflection on practice, and subsequently for learning from this practice, will be two of the most important aspects that will be addressed. To begin with, however, we need to consider some of the underlying principles in which reflection and reflective practice are embedded. Learning from our experiences means that we can either use what we have learned to develop and to enhance future experiences, or alternatively that we can learn from any mistakes that we may have made in the anticipation that we will not make the same ones again.

In this paper, we present an empirical study with the research purpose to determine the opinions of future teachers on experiential learning outside the classroom in the cemetery. We define experiential learning as learning that combines a person’s sensory and emotional experience, thinking, analysis and action into a whole. When planning learning activities of experiential learning outside the classroom, it is necessary to focus on a place that can contribute significantly to a richer learning experience. One of the possible places could be a cemetery. The research sample included 65 students from the last academic year studying primary education at the Faculty of Education of the University of Maribor in Slovenia. The research was conducted in March 2020. The results showed that students associate the word “cemetery” with death, candle, grave and funeral. However, the phrase “teaching at the cemetery” is considered innovative and inappropriate. Most students have no personal experience of teaching in cemeteries. The answers to the question about the appropriateness of teaching at the cemetery are equally divided. Social studies are considered the most appropriate subject for teaching at the cemetery, and sports is the least appropriate. The students also feel that they are not qualified enough to teach outside the classroom.

Significant Factors

The motivations of those who give consent to bio-banking research have received a great deal of attention in recent years. Previous work draws upon the notion of altruism, though the self and/or family have been proposed as significant factors. Drawing on 11 interviews with staff responsible for seeking consent to cancer bio-banking and 13 observations of staff asking people to consent in routine clinical encounters, we investigate how potential participants are oriented to, and constructed as oriented to, self and other related concerns (Author 2007). We adopt a rhetorical discourse analytic approach to the data and our perspective can be labelled as ‘ethics-in-interaction’. Using analytic concepts such as repetition, extreme case formulation, typical case formulation and contrast structure, our observations are three-fold. Firstly, we demonstrate that orientation to ‘general others’ in altruistic accounts and to ‘self’ in minimising burden are foregrounded in constructions of motivation to participate in cancer bio-banking across the data corpus. Secondly, we identify complex relational accounts which involve the self as being more prominent in the consent encounter data where the staff have a nursing background whereas ‘general others’ feature more when the staff have a scientific background. Finally, we suggest implications based on the disparities between how participants are oriented in interviews and consent encounters which may have relevance for developing staff’s reflective practice.

The Supreme Court

AbstractThis paper is an empirical study on the nominations and appointments of Supreme Court Justices during a twenty-year period from 1988, when the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) was created in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, to 2008. The study examines the profile of individuals nominated by the JBC including their gender, age, geographical origin, academic background, and professional experience. It also explores whether the appointing Presidents display any preferences based on personal characteristics relating the effects of these preferences to the diversity on the Supreme Court. The study indicates that nominees and appointees all hail from the same background. As a result, membership of the Supreme Court is sorely unrepresentative of Philippine society. This study sets the stage for future research that will determine how this lack of diversity on the Supreme Court can affect the resolution of legal issues.

The Impact

This article extends debates of how organizing practices of reflexivity and collective mindfulness are encouraged and sustained for learning, critique and change. We present, in a practice-based study, a fourfold framework of anticipatory, deliberative, organizing and critically reflexive practices. Our empirical study illustrates how these multiple forms of reflexive practice can support and co-shape one another so that knowing what to do next emerges in the midst of practice. Our analysis demonstrates the value of going beyond the optical metaphor of reflection to that of critical reflexivity and the metaphor of diffraction. This approach extends understandings of reflective practice in ways that foreground entanglement, co-production and the relational qualities of practice. Diffraction encourages managers and practitioners to not only reflect on what has been done but to also map the effects of their practices and interventions. This orientation assists them to notice the impact of their actions and better understand the complexities of organized reflection-in-action.

The Uk

Problems associated with the use of Aston psychometrically based measures are evalu ated in the light of experience gained in and the findings of an empirical study of 45 electrical engineering companies in the UK in which the Aston methodology was used. It is shown that (a) the unidimensionality of multi-item measures must be clearly established if loss of information is to be avoided, (b) scales constructed by aggregation of a number of subscales suggested by factor analysis should not be given general labels beyond the description of subscales included in the final scale, and (c) abbreviated scales based on the original study may only reflect sample-specific relationships and may not be used as proxies of original scales in the study of other samples. The objectivity of factor analysis is also addressed.
