1. Introduction
Inspiration teaching involves a tutor with the capability to inspire students is the kind
of tutor that will be remember by students. Inspiring students is important to ensure their
success and encouraging them to accomplish their potential. A tutor that inspire is considered
as role model, an impact that goes far beyond academic achievement. Inspiration learning
can be considered as process of acquiring new understanding, knowledge, skills, behaviour,
values, attitudes and preferences (
Miller, Manderfeld and Harsma, 2020). A person can also learn from the professionals or role models who inspire them from their
experience, shared ideas, opinions, values and thoughts. Reflective teaching can be defined as
process under which tutors think over their teaching practices, analyse how something was
taught and how the teaching might be improved or transformed for better learning outcomes.
In this report, the initial task involves analysis of theories, principles and models of learning
used by individuals to improve their learning. These important theories involve
behaviourism, constructivism, cognitivism, constructivism and humanism. Two important
models of learning will be discussed such Pedagogy and Andragogy (
Lefrancois, 2019). It
also involves discussion of model of preference such as Kolb’s reflective model, Honey and
Mumford model, Gardner and Flaming model. These are models are used to discuss the ways
through individuals can improve their learning. Learning theories effectively determine the
ways through which students receive process and sustain knowledge at the time of learning.
Cognitive, environment and emotional impact along with experience, all essential elements
have important part in how knowledge or views of world can be acquired or transformed and
understanding and skill retained. 2. Findings - 1.1 Analyse theories, principles and models of learning.

AND TRAINING
Behaviourism
– The behaviourism learning theory is considered as ideas that how a
student behaves is based on their interaction with their environment (
Lefrancois,
2019). It clearly defines that behaviours are mainly influenced and learned from
external forces apart from internal forces. Behavioural learning theory is recognised
as basis for psychology that will be observed and quantified. This theory is considered
as the basis for psychology that will be analysed and quantified. Positive
reinforcement is analysed as popular element of behaviourism. Teachers in classroom
can use positive reinforcement in order to help students in better learning a concept.
Similarly, constructivism and other important theories, models and principles will be
discussed in this model. Two important originators of behaviourist approach for learning are John. B. Watson and
BF. Skinner. Behavioural theory defines that the behaviour of an individuals is a specific
outcome of stimuli that elicited specific responses. Watson has determines that conclusion
associated with the development of human being should be based on observation of overt
behaviour rather than concentration of subconscious motives or latest cognitive procedure.
Strengths of theory is that it concentrates on human behavioural changes that may arise from
their motives. However, this theory is not acceptable in different situation of learning.
Therefore, it cannot be applied in learning. The study of Ivan Pavlov a famous behavioural theorist was depended on digestive procedure
and communication of salivation and stomach function. This theory is based on two
principles that operant conditioning and classical conditioning. To identify behavioural
learning, Pavlov experimented a situation of providing food to dog by ringing a bell and
observed that salivation occurs when dog consider food. This theory discovered that
repetition of learning tends to create of sense of understanding among learners. Pavlov
identified that dog salivated shortly before they were given food. Pavlov started ringing bell
when he always provided food to dog and similar after too many repetition of this task dog
started remembering that when bell rang the food is served and the dog ceased to salivate at
the sound of bell.
From the skinner research on animals, it is concluded that both animals and
human being will repeat actions that leads to favourable outcomes and they will not perform
those acts that produced unfavourable outcomes. If rats get foods by pressing a push lever,
then it will press again and skinner defined this response as operant and decrease the
likelihood that it will arise in future. Therefore it can be stated that behavioural theory should
use in learning in order to promote behaviour among student that is desirable and discourage.

AND TRAINING
Cognitivism – This is a broad learning theory that is used to explain the mental
processes and how they are influenced by both internal and external factors to make
learning in an individual. This theory is proposed by educational psychologist Jean
Piaget. This theory concentrates on the processes involved in learning apart from
observed behaviours (Gopalan and et.al, 2017). As opposed to behaviourism,
cognitivism does not need an outward exhibition of learning but it concentrates more
on the internal processes and connection that take place during learning. Theorist
Jean Piaget proposed most influential theories of cognitive development. In this
theory, theorists suggested that children move through four different stages of mental
development. This theory not only focus on understanding how children aquire
knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence.
Constructivism
– Constructivist theory is an active procedure in which learner
identifies and contruct new ideas/ concepts based on current/ prior knowledge.
Strengths of constructivism are that this theory allows learners to discover principles
for themselves by solving problems. Weakness of constructivism is that instruction
should be focused with the experiences and contexts that make the learner willing and
capable to learner. As per the Clark (2018) this believes in personal construction of
meaning by the learner through experience and that is meaning is influenced by the
communication of prior knowledge and new events. Standards of this theory involves
following:
Knowledge is developed rather than innate or passively absorbed.
Learners build new knowledge upon the foundation of previous learning.
Learning is active procedure rather than a passive procedure.
All the understanding is socially constructed (
Krijgsman and et.al, 2017).
Overall understanding is personal and it existing in the mind.
There are three kinds of construction such as cognitive, social and radical. John Dewey was considered as philosophical founder of this approach. Bruner in 1990 and
Piaget (1972) are recognised as the main theorists between the cognitive, constructivists,
while Vygotsky is identified as major theorist among social constructivists. John Dewey
theory rejects the notion that schools need to concentrate on repetitive, rote memorization and
introduced method of directed living. Student should engage in real world and practical
workshops in which they will demonstrate their knowledge of creativity and innovation.
Learners should get opportunities to think for themselves and articulate their thoughts.
TEMPLATE FOR UNIT 502 THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND MODELS IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
Further, piaget theory reject the ideas that learning was the passive assimilation of given
knowledge. It has inspired several education principles such as discovery learning,
sensitivity toward children readiness and acceptance of individual differences. The strength
of this theory is that it allows learner to discover principles for themselves through problem
solving whereas its weakness is that instructions need to be related to experience and context
which makes the student willing and capable to learn.
Humanism – This theory concentrates on the value of human being and provides the
onus of learning away from teacher on to the learner. It is based on belief that person
is self-determining, free to prepare their own selections. Learners are influenced to be
curious and should have a desire for personal growth and development. It is student
centred activity where students play a crucial role in deciding what they must be
allowed to learning. The common premise of this theory is that students have a natural
capability for learning and that important learning take place when students can
consider the subject matter is relevant towards them. Tutor acts a facilitator who
encourages learning apart from identifying particular methods or techniques of
instruction. Strengths of humanism involve emphasis switched from teacher centred
to learner centred. Two important theorists of humanism are Abraham Maslow and
Carl Rogers. Abraham Maslow’s humanistic theory of personality defines that
individual attain their full potential by moving from basic needs to self-actualization.
Hierarchy of needs ranks human need from most basic physical needs to most
advanced need of self-actualization. Maslow studied personality of individuals who
are healthy , creative and productive involving Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt and
Thomas Jefferson and others. Theory identified that human being share similar
characteristics such as open, creativity, spontaneous, concerned for other and
acceptance of themselves. In comparison, Carl Roger theory of humanistic
personality emphasis on the significance of self-actualizing tendency in shaping
human personalities. However, these theories can be criticized due to lack empirical
evidence in research. Principle of learning

Participation
: Learning should permit and encourage active participation of the
learner. It tends to raise motivation and apparently engages more senses that reinforce
the procedure of learning.
Repetition
: This principles aims to provide learner with the chance for practice and
repetition. To attain overall benefit of training learned behaviour should be
overlearned in order to ensure smooth performance.
Relevance
: Learning can be supportive when the sources used for learning for
meaningful. This kind of learning needs to be problem centre apart from content
centred.
Transference
: Learning can be transferred when trainees implement their knowledge
and skills acquired in training course towards their jobs.
Feedback
: It is provides information to individual about their growth. Feedback on
performance is an essential prerequisite for learning. It helps in improving
performance not only by support learners in correcting their mistakes but also
providing reinforcement for learning (
Carlson and et.al, 2020). 1 Models of learning
Pedagogy – According to author, pedagogy is recognised as study of how
understanding and skills are communicated within an educational context and it
considers the communications that take place while learning. This model places
students learning at the centre of planning and implementation. It also supports
teachers to design involving and challenging learning experiences through planned
integration of curriculum, pedagogy and evaluation. It is based on the fact that tutors
create professional skills and knowledge around curriculum, pedagogy and
assessment for continuously increasing their practices improving student learning.
There are five essential approaches of pedagogy such as constructivist, collaborative,
integrative, and reflective and inquiry based learning. Learning can be determined
by the methods of pedagogy that teacher use in classroom lectures. Principle of
appropriate pedagogy is Inclusion, motivation, quality assurance, consistency &
transparency and innovative approaches (Esmonde, 2017).
TEMPLATE FOR UNIT 502 THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND MODELS IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
Andragogy – It mainly refers to the theory of adult learning that provides
understanding about some ways in which adults learns differently than children. For
example, Adults are usually more personally directed, internally motivated and they
are always ready for learning. Theory is based on specific assumption that learners
should know about why they require to learn something, they should learn
experimentally, adults use learning as problem solving and they learn effective when
the topic is interesting or is of immediate value (Murtonen and Lehtinen, 2020). 2. (1. 3). Analyse models of learning preferences Kolbs learning model, honey and Mumford model, Gardner model and Fleming
model are the models of preferences.
Preferences of learning style are termed as attribute
towards strength and preferences in the ways that individual take in and process information.
Everyone utilized overall preferences at diverse durations but not usually within equal levels
of confidence. Individual learn in diverse ways and style of learning is an individual
preferred way of learning.
Kolb’s learning theory
: David Kolb outlined this theory of learning styles in 1984.
In this experiential theory, learning is viewed as four stage cycle. first immediate and
concrete experience serve as basis for observation. Next is individual reflection on
these observation and starts to create a general theory. Kolb states that learning
involves acquisition of abstract concepts
Honey and Mumford
: Learning styles are developed by Peter Honey and Alan
Mumford that student adopt based on Kolb work. These four learning styles used by
students are activist, theorist, pragmatist and reflector. Activist people learn by doing
things. Theorist learn by understanding theory behind action in the form of models
and facts. Pragmatists put learning in to practice and implement to real world.
Reflector learn through observation and reflection on this observation. They learn by
watching others.
Gardner model of learning
: Theory of multiple intelligences proposed by Howard
Gardener. It states that people are not born with overall intelligence they usually have.
Theorists challenged traditional notion that there is one single kind of intelligence
such as general intelligence that ever concentrated on cognitive abilities. To expand
the notion of preferences or intelligences, Gardner proposed eight diverse
intelligences such as Linguistic, logical/ mathematical, bodily kinaesthetic, musical,
interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist. Gardner suggested that there may other
candidate intelligence such as spiritual intelligence, existential intelligences and moral
intelligence. Linguistic intelligence deals with sensitivity towards the spoken and
written language, capability to learn different languages and capacity to utilize
language to complete particular targets.
TEMPLATE FOR UNIT 502 THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND MODELS IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
Fleming model
: This is another model of learning preferences. Vark model involves
learning styles developed by Neil Flaming in 1987. These styles are visual, auditory,
read/write and kinaesthetic. It states that material and evaluation must cater to overall
individual styles
. 5. 1.2 Explain ways in which theories, principles and
models of learning can be applied to teaching, learning
and assessment Social learning theory assumes can apply in teaching and learning. It assumes that classroom
can be utilized as social construction where students will collaborate in groups and work in
team to model responses and expectation altogether. This theory in integration of social
constructivism should be applied in form of journaling and empirical activities for creating
supportive and cooperative learning. Multiple intelligence theory of Howard Gardner can be applied in classroom as it
acknowledges diverse kinds of learning styles and puts the student in centre of learning
system through self-directed learning. This theory is parallel to brain based learning that will
be used in teaching spaces as making regular transforming and multi-sensory environment.
Cognitivism can be used in classroom for encouraging curiosity and testing hypothesis for
inquiry originates projects. As this model involves past experiences within learning teacher
can conclude a scenario to make a familiar environment for students. These theories can be applied in combination to each other based on capability and needs of
students to make an environment of learning for diverse kinds and preferences towards
acknowledgement of overall needs of diverse individuals. Below is a table fill this in:

AND TRAINING
this is not an effective method in contemporary practices because
the lectures are not structures highly and responsibility of learning
is not high as the tutor is accountable for learning. Along with
this, when this theory is utilized by teacher in classroom, it will not
provide understanding about the diversity of students. This theory
of learning is psychological-grounded theory with pedagogical line
of thought, based on the ideas that behaviour can be researched
scientifically without consideration of cognitive states.
Behaviourism is also known as theory of learning based on the idea
that overall behavioural theories are acquired through conditioning.
COGNITIVISM
Cognitivism theory is applied in classroom to encourage curiosity
and evaluation of hypothesis for inquiry oriented projects. As this
theory of learning, this model involves previous experiences within
learning that involves a scenario to make an environment for
students to be familiar with (
Crook and Sutherland, 2017). According to Piaget, there are four stages of learning such as
sensorimotor, preoperational, and concrete operational and formal
operational. Piaget states that all individuals usually pass through
these stages to reach the next level of cognitive development.
However, other researcher has identified some shortfalls in this
theory. First argument states that by determining activities with
confusing abstract terms and utilizing complex tasks, Piaget
underestimated capabilities of children’s. Therefore, an important
implication of this theory is adaptation of instructions towards the
learner development level. The content of instructions is required
to consistent with the development level of learner (
Chaghari and
et.al, 2017). CONSTRUCTIVISM
Cognitive constructivism defines that understanding is something
that is actively developed by learners based on their existing
cognitive structures. Therefore, learning is related to their stage of
cognitive development. Social constructivism defines learning as
collaborative procedure and knowledge develops from the
individual interactions with their own culture and society. As per
the theorists, main responsibility of teacher under this theory is to
make collaborative problem solving environment where students
become active participants in their own learning. In constructive
learning, knowledge will be shared between teachers and students,
they share authority, role of teach is one facilitator or guide and
learning groups involves small numbers of heterogeneous students
(
Illeris, 2018).
KOLB
This theory is based on the fact that individual acquire learning in
different ways which are suitable for them and helps in increasing
knowledge such as actions, observation, communication, practice
and evaluation (
Brown, 2019). This theory of learning is based on
four different learning styles such as converging, diverging,
TEMPLATE FOR UNIT 502 THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND MODELS IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
Assimilation and accommodators.
Students who adopt converging
style of learning usually prefer to learn by solving issues and
performing technical tasks and they are also good at finding
practical utilization for ideas. They learn by analysing conceptual
understanding and active experimentation. Diverging learner
usually prefer to learn through analysis, observation of others,
brainstorming and collecting information. These individuals are
usually imaginative and sensitive. They usually like practical
experience and reflection. Assimilators are individuals that prefer to learn by putting
information to concise logical order and using reflective
observation. They usually like intellectual showing and theoretical
understanding. Accommodators usually prefer to learn by taking a
practical and experiential approach. They are usually individual
oriented and different from learner that mainly depends on feeling
more than logical analysis. HONEY
AND
MUMFORD
This model is also similar with Kolb’s because it has also provided
four different styles of learning such as activist, reflector, theorist
and pragmatist. This theory is proposed by peter honey and Alan
Mumford in 1986. Activist style involves students that learn by
doing things effectively. Activists usually get their hands dirty, to
dive within both feet first. They usually have an open-minded
approach towards learning, involves themselves completely and
without biasness within new experiences. GARDINER
It is also known as Multiple intelligence model of learning based
on seven linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily
kinaesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal. Mainly, it is essential
for teachers to test the majority of the classroom based in diverse
learning preferences, yet moreover within crowded classrooms in
order to combine diverse learning style of groups is very essential
in order to balance the group dynamics (
Calik and Birgili, 2013). FLEMING
It is the most common and effectively used model of learning
styles. It provides common way to explain and analyse learning
styles. These individuals usually learn by observing other people
through visuals. They learn from pictures, visual aids like
overhead slides, diagrams and handouts. Auditory learner usually
prefers to learn through listening. They usually like pictures,
discussions and tapes. Kinaesthetic style of learning is used by
students that aim to learn by experience of moving, touching and
performing task. They want to take active exploration of the world
such as science projects, building structures and active
experimentation.

Explain how identifying and taking account of
learners’ individual learning preferences enables
inclusive teaching, learning and assessment
Learning preferences are essential for appreciation within classroom as it usually requires
diverse techniques to be combined with a maximized learning. This essential practice is
classroom not only assist the flow of individuals but also provides them motivation to
perform more efforts. This essential practice tends to involve individuals actively and
making a multiple sensory environment as more senses involved the more individuals will
learn. As per the requirement of leaner, a weak learner usually needs an effective guideline
for the teacher and a bright student not only requires an effective guideline for the bright

future. Multiple intelligence model provides support in analyse effective strategies and
effective approaches for the specific student, the growth within teaching and techniques of
learning that will surely provide support within assessment of students by utilizing effective
models of learning (
Kortegast, 2017). Inclusive teaching is an important principle that is based on involvement of both teacher and
learner in the process of learning. Both student and teacher will coordinate with each other to
enhance knowledge, skills and capabilities of learners. These essential techniques of
observation, practice and theoretical understanding can be applied for learning. Teacher can deal with by providing actual examples to learners who have special need and
disability. Teacher can interact with these learners and provides them learning in the form of
stories, ideas, concepts and virtual presentation to make learning easier for them. Teacher
should involve case studies, discussions, problem solving and time to reflect. 4.1 CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT – 4.1 Analyse theories and models of curriculum and
development
Curriculum development can be considered as the procedure of planning, implementation
and evaluation of curriculum that mainly results within a curriculum plan. Tyler also explain
that curriculum planning is a continuous, cyclical process, an instrument of education that
needs to be fine-tuned. In this model Tyler stated that curriculum planners identify general
objectives by gathering data from three sources such as learners, contemporary life outside
the school and subject matter. Curriculum objectives clearly indicate both individual
behaviour that needs to be developed and area of content to be applied (
Lefrancois, 2019).
Curriculum theory is that which provides a solid platform in related to education. Educational
practitioners such as teachers, professors, administrators point similar important and specific
roles for curriculum advancement. The models based on this curriculum are linear model,
cyclical model and Peyton model. These models have been used to identify the context of
what to be delivered, identifying learner needs, identifications of limits and boundaries,
deliver course, development plans and analysis of outcomes and feedbacks.
TEMPLATE FOR UNIT 502 THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND MODELS IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
Models of curriculum development Product: This theory was established by tyler and later modified by Taba. It identified
learning objectives and structures learning and evaluation around these. This theory
concentrates on outcomes of learning and uses a systematic approach to curriculum design.
This kind of model can be essential within a modular programme specifically when combined
with graded levels of achievement. There are four steps of curriculum design such as:
Identification of wide aims and specific objectives
Constructing the course so objectives can be achieved
Testing capacity of the course to attain objectives
Determining the curriculum and objectives to teachers. Process
: This model was established in 1960 which is student based model and promotes
active learning. This models is based on humanism is accordance with humanism learning
and it can be considered as relatively descriptive within its mechanism. It identified the
content of learning but situated this within the context of their learning. For example it is
related with their learning preferences. This model involves four steps of curriculum design
such as
Training and skill acquisition
Information acquisition
Socialization
Problem solving
Curriculum development is essential in my teaching and provides major influence on mu
learners and their growth. I also have faith that it is important that I recognise which
theories and models are suitable with needs of my learners and act upon this. Praxis
: It is cycle of theory and purposeful action that incorporation reflection. It helps in
analysing efforts so that I can develop and improve my thinking, doing and effectiveness as
educators. This theory holds that teaching practice must not only concentrate on individuals
alone or the group alone. Instead, it pays careful attention to the way in which individuals and
group create understandings and practices as well as meaning. It indicates that both teachers
and learner must be able to communicate and encourage learner to confront the real problems
of the life curriculum should make the learners to aware of their own collective situations
TEMPLATE FOR UNIT 502 THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND MODELS IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
and how to change them for the better as a result of their commitment efforts (
Lefrancois,
2019).
Theories of curriculum development
Tyler model
:
This model posits the issues with the education that educational programs lack mistakably
defined objectives. Tyler stated that curriculum needs to be dynamic and a program under
continuous evaluation and revision. It had always been considered as a static, set program
and in an era preoccupied with student testing, this model offered innovative idea that
teachers and administrators should spend as much time evaluating their plan as they do
assessing their students. Tyler recommended that teachers needs to identify general purpose by collecting data from
the learners, contemporary life outside school and subject matter. After analysing numerous
general objectives, the teacher should refine them by filtering them through philosophical and
psychological screen. Stenhouse: Lawrence Stenhouse proposed one best known explorations of a process model of
curriculum development theory and practice. This theory defines curriculum as an attempt to
communicate these essential principles and features of an educational proposal in such a form
that it is open to critical screening and capable of effective communication in to
implementation. This theory promotes more students choice, looks at curriculum not as
physical thing but as interaction of learners, students and knowledge.

4.2 Explain ways in which theories and models of
curriculum development can be applied in developing
curricula in own area of specialism
Curriculum development is not implemented in insolation but it is considered as piece of
planning, advancement, implementation and review in the field of education. The curriculum
theory provides support in understanding diverse scales like large curriculum reform to
transforms to beings lessons. There are diverse models that could be concluded to create the
base of the development of the curriculum (
Miller, Manderfeld and Harsma, 2020). Design
of curriculum is identify the objectives and ordered aims, designing of the courses that need
to be executed, testing the capabilities of courses in order to attain the analysis and the
explanation by the teachers. The benefits of tyler model or discussion that enables
benchmarking of subject and functional classifications. The trainer needs to survey the
desirable feedback and should explain them effective and clearly. Then they are required to
work backward in order to verify the best experiences of learning to get appropriate feedback.
This Investigation factors enables teachers in reflecting effective principles to concentrate
more on what the students will attain to create the educational situation of the education
systems. Piaget and Gardner cognitive theory is most effective and useful for creation of curriculum at
very early stages. Giving proper environment should have an influence on student’s learning
and it is usually stated that vulgar environment is not suitable or proper for development of
learning.
Gardner on other side defines that appropriate structure and cultural activity are required for
curriculum development. For example, from early mathematics and practicing music can
helps in increasing the brain development which leads towards the futile method of learning.
Application of curriculum development theories to program design
: Most of
institutions apply these theories to design programs of competency development for
the learners. These programs are held on the development of skills, personification,
public speaking and analytical capability.
Meetings needs of awarding organization
: for completing the needs, the students
should follow the specific procedure and create their own skills. This is an essential
opportunity that will allow learner to compete with the most qualified.
TEMPLATE FOR UNIT 502 THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND MODELS IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
Study skills
: Studying is analysed as essential source of acquiring knowledge,
however this task cannot be done in chaotic way, depicted by students of college.
Memorizing and analytical strength usually depends upon the study strategy
(
Murtonen and Lehtinen, 2020). Developing curriculum
Using technology for increasing range of approaches toward learning and teaching is
an important method for curriculum development. I will develop my teaching methods by
using technologies as a source of teaching. I will also integrate computer systems and
internet working in order to design curriculum for students. To motivate learners and ensure
that learner is getting appropriate understanding, I will promote interactive learning with
students. 5.1 & 5.2
7. REFLECTION – Reflection is analysed as method of creating self-awareness related to performance and
changes in behaviour, enabling progress and development. For various, it is a skill that needs
to be learnt. There are various theories and models which consider reflective practice.
Experiential learning (Piaget) is considered as theory related to reflective practice,
concentrating on the procedure and context of learning. This states that learning begins from
the problematic experience. This learning can be considered as effective when individual
become involved with the procedure, it is relevant with their needs, they are motivated
towards learning and collectively involved within the procedure. Learning is analysed
cyclical procedure that involves experience, observation and reflection, abstract
reconceptualization and experimentation. However, this model does not take in to account
for the impacts of non-reflective experience or shared experience on the procedure of
learning (
Schunk and DiBenedetto, 2020).
TEMPLATE FOR UNIT 502 THEORIES, PRINCIPLES AND MODELS IN EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
Figure 2 SCHON Model of reflective practice
(Source: Iqbal, Ramzan and Arain, 2016)
SCHON
This model accounts for both reflection during and after the events. This enables more deep
reflection and teaches students to take control of their situation as they are arising and
developing the skills to be able to think on an individual’s feet. Moreover, reflection in action
is considered as procedure for professional self-evaluation because it needs major skills to
attain for the students they are initiating on the procedure so it is unlikely that they will be
able to attain the deeper levels of reflection (
Tafuri and Molisso, 2017).

Figure 3 Brookfield model of evaluation
(Source: Cljeffs, 2015)
The 4 Lenses of Reflective Practice in Teaching
Brookfield suggested in this theory that path to discover the work of teaching is through a
procedure of critical reflection. Critically reflective teachers are excellent teachers who
continuously use their personalized authentic voice that reveal the value and dignity of
teacher’s work. The task of critically reflective learning is to garner an increased awareness
of their teaching from different vantage points as possible.
Critically reflective teachers create three benefits such as inspiring self-confidence, achieving
educational Smart targets and motivated, critically reflective learners. The goal of the critically reflective teacher is to gain increasing awareness about one’s own
teaching and effectiveness from as many different viewpoints as possible. The continual and

Autobiographical Lens
Teachers may focus on their experiences as teachers in order to reveal aspects of their
pedagogies that may need adjustment or strengthening. Activities using this lens include:
Teaching Portfolios • Philosophy of Teaching and Learning • A/V Recordings • Teaching
Logs • Teacher Learning Audits • Role Model Profiles • Survival Advice Memos •
Conference Learning Logs
These recording and teaching logs can be utilized for critical learning, keeping record that
allows students to improve their learning. Teaching logs, audit and advices are three essential
elements that helps teacher to consider their own experience with students concerning
education and learning. This analysis of learning experience will support to uncover
assumptions and convictions about the way people learn.
