For this activity, you are to identify a current challenge or problem that you experience and then apply the systematic reflective process describe below.
According to John Dewey, reflection is a systematic thought process. Dewey offers a five step process to engage in reflective thought.
5 Steps:
- a felt difficulty,
- its location and definition,
- suggestion of possible solution,
- development by reasoning of the implication and consequences of the solution, and
- further observation and experiment leading to its acceptance or rejection
In some cases, you may not be able to complete the full process, if you have only reasoned about possible solutions.
