1. Terminologies
Reflection vs. reflexivity
Reflection is simply thinking about an issue, whereas reflexive questions are supposed to result in interrogating organisational collusion with oppressive systems and producing strategies for mitigating or addressing these challenges.
“Reflective practice is a process by which you: pause and think about your practice; consciously analyse your decision making; and draw on theory to relate it to what you did (or didn’t do) in practice. Reflexivity is finding strategies to question our own attitudes, thought processes, values, assumptions, prejudices and habitual actions, to strive to understand our complex roles in relation to others. To be reflexive is to recognise we are active in shaping our surroundings, and begin critically to take circumstances and relationships into consideration rather than merely reacting to them, and help review and revise ethical ways of being and relating in our world.”
