High Impact Educational Practices (HIEPs) have been extensively tested as compelling pedagogies for university students from an array of backgrounds, especially for the underprepared, and those with limited opportunity for high-impact learning experiences. This handbook is written with our firm belief that while higher education practitioners around the world are focused on improving student outcomes, not many have access to a better understanding of the conceptual foundations, empirical research and best practices in student engagement and high impact educational pedagogies. In this book, we unpack the essential conceptual constructs around the notions of student engagement to encourage readers to purposefully add HIEPs to their pedagogical repertoire and engage in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) practices.

This edited volume presents a model that embraces four components of reflective practice: planning, acting, reflecting and evaluating. The complexities of reflective practice are manifested through three aspects of reflection: problem-solving, action-orientedness and critical reflection. To provide practical guidance, the audience is presented with various sets of experiences within the field of education which represent different foci and criticality of reflection. The experiences are described through different lenses, from individual to groups of educators. The chapters provide a reconceptualisation of reflection which underpins an effective reflective practice. Therefore, readers are provided with information that demonstrates the different phases of reflection that make up an effective cycle of reflective practice. It is through the chapters that readers will be able to distinguish the different foci and levels of reflection, thus enabling them to engage in reflective practice more effectively. The Malaysian context that the book brings gives readers insights into a lesser-known context and its people, culture, and educational system as a whole for comparison. The book is written with the needs of student teachers and teacher educators in mind. However, the model reconceptualised is transferable to other disciplines too.

This book explores how Malaysian student teachers practice reflection during their teaching practicum, how practice contexts influenced their practices and which aspects of professional knowledge were constructed from their reflective practices. It was found that there were two levels of reflective practices among student teachers. The public level consisted of reflections through existing mechanisms post conference discussions, post-lesson analyses and weekly journals. Reflections were very weak at this level. At the private level, student teachers reflected deeply upon their experiences. They examined their own teaching, their pupils, and their beliefs or values about teaching. However, these reflections were not documented. Reflections at this private level were rich and varied but they were not visible to the supervisors. Two significant findings are that student teachers reflective practices lacked an element of inquiry, and that reflective practices were carried out individual

Reflective practice has moved from the margins to the mainstream of professional education. However, in this process, its radical potential has been subsumed by individualistic, rather than situated, understandings of practice. Presenting critical perspectives that challenge the current paradigm, this book aims to move beyond reflective practice. It proposes new conceptualisations and offers fresh approaches relevant across professions. Contributors include both academics and practitioners concerned with the training and development of professionals. Definitions of reflection (which are often implicit) often focus on the individual's internal thought processes and responsibility for their actions. The individual - what they did/thought/felt – is emphasised with little recognition of context, power dynamics or ideological challenge. This book presents the work of practitioners, educators, academics and researchers who see this as problematic and are moving towards a more critical approach to reflective practice. With an overview from the editors and fourteen chapters considering new conceptualisations, professional perspectives and new practices, Beyond Reflective Practice examines what new forms of professional reflective practice are emerging. It examines in particular the relationships between reflective practitioners and those upon whom they practise. It looks at the ways in which the world of professional work has changed and the ways in which professional practice needs to change to meet the needs of this new world. It will be relevant for those concerned with initial and ongoing professional learning, both in work and in educational contexts.
