very burning question
how to distinguish reflective teaching from action research?
AR: one way of being reflective teachers
RT: doing something a little bit different.
Reflective teaching and AR
RT AR
reflection-in-action reflective-on-action
systematic +systematic
- data collection + data collection
theory development +theory devt
reflective teaching and action research can be said to be on a continuum of reflexive practice ( See p.22. Burns, 2010）
The last word
being involved in action research works inside you like a vaccine. once you have been vaccinated, you are <vaccinated> for life. once you've been through an action research cycle your look on pupils and teaching changed in a way that is irreversible.
