Transcript of LTSE 2016: HBS2
Now you see it, now you don’t
A case for developing reflection among higher education staff? http://www.herts.ac.uk/apply/schools-of-study/business
What are we going to talk about?
• Findings from initial research into
teaching and learning staff
development
• The implications of the data
• Whether a planned framework of
reflection would be a useful step in
designing effective staff development
We asked staff …
• In what ways has the knowledge you gained from your staff development
changed how you do your job ?
• What learning and teaching staff development would you like to see
provided in the future ?
• Emerging themes from the data
• Confidence building, teaching techniques, networking, use of specific
technology, reflection, student engagement, internal university processes,
management of self and others, wider HE perspective
What did staff say they gained?
What did staff say they wanted?

What was our definition of reflection?
Classified as reflection anything which denoted:
• “ stepping or sitting back from a situation to review it “ (Clark,
2009:215)
• “reflective practice ….is the practice of periodically stepping back to
ponder the meaning of what has recently transpired to ourselves
and to others in our immediate environment” (Raelin, 2002: 66)
Why was reflection hardly requested?
Something perceived as already learned (Moon, 2001)
Not enough time – complex and changing role (Locke, 2014)
Not specific enough for staff to think it could be suitable for
development activity (Moon, 2001)
May be a resisted concept - narcissistic, self-indulgent (Rigg, 2008;
Davis & Moon, 2014)
How might planned reflection help?
