Reflective Practice In Legal Education: The Stages Of Reflection, Timothy Casey
Reflective Practice In Legal Education: The Stages Of Reflection, Timothy Casey
Faculty Scholarship
Experiential legal education programs include reflection as an explicit learning outcome. Although many teachers and students have seen the value of reflection, few have studied the process of reflection. Drawing from research in the fields of cognitive development, reflective judgment, and moral reasoning, this article presents an organizational model for teaching reflection in six stages. The Stages of Reflection model provides teachers and students with a deeper understanding of the process of reflection, and creates a pathway for the development of reflective practice.
