CIQ
Currently I am in the process of conducting research into effective critical reflection within an educational environment. This Research is in conjunction with the Centre for Educational Research, University of Derby.
It is my intention to use Stephen Brookfield's Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ) to gain knowledge of individual student perspectives.
So what is critical reflection?
"When we reflect, we not only challenge our assumptions about why we do what we do, we can also help ourselves identify where we feel lacking and why we may be setting ourselves unnecessarily unachievable standards. How can we reflect on our approaches to our practice? What can we do? What can we uncover in the process?" (Hillier, 2005)
"To put it briefly, reflection becomes critical when it has two distinctive purposes. The first is to understand how considerations of power undergird, frame, and distort educational processes and interactions. The second is to question assumptions and practices that seem to make our teaching lives easier but actually work against our own best long-term interests." (Brookfield, 1995)
Please read the guidance notes before you complete the CIQ.
All you need to do is just before the end of the lesson click on the “CIQ Questionnaire” link and either fill in their responses to the questions on that page or download the document and complete in word; copy the questions and their responses; click on the comments tab (in blue writing; it probably says 0 comments to start with) at the bottom of the page and then paste their response in the comments box at the bottom of the page.
It is important to remember that they will need to change the “comment as” option to “Anonymous” as it is important that I do not know the identities of any individual who makes the post.
Furthermore, remember to keep a copy of your CIQ (save it as a word document) for your own records.
Thanks!
