Reflective Practice Research in Higher Education Pedagogies

This anthology examines university lecturers' experiences with pedagogical practices across various higher education disciplines. The experiences are investigated by means of reflective practice research - a phenomenological and hermeneutical approach intended to make implicit practical knowledge explicit, and thus to develop a deeper understanding of professional practices. While instrumental practice research gives a practitioner knowledge of facts, reflective practice research gives the practitioner orientational knowledge, in line with a so-called kaleidoscopic epistemology. Michael Noah Weiss is associate professor of pedagogy at the University of South-Eastern Norway and has a PhD in philosophy of science. Guro Hansen Helskog is professor of pedagogy at the University of South-Eastern Norway and author of Philosophizing the Dialogos Way towards Wisdom in Education.
