Reviews / Votes
"... I was propelled through the text by its insightful contributors, all working to make their own reflective process as transparent as possible... Knowles, et al have done a masterful job of presenting the reader with enough background to get started and enough encouragement to move forward..." - The Sport Psychologist Journal, Volume 28, Issue 3, September"I very much enjoyed reading this book, and feel it is suited to researchers, educators, practitioners, neophytes and students alike. The reader is encouraged to select chapters in which they feel is appropriate to their own context but I would highly recommend engaging in the entire text to consider a variety of issues when understanding, providing or engaging in reflection. In particular, I feel that it is written in such a way that it somewhat inspires one to get out there and strive for practice improvement at every opportunity." - Richard Collins, Hartpury College, Gloucestershire, reviewed in the Sport and Exercise Psychology Review. A Publication by the British Psychological Society.
'This book is a particularly uplifting read and has lead me to re-think my own practice based research. In spite of the difficulties facing those who engage in reflective practice it is most definitely time to embrace the challenges involved. Leading by example. this publication demonstrates how sharing and reflecting on these experiences opens the door to questioning, expanding and developing reflective practice itself.' - Hannah Gravestock, QMiP Bulletin, Issue 22, Autumn 2016
