Abstract

Teaching reflection in a work-based learning (WBL) environment where students combine work with study appears to be a neglected area of research in management education. With a focus on transformative learning, WBL programmes in HE perceives students' reflexive capacity as a skill to be learnt for professional development rather than accompanying a particular academic curriculum. In this paper, I share my experience of teaching the value of reflection and different qualities of reflective writing from within classroom experience. By this I mean helping students to 'see from within' rather than 'knowing about'. Using action research, a full version of this paper will include a description of what I did, why, and what happened. I use my dialogue with students, a 'critical friend' and teaching team in addition to my own reflection and students’ reflective statements to make sense of my practice and understand its impact on others. By adopting a critical dialogic approach, I am hoping to show a practical account of my own transformative learning of becoming a management educator. The paper has practical implications for teaching reflection from within an experience and the use of action research with critical orientation for management educators' development.
