Abstract
- In both Australia and Malaysia where there is strong central oversight of education, reflective thinking is promoted as integral to an effective pedagogy that leads to good quality learner outcomes. Besides providing tools and resources for teachers and pre-service teachers to use, increasing the systemic procedures for teacher advancement and accreditation require documented evidence of reflective practice. While the idea of the reflective practitioner has taken hold in the Australian and Malaysian education sectors, there are questions about the value of externally driven approaches for developing the internalised and meaningful reflective practices that are sought. This scoping review seeks to draw together the existing literature, and to identify emerging themes, opportunities, barriers and challenges for researchers in relation to the way reflective practice is manifested in Malaysia and Australia; how widespread its adoption is; and the effectiveness of different practices. The overarching finding is that this area is under researched. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
