Reflective Learning Theory-Greta Brantley

The reflective learning theory best explains why adults learn because reflective learning is the process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, and which results in a changed conceptual perspective.

Reflective learning has six components related to the process of reflective learning. They are as follows: self-examination, estimate if it is effective, give birth to questions, analyze the difficulties and the gaps, strategies, and evaluate if it is effective.

Reflective is an ongoing process in which participants in a situation take time to examine their experiences, to think how things might be different, to think through these possibilities and to try out what seems to be the best option. For example, when staff members are working on a project for their school, they go through all these processes. They have a goal in mind and they are looking for the best way to approach it and create it. They look at where we are now, brainstorm ideas with questions, analyze what problems they foresee, and then they evaluate the plan to see if it will be effective. Reflective learning is a process which involves dialogue with others for improvement or transformation of the emotional, social, and political context of the learner.

The concept of teaching as teaching reflection-in-action refers to the educators thinking about the teachin /learning process or problem-solving/learning situations while directly engaged in the learning process. Reflection-in-action teaches us how to understand information that has been given to us at a given time and then it assists us with the processing of the information.
