…affords teachers conscious, deliberate insight to bring about learning and encourages them to become students of their own teaching. (Dewey, 1933)
…helps to focus on the relationship between theory and practice. (Wegner, 2005)
…helps make meaning out of content applied in a specific practice situation and better understand the complexity of how one acts and might act in a future situation. (Stein, 2000)
…facilitates introspective learning from values, beliefs, knowledge, and experiences that contribute to perspectives of one’s self, other people, the world. (Shandomo, 2010)
Necessary for reflective practice – rather than rely on the authority of others, their own impulse, or unexamined previous practice, teachers must continually examine and evaluate their attitudes, practices, effectiveness, and accomplishments. (Shandomo, 2010)

reflection is an active, persistent, and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in light of the grounds supporting it and future conclusions to which it tends(Dewey, 1933)
reflection blends learning through experience with theoretical and technical learning to form new knowledge constructions and new behaviors or insights (Stein, 2000)
reflection is an educational imagination that allows candidates to look at themselves and their situations with new eyes, and in the process, become conscious of the multiple ways they can interpret, critique, challenge, confront, and reconstruct teaching (Ajayi, 2011)
From Chris Hertel’s flickr stream
The end result of critical reflection for the individual is cognitive change.(Yost, Sentner, Forlenza-Bailey, 2000)
Technical reflection is concerned with the technical application of knowledge to achieve certain ends which themselves are not open to criticism or modification.
Practical reflection allows for open examination of means and also goals, the assumptions upon which these are based, and the actual outcomes.
Critical reflection includes emphases from the previous two levels, and calls for considerations involving moral and ethical criteria, making judgments about whether professional activity is equitable, just and respectful of persons or not. It locates any analysis of personal action within wider sociohistorical and politico-cultural contexts.
