Reflexivity in Education: The Process of Getting to Know Oneself
Journal Title: Studia Paedagogica Ignatiana. Rocznik Wydziału Pedagogicznego Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Reflexivity is a characteristic of every human being, the mental competence and human ability to be both a subject and object of cognition. It is a kind of internal dialogue that manifests itself in the concrete actions undertaken by the person. It is prone to reflection, thinking about something, analysis. Man, when he makes the effort to think, acquires the ability to reflect. It seems that modern education puts the focus on education aside from aspects of upbringing and self-education and yet an unreflective, schematic education brings with it many risks. In the process of upbringing, which lasts throughout human life, reflection is very important and necessary. Consequently, the subject of research of this paper is reflection in the context of the process of education. Therefore, in the theoretical aspect, reflections will be presented as a pedagogical category. Then we will discuss the basic concepts of reflexivity presented by John Dewey, Jürgen Habermas, David Kolb and Donald Schön. It will also show reflexivity from the perspective of the process of self-knowledge. Such reflectivity is a crucial point for pedagogical theory and education as it deals with the key problem of the subject and the process of becoming involved in it.
