Produktbeschreibung
This edited volume explores reflective practice in higher education from multiple perspectives in a common context: Oman's national higher education system. The authors of the chapters address how higher education institutions can create opportunities for academic staff to engage in reflective practice, leading to gradual shifts in their pedagogical awareness and behavior in class; how reflective practice supports professional development; how teaching observation practices can create a culture of improvement and excellence in teaching and learning; how reflective practitioners can effect institutional change; promotion of reflective practice among students and the resulting benefits; enhancement of student academic support; and the promising intersection between reflective practice and AI tools for professional development. The case studies detailed by the authors show how reflective practice can be successfully implemented for the benefit of diverse stakeholders across higher education.

"Reflective Practice for Elevating Higher Education: Voices from Oman offers a rare and deeply insightful exploration of reflective practice grounded in the unique context of Oman's higher education system. What makes this volume especially valuable is its rich combination of personal narratives, empirical studies, and practical frameworks that address not only teacher education but also professional development, quality assurance, and the emerging challenges of AI in higher education. The inclusion of the voices of administrators, policymakers, and educators creates a multifaceted perspective that will resonate well beyond Oman's borders."
Hayo Reinders, Senior Professor of TESOL and Director of Research, Anaheim University
