[Practitioners] frame the problem of the situation, they determine the features to which they will attend, the order they will attempt to impose on the situation, the directions in which they will try to change it. In this process, they identify both the ends to be sought and the means to be employed.
Schön, 1983
In Unit 3, the focus is on reflective practice and professional dialogue.
You will be introduced to a model for reflection that deals with the questions: What? So What? and Now What?
Apart from that, you will define a research question and engage in a professional dialogue with your mentors and peers to find possible solutions to it. The key value of the exercise is to start looking at the classroom through the lens of inquiry and reflection using the expertise of your colleagues and mentors.
