Reflect, as a term, takes a specialized meaning from an everyday lexis. Moon (2010) described the clarity of practice in order to differentiate a difference between understanding as a result of thinking while doing an activity as well as thinking done after the activity.

Bradley, your post this week was very insightful, and you provided great examples to support your premise.

Additionally, I do not think the public understands that if the equipment were not transferred to a law enforcement agency then it would simply be destroyed. I’d like to believe when this program is utilized that it permits law enforcement agencies to establish other community outreach programs.…

Our own personal life experiences can create a lens in which we see the world through. Different life experiences can create a number of different world views, values and beliefs for practitioners. Thus, critical reflective practice amongst practitioners and stakeholders can raise awareness around these different perspectives and assumption held within practitioner’s roles in multiple discourses.
